Abstract Train

Train. Acrylic on watercolor paper. 9" x 12". Steve Franklin. 2015.
Here's a loose sheet of watercolor paper that I composed using an airbrush. (Iwata Eclipse HP-CS)
I like this image because it shows motion in it.  It makes me think of Aerosmith's Train Kept A Rollin. (No, I don't limit myself to listening to only one type of music, so please don't type cast me based on what music I listen to.) I enjoy sketching with airbrush, but I still love texture, like the type I can make with brushstrokes and layering thin glazes of different color.  But sometimes, it's better to keep it simple, showing value (blacks & whites) only.
