Green VW Camper Van Sketch

shetch green watercolour web

Continuing with my obsessional VW Camper Van sketching - this is a green one.

What is the fascination with VW Camper Vans? What drives a man to spend his hard earned cash on a car that needs constant attention and coaxing into life in the morning? Is it the idea of freedom? Could I be a secret surfer dude? Probably not as I can surf. Or swim. Is it the nomadic life style or maybe the hippie in me trying to escape? Maybe I like to think of myself as a wananbe cook

On a much simpler level I think I need to build up my arm muscles in a car with no power steering and tighten my leg muscles on unassisted brakes. And I actually like the shape and style of a vehicle that was produced not to be aerodynamic but was designed using the convenience of an existing car and its production line.
