Sara Watson, of the University of Central Lancashire, spray-painted a battered Skoda Fabia to match the car park and entrance to her art studio. And the unique work, created as part of her drawing and image-making course at the university, looks as if the car is see through.

The 22-year-old student had been given the car from a breakers yard, and then she worked for three weeks to ensure that it camouflaged perfectly with its surroundings. Watson worked three weeks painting the car to perfectly blend it into its environment as a project for her drawing and image-making course at the University of Central, Lancashire where she is a student. Her goal was to create the illusion that the car was completely see through.

She added: “People have been stopping in the street to look and coming up and almost bumping into it, so it’s had the desired effect.”
