A while ago, I came across an old photo of Nik's parents on a motorcycle.

I always liked that photo and thought that it would make a great reference for a painting.

The time has come to make it.

I enlarged the photo to the dimensions of the chosen canvas and started tracing it but very quickly realized that the tracing will not give me enough details to do the painting that I had in mind, so, I opted to enlarge the photo on a photo paper which gave me the right enlargement without losing any details and this photo was mounted on the canvas, thus giving me a detailed underpainting base.

Once it was sealed and dried, I started to paint using oil paints in sepia tones.
