Send me your favourite image of your car!

I am setting up a new little business at the moment making watercolour canvases. It will be on Etsy. I will be converting photos of people, portraits, pets, hobbies, weddings etc in watercolour prints. Then printing and mounting on frames. There is a few people doing it on Etsy but none who do the artwork and print.

I am creating examples of imagery for the shop at the moment. So if anyone has a really cool image of their car then post it up here and I'll see what I can do. It would help me out and you get a watercolour image of your car for naff!!

Nice, do you have the original? A larger file size?

Send them to this email address.

It's funny because I have never had issues with posting images on here.

Slater - 28/9/20 at 10:29 PM

Just sent my pic via e-mail, it's 16MB so hopefully will get through the ether to you.

Here are some of the images you guys sent me. Interesting backgrounds work out better it seems. And with drivers

peter030371 - 30/9/20 at 12:06 PM

I've just sent you a few 'action' shots from Brands Hatch as an alternative to try

steve m - 30/9/20 at 02:51 PM

I like all three, but the best car, one is mine!

HowardB - 30/9/20 at 07:16 PM

I like mine.. it looks great .... gotta say I love the frog!

Is the picture something that I can buy?

When I eventually get our Etsy Shop up and running the idea is that you can buy 'just the image'. Which will probably be about £17. Don't forget this is a bespoke piece of artwork that is a one of a kind. However there are probably 5 to 10 sellers on Etsy doing this. However I have the facilities to print and mount wrapped canvasses. So you can have your image turned into a water colour painting and printed on canvas then posted direct to you.

I asked you guys because I wanted a 'realistic' example of what sort of images I might receive from the general public.

I will of course email high resolution artwork to anyone who wants one free of charge!!!! If you want printed canvas then you'll have to wait for the shop. Possibly Etsy will let me have a discount code which I'll post up here if possible.

Kev the Tr7 pic has worked out really well but I am struggling to load it if you can publish it please do!
Much appreciated

I'd like a high res copy of the image and feel that a wrapped canvas would be an excellent thing, is it canvas or vinyl?

Happy to wait for the shop on Etsy and of course looking forward to supporting a fellow LCB,...

steve m - 1/10/20 at 07:10 AM

I too, would like a high res of my car emailed please,
and will also buy a canvas, once your printing

I have shown the Tr7 pics to some mates and they are all suitably impressed and looks like there’s a small queue forming 👍
