Robot Paintings

Robot…. Robot Rock…

Sorry… I had to. I do love me some Daft Punk. I still haven’t gotten over their breakup.

Anyway… My painting skills are an abomination unto art. That being said, it doesn’t stop me from trying on occasion. I actually really enjoy doing the “group painting nights”.

If you’ve never done these… Everyone gets drunk and attempts to follow along with what the instructor is telling you to do. The results are always entertaining.

Anyway, I found an “at home” kit. The wife and I decided to try it. This was the result:

These are fun and although they will never be considered “Fine Art” they definitely were “Fun Art.” It was good enough that they’re hanging on our walls. :)

The kit itself was… Meh. We ended up going out and buying different paint. The stuff it came with was very watery and didn’t want to stick to the canvas.

I think, even if you know you’re going to suck at something, it’s important to try it. The older we get the more pressure there is to be “good.” I find that there’s great joy in the discovery process that comes from learning something new.

See ya’ later fellow Makerinator!
