Re: Chinaman

Kudos to everybody,
Chain i like what you did and that opaque strip at the bottom is a nice touch
Ikroll, unusual!... even triad'ish a bit, i like it
I thought of doing a bamboo'ish background, but alas time is against me today,

Re: Chinaman

Thanks Gary. Been playing with metallic looks for photos and just applied what I've learned to get it to a watercolor.

Re: Chinaman

Fran- I like the soft look of your edges, almost like he's coming out of a mist

Vitaly- excellent watercolor as always!
I just was wondering, is the Dr in Dron because you are a doctor?

Re: Chinaman

I do like that result Alan (DAP?). Also your result Gouache too rembrant. Thought I would blend a few of my past binges together into this one result.
