I found a picture of a robot the other day. Wasn't looking for one, I just came across it. And once I did, I realized I had to paint it. After a quick drawing, and the comments of all my friends and family that were home at the time, I got down to work. I used my brand new Holbein Watercolors to paint this, and I think they are absolutely sublime. I might not even go back to my old M. Graham's. This is painted on a 12"x12" square sheet and I was thinking I could have two of these standing side by side, so I only used half the paper. Perhaps in the near future, I'll do the other half and then I'll have them both.
I spent probably half an hour on this, and I think it turned out pretty good. I think if I spent another half an hour, I could really bring out some of the darks, and that would set up some of the lights a bit better. And of course a bit of background wouldn't hut.
