I enjoyed working on the first painting of this tractor so I decided to do another one. The tractor appears smaller in this one because I included more of the landscape. I used a combination of thin washes of acrylic for the sky and the trees in the distance. I saved the thicker, more opaque paint for the tractor and the foreground areas.

I recently visited Knox Farms and I noticed this tractor was parked in the middle of the field, as if someone wanted to show it off. I took advantage of this opportunity and took a few pictures of it from various angles; I love it when people set up scenes for me to paint. Mechanical objects have a variety of interesting shapes, colors, and textures to paint, so they make good subject matter.
