Chevrolet Corvette

The Corvette is America's foremost exotic sports car with a very long history. I found this view depicts the Corvette best. This entry of automobile art portrays the Corvette in all its glory as an awesome, stand alone, second to none, king of the road with drop dead gorgeous looks. The Corvette has grown up from the days of sand, beach, and fun to be one of the most technologically advanced performance automobiles in America.

I chose the pewter color for this watercolor painting, which compliments a very simple, yet effective background to enhance the automobile. Reflections, shadows, and contrasting lighting are the key ingredients for the automotive artist and they certainly play a role in presenting this image in its best light.

The 1998 Corvette is the second year of the current C-5 series. The Corvette was an automobile that has evolved with the times. The C-1 and C-2 were cars of the fifties and sixties in the design aspect. Other exotic automobiles would position themselves as ahead of their time in appearance. The Corvette has matured from a fun in the sun and beach car to a world class, sophisticated, tech advanced and race dominate automobile. It is a serious contender against the formidable Ferrari, and Lamborghini entries as an exotic performance car with sex appeal. This automobile art painting depicts the C-5 series, from the front angle, as the stand alone, ready to go, king of the road. It is the American Road Machine.
