I was asked to paint a father’s beloved Ferrari as a gift from his daughter for Father’s Day. The coolest aspect I can share about this particular painting is that I use what is referred to as “a limited palette”. I only use three colors to paint with… magenta, a bright yellow and turquoise. Although this car is red, I never use red paint (I mix it from magenta and yellow). Though there is white, I don’t use white paint ( instead I let the white from the canvas show through). Though it looks like there is black, I don’t use that color of paint either (I mix the dark color from magenta, yellow and turquoise). When painting with acrylics my go-to brand is Apple Barrel, sold at Walmart. I love them because they are already thinned down… the way I like my paint to be. If you look at the zoomed in image of the car, the light areas aren’t actually “painted” I painted around them to let the canvas show through… sorta like using watercolors.
