Caterpillar study


Another small painting done in one of the maintenance yards. Most of the excavation is being hauled by these Caterpillar trucks.
The entire time I painted I had a small audience of workers. I guess they couldn't believe anyone would ever want to paint something like this - a truck?
Great information from doing this. All the subtle values and colors - particularly in the shadows - that disappear in a photo. I gave myself an hour and worked with a limited palette of the primaries and viridian.
