Stop and POST!

[Ron Duke]

Tim,
Yes, well, you may have noticed that I haven't drawn a background for any of my cars, as the cars were enough of a subject in themselves for me to draw; and they were my subject, not the background. The boards I post behind were just an added touch of mine to make the car stand out as opposed to a plain white background. The reflections and details I draw ALL reflect the actual image I'm drawing, so if it happens to be sitting on a lawn and reflecting the grass in the chrome in the actual photo, that's what I draw. If I were going to use the car in a particular setting, then, yes, I would make alterations to fit the seen.
thanks,
ron

Back to minimalism. I tried various colours for the background and reflections and eventually settled for the deep green, sky blue and black. The black outline isn't something I'd normally use, but in this case it made the design more sharp.

Hi Simon
For a minimalist image (with few colora/lines/shapes) it looks almost photorealistic.
Great use of the limited color palette.
Very nice!

Simon,


Now that you have captured the essence of the paper clip. It is time to move up to a soup can. What can you do, with that as a minimalist?

Nice job on the clip!

Simon,
Good job. Yeah, do a soup can that Andy would be proud of.

Haven't reached the soup course yet, but here is a culinary contribution for a starter . It works best with a French accent:

Simon,

pretty Good on the place setting. I think the knife is a little too minimalistic. Looks like a plastic knife.

Since the Campbell's soup can represented something quintessentially American to Warhol, I have decided to imortalise the much-misunderstood little black bottle of yeast extract which means so much to Britons at home and abroad:

Andy woz 'ere!

And a more blatant tribute (or is it a pastiche?). Look carefully...
