The Robot Lives (The last of Seven Pieces: Part 7), and bonus

Last but not least here is part seven of the mini series I completed in July, done in the doodleism style it shows a small Gothic village with rolling hills and futuristic sculptures in the background. This one was inspired by the original doodleism paintings done back in 2004, for instance "Spanky's Fantastic Cathedral". Stained glass has been a reoccurring motif in my work, there are dozens of paintings depicting stained glass in all shapes and sizes.

To paint stained glass I usually start with the outline of the window and the shape of the glass pieces using a light outline. Then I fill in the colours one colour at a time, so you can see the same colour glass in all the windows. As it dries I then do a different colour. When it is all done I'll overlay a darker outline to make the iron parts stand out. I'll also add reflected colour to the objects around the window to provide a glow.

Oh yeah, I found one more piece of paper from the thing I cut up for this series, so here is part eight of the seven part series, it's the last one I promise! It is called "One Less Horizon" because I tried to simplify it a bit compared to usual, there is only one horizon...
