Subject

Mersh's black Buick Grand National drawn three-quarters from the front in ink, the bodywork laid in as solid black with the chrome, glass and wheel trims reserved as bare paper.

Composition

The car sits alone on the sheet, nose toward the lower left, with no ground drawn beneath it. Nothing competes with the silhouette, which is what the drawing is for.

Palette

Black ink on white. No colour.

Handling

Brushed black over a light contour, with the highlights left as reserved paper rather than added afterwards — the drawing is made by deciding where not to put ink.

Medium and support

Ink on paper, drawn as artwork for reproduction.

Signature

No signature; the sheet is working artwork.
