When the job looks right, there is nothing more satisfying than lifting that mask, ...nothing more devastating when its wrong!

   But that is the thrill of airbrushing, its like chess, you have to think way ahead to get the right results.

   This feature was a consignment for the Qld. Ferrari and Maserati Ball and sold at auction.

   It took several weeks and was quite large at 1.5m wide. Done on canvas, it had to be stretched over particle board for support, then placed on a wooden stretcher when finished. To achieve the rich Ferrari red I used three reds plus a black and white to shade, this gave it that rich red Ferrari look.
