Version 6: Modern Race Cars

Complex paintwork

Unlike single-colored sports cars or earlier race cars that competed in motorsport in "only" one shade, today's race cars are often major works of art. The elaborate wraps or paintwork of the originals mean significantly more intensive work for Uli Ehret. Both for the sketch and when coloring. Sponsor lettering and design elements must fit into every reflection and every lighting effect.

This is why these watercolors are more expensive than a "normally painted sports car", at 1390 euros in the 50 x 40 cm format and 1890 euros for the large 60 x 54 cm format.

Version 7

Car & Landscape

Uli paints your vehicle in a format of approximately 64 x 50 cm. You would also like a scenic or architectural background to be depicted. A city, a racetrack, forests, or other elements that you particularly like. Unframed, the price for this is between 1890 and 2890 euros, depending on the complexity of the background.

Version 9: original and unique print

Large unique pieces

Many customers like a really large painting. The solution is then a unique print on canvas in formats of 150, 180, 200 or 240 cm wide. The maximum width for a stretcher frame is 300 cm and the maximum height 120 cm - depending on the delivery options to your destination. This stretcher frame is ready to hang - and protected against UV light. 

Before this unique piece is produced and signed, a watercolor is created. You will receive this original watercolor in addition. Thus, you can, for example, with a budget of about 2500 to 3000 euros, receive a unique print in the format of 160 x 120 cm and the original in the format of 64 x 50 cm. The version of the unframed original would be Top Version 6 or 7 in this price example.

From Sketch to Finished Artwork

Step 1

Your expectations

Everything begins with a blank sheet of watercolor paper. What are your ideas and wishes? Please send us your ideas and photos of your car by email. Uli will reply within a few hours or days.

Step 2

The sketch

The sketch will be sent to you via email so you can check if it matches your ideas. Once you give the O.K., Uli will begin with the coloring.

Step 3

The color scheme

Layer after layer of paint is added. This is brought to life here, especially on the front fender and side door of the Porsche 911 Speedster, with its numerous reflections in fascinating  shades of red, in magenta and even orange layers. In some places, there are up to fifteen layers of paint that ultimately make the finish shine, just like in real life. 

Step 4

Perfection in Motion

The final result of the multi-day watercolor painting is visually outstanding, especially in the 64 x 50 cm size. The moving elements, the rims, can be reproduced exactly like the original—and yet they move. The larger the watercolor format, the more excellent the details. This also explains the price differences.

Step 5

The background

The road, the landscape and the sky are already visible in the pencil sketch. Of course, the beauty of a summer day in the Odenwald, as here around the yellow Mini Cooper, only truly comes to light when it is painted in watercolor.
