Default Looking for a picture to paint...

Looking for a picture of the Corvette to paint. I need something high resolution so I can zoom in for detail and also needs to be an overall good picture (nice backdrop, lighting, etc). Open to any color car but will say some colors are harder than others.

I'd prefer to use one that you took so I know its okay to use via the person who took it.



Thanks

As a fellow (albeit amateur) artist, I can't wait to see the results!

Looks like you have plenty already but I'll throw mine in the hat. This picture was taken along Highway 14 in Southwest WA - that's the Columbia River in the background.

Got a grid laid out and at lunch today had some time to start the rough sketch

What medium will you be using? I'm assuming oils or acrylic given that you have it laid out on canvas, but one never knows.
