During 2008 and 2009 I had a lot of fun painting trading cards for Upper Deck. If I'm fortunate I'll get the chance to do it all again. I think I did about 80 such cards. You can learn a great deal about painting during such a project. Trying to do more with less was one of the things I was concentrating on with this series, that and trying to work out color.

I like this, fairly bright.
Bright can often be the challenge with gouache. Bright was my goal. Thanks dude.
Top Drawer Steve.
Thanks Steve, I loved this project and hope they decide to do it all again soon.
Upper Deck would be wise to tap more of that! Great solution!
I LIKE.
A detail I like, is the abstract background, which although suggestive of turf on bottom, stands and then fans on top, does not take the focus off the player.
How cool are you! Oil or acrylic oh Masterful One?
This is really cool! I love your lighting and the abstract nature of it! Hope they come calling!
I agree with everyone, but especially Fraser. And Sheila, its Gouache. There Steve, I'm even doing your job for you.
I agree with Sheila, it looks like acrylic or perhaps oil.
I particularly agree with Hans, as it is gouache.
Additionally I agree with Stephen, about many things
-also remember Aunty Pat's Birthday, I have a card in my pocket ready to post.
Thanks every one and Yes Sheila it is indeed gouache and thanks to Hans and Fraser for doing my job for me. Fraser, nice one on mums birthday.
Upper Deck, where are you?
