Something for my AP Concentration. The bus that Christopher McCandless stayed in during his great Alaskan adventure. Eventually his body was found it in.

It's about 22"x30", done with weird wood paint. About, say, nine hours?

Yay paints.

Because this one is serious business.

Aw, this is so sad :( The bus is so lonely, and the landscape is so stark... this guy was found in the bus after running around in Alaska?! That's scary! :sprint:

I love the perspective you put on the bus. It's sharp and adds to the composition. Speaking of a bus in the snow....where's the snow on the top of the bus, when it's buried in snow already? ;P

Strange, huh. I used a photo reference (obviously unable to get to Alaska). The only thing I can think of is that the bus, which is metal, heats enough on the top in the sun to get snow off of it. It's kind of a rounded top too, maybe it slid off.

Thanks :3

Hm, very true :D And since I've been to Alaska, I should know that it DOES get pretty warm up there every once in a while. I was walking around in a miniskirt one summer...yep, miniskirts in Alaska, can you believe it? :D

Chris is my hero. I want to do what he did someday, but at least step up my survival skills beforehand. was this on a wood board? it looks amazing, and i bet even better in real life.

I know. I was totally inspired by everything he did. For my AP concentration I illustrated his journey. This was my favorite.

It's actually on a stretched canvas, and yes, it does look better in real life. Doesn't it always?

That's awesome. How come you used wood paints on it?
btw, where are you going to college?

Massart in Boston.

And I only have wood paints at the moment, but I really like how the dry and blend, so I'm pretty partial to them. It's almost exactly like acrylics.

Nice, I'm going to the art institute of boston. Do they blend better than acrylics? Because acrylics really suck for blending.
