I'm an aspiring art student from Europe, and it's also fantastic to see not only your immaculate capturing of space and place, but also the portrayal and documentation of everyday American history, which seems both familiar and foreign.

More than a decade ago me and my family visited NYC, a trip we all wanted to do for a long time. The first thing I remember seeing when I was right in the city was the Wienermobile, near Times Square (close to the hotel we stayed in). Never saw one before, but since that day I saw a few here in Spain and every single time it makes me think of that family trip and brings me good memories.

That's what I love about Gouache: soft colors like watercolor but you can cover with light colors as if they're acrylic. Thank you for the content, your videos are inspiring for me! 🥰

Amazing how you caught that shiny surface! I also learned another thing from your videos: You don't have to go to faraway places to get good objects to paint. It's not the object, it's what you make out of it. Thanks so much for being one of my main inspirations on KZfaq!

For those of us who have fond mid-20th c. childhood memories (maybe you got to see this in a parade or grand opening event), this painting captures a little bit of what it was like, when packaged fun foods were favorite summertime treats, and everything seemed new, shiny, and larger than life. (One of our team still pines for Space Food Sticks and won't stop mentioning them.) Speaking of shiny, those reflections are just perfect!

This is so funny and memorable! Thanks for showing it to us. Regarding painting in museums. I live in 🇩🇪. Many museums offer portable seats and even drawing boards to draw. Some Museums have restrictions to paint with wet media -and only allow dry media like pencils. These measures have appeared after the attacks on paintings by activists here in Europe. Still, I find it pretty cool that they offer portable seats and drawing boards. ✏️📝

Thanks for the great demo! I've twice sketched the weinermobile in the wild! Though I grew up 50 miles north of Detroit, I never went to the Henry Ford Museum. I'm surprised they let you paint in the museum. All the museums I've been in have "pencil only", most say so on their website. Even the Museum of Flight here in Seattle recently told me they want pencil only, though they know I've sketched there in ink and watercolor for years. I'm grumpy about it.

I've sketched in museums many times. In some cases, my bags are searched as I enter and no one has ever mentioned my sketching supplies. In some cases, as I am standing and sketching, museum workers have brought me a stool! I do sometimes ask, and sometimes I don't, depending on the location. In general I think museums are probably used to people coming in and sketching. However, I usually do not bring a water container and tube paints to indoor public spaces, out of paranoia for my clumsiness, but I should practice more at places I know it'd be okay if something went catastrophically wrong, to gain confidence. Generally I bring my pan watercolors and waterbrush along with colored pencils, even though waterbrushes are definitely not my preferred way of working.

Do you have ground under paint on this painting? It looks like just the white of the paper. I see in your other videos you sometimes use red or paint a ground first. So why not in this case?

The painting looks great James, but there is one thing I can't skip, the left side red oblong around the Oscar Mayer logo do not curve as it did in some of your shot of this subject, thus it ruins the perspective IMO.
