I had some struggles figuring out what color to paint my HiROo robot. His name is Dewy, and he’s a librarian robot the HiROo built to retrieve and care for the collection of originals. I started painting him yellow and purple at the art group meeting, but it did not feel right. So I got home, sanded it, and toned the cut-out with a purple-tinted glaze.
