Can’t believe your eyes sometimes.

A British art student made this car ‘vanish’ by painting it to blend in with its background in a car park.

Sara Watson, who is studying drawing at the University of Central Lancashire, took three weeks to transform the car's appearance.

She created the illusion in the car park outside her studio at the university’s campus in Preston.

The car is now being used for advertising by the local recycling firm that donated the vehicle.

"I was experimenting with the whole concept of illusion but needed something a bit more physical to make a real impact,” Watson says.
