They won't stay still!

 
Painting Willhoites the local biker hangout in Grapevine, but it's not easy when
your subjects keep riding away. I tool a cell phone picture because I anticipated this,
but the final result is probably a mishmash of the real bikes. I will post the final painting asap.
 
I'm not sure what I'm doing with that little brush. I paint most of my work with a
size 6 to 8 flat brush. You can get into trouble picking up the little ones. Your always
better off abstracting the form down to it's essence and minimizing the little stokes.
Paint as much of it as possible with the largest brush you can.
 
cliff notes...
Big brush = good
Small brush = bad
