Triumph Bonneville Sketch by Sophie Varela

Some may argue that motorcycles, custom or otherwise are not art. That may be the case, but motorcycles are certainly a great topic for art, be it a  drawing, painting or photo. I have recently decorated my new home and have been looking for something to put up on the walls and what better than a picture of my all time favourite motorcycle, The Triumph Twin.

Progress photos, water-colour on paper
