McLaren MP4/6 1991 Ayrton Senna

This image shows a realistic, handmade painting using watercolors and colored pencils on a 42x30cm passepartout of a classic Formula 1 car, the 1991 McLaren MP4/6, famous for being driven by Ayrton Senna, who appears in the image wearing his iconic yellow helmet. The perspective is a slightly diagonal frontal view from above, capturing the car's aerodynamics. Artistic style: The level of detail is high, with precise proportions, well-defined textures, and colors faithful to the McLaren F1. Although the aim is for a faithful representation, the artist's hand is evident in the strokes, manual shading, and expressive nuances, giving it the character of an illustration rather than pure photorealism. Shadows and volumes are achieved with dense lines and manual gradients that add depth. Reflections: Simulated with light-colored areas, especially on the white bodywork and helmet. The angled perspective, the strong shading on the wheels, and the car's position convey speed and power.
