I'm playing around with working on canvas and I'm pretty happy with the results on my second piece.

Mixing (acrylic) paint colours is apparently difficult and I ended up a bit dark with the blue and especially the purple of the M stripes. Also, the red could probably have done with a second coat, it didn't cover as well as the other colours. The car was done by first sketching in pencil and finished with a Prismacolor maker. It would have been insanely difficult and tedious to get the desired detail with paint, something I don't have the patience for.

Excuse the poor picture quality, everything with the yellowish tinge is actually white. The incandescent light in where I hung it is not conducive to a good photo and I don't have to photography knowledge to correct for that. I might try to get a better one tomorrow.

First off, what an awesome piece of art!

If you ever make another one of these or swap the E30 for an E46 (CSL...wink wink) I'd like to be first on the buyers list.

Please make one with an E90 M3, and then promptly sell it to me. Thanks in advance =)

Thanks. I made an outline to border the stripes, painted them, then sketched all the details by hand and finished them with the marker. Luckily you can erase pencil on primed canvas if you sketch lightly. :)

Thanks. I did it for fun and for something to put on my own walls but I'd definitely make more. What might someone pay for something like this? (the canvas is 16" x 20" btw)

Hah, it seems a few people want one. I'll think about making some more. I'll have to get some more canvasses...

Do it!! It would look awesome with the E90's gaping maw. Here's a pic for inspiration. (Man, I wish those splitters had stayed that nice. They don't look as pristine after 12 track days lol)
