Thanks to #FernandoAlonsoOficial for all his hard work at Ferrari, shame we couldn’t of given you a better car to have kicked more ass.

Just another very quick update. The painting of Fernando Alonso is nearly complete after I spent 5 hours adding the track to the painting. I still need to add the steering wheel and a few other details along with amending the shadow on the front left tyre (it looks like it is floating above the track) I am hoping to complete this on Saturday before leaving it to try for a week before scanning.

This will be my last post before revealing the final image so please check back here next Saturday to see the final detailed scanned image.

Next Lewis Hamilton in his McClaren from 2008!

Nearly Finished!

Just another quick update. I have now finished adding the details to the car, this is now complete and the painting is now ready for the track and shadows to be painted in. All being well the painting should be completed by next Sunday. Once dry I am hoping to scan it and if time is available have a professional print made before the Christmas Holidays.

Just a very quick update, the painting of Fernando Alonso is now nearing completion. A majority of the body details have now been added along with the front wing and rear wing details. Fernando Alonso’s helmet has also has been worked into the painting but this will need some reworking and details adding before being completed. I am hoping to complete the painting by the end of November which will allow me to research and begin a new painting of Lewis Hamilton in his McClaren from 2008.

More progress has been made the painting of Fernando Alonso over the past few weeks. A majority of the body work is now complete along with the 4 tyres. I am aiming to now add the remaining body work and front right suspension along with adding the missing front wing details.

Rapid progress has been made on the painting of Alonso over the past weeks and now much of the right hand side is completed. I was also able to start adding the front wing and add a few minor suspension details. With a school holiday fast approaching I am aiming to complete a majority of the painting by the end of this break.

More work has continued on the painting of Fernando Alonso over the weekend. I have now added part of the front left/right suspension and added more body work, along with some more shadows and other minor details. I am now aiming to either start/complete the front and rear wings over the next few weekends.

Another quick update regarding the Fernando Alonso painting. I have managed to add a few more details to the body work and am now starting to add the front wing and area around the suspension on the front left of the car. I am aiming to be able to put some more details on over the weekend once the image has dried.

Just another quick update about the painting. Both left/right hand wheels have now been added to the painting along with the rear suspension and more body work towards the back of the car. Over the next week I am aiming to finish the remaining body work on the left before concentrating on front and rear wings.

I have had a bit of gap between finishing the painting of Michael Schumacher and starting Tissington Church for a client and so I decided to use this time to start a painting of Fernando Alonso in his 2006 Renault from his championship winning year. I have started to paint the rear of the car around the exhaust and body winglets and am hoping to add some more paint during today (Sunday)

First section added around the rear winglet and exhaust.
