Love VW buses. They were the rage during the '60's and 70's. It was fun driving them. I remember taking our bus to Tahoe during the winter and having trouble finding it after a snowstorm. We didn't dig it out for a week. It started right up and got us home.
This was a very quick sketch and painting for a Senior Watercolor Class. The object was to grey colors by mixing some black. It worked for some colors but not all. The bus didn't get any and you can see the sparkle. I prefer to make greys by mixing complementary colors in nearly equal amounts. This method produces greys that enhance one or the other of the complementary colors when placed next to it. The mixing can be done on the palate or directly on the paper.
