This is the latest lesson for my intermediate watercolor painting class at Riverside Art Center in Wapakoneta, Ohio.
It is painted on 140 lb. Canson cold-pressed watercolor paper. I used Dragon's Blood and Payne's Grey and Sepia for the truck. I mixed my greens with pthalo blue, cadmium yellow and burnt sienna. Burnt sienna and pthalo blue make the most wonderful dark green. I used some raw sienna and yellow ochre with burnt sienna for the ground.
I hope they enjoy painting this - I like it because of the nice shapes in the back of the truck.

You do old vehicles so perfectly, Barb. I love this one and found myself thinking about the days when this was a new truck and all the hope that was purchased with it.
I sometimes think about those things too when I am painting them - it is sort of sad, you know? Here is is derelict old truck with so many memories connected to it.
Thanks for the nice compliment - you are always supportive and I appreciate it.
