Robot Bathtime – or an excuse to try out my new watercolor pencils

[30 Jun 2008 | By | No Comment | 1,097 views ]

I tend to draw on paper, then color in photoshop. And i haven’t done watercolors in years, and my oils/acrylics haven’t seen the light of day since i had a toddler running around the house. But a trip to the art store today led to an impulse purchase of watercolor pencils, and i’ve been playing with the all night. Here’s one of the better attempts!

    Hi Dot, Thanks for being my second ever comment! It’s still a bit of a rush for me! :)
    You are a beautiful drawer, I also have some water color pencils, never quite got the hang of them though. I kept leaving big blotches. You are much better at it!
    Also I’m making your robot cake for my son’s 2nd birthday. Hope I do better this time, I burnt the one I made for his 1st birthday!
    Cheers! Kristie

  • Dot :
