On Paper, Canvas, and iPad
*Drew this with my finger, in the Art Set Pro app. Available as a print, and on various items in my Red Bubble shop, here. During this past year or so, (2014/2015) of iPad painting and drawing, I haven't missed doing my art in my usual way, holding onto a: brush, pastel, pen or pencil. Which seems... Continue Reading →
This is a scanned in pencil drawing, and then I took it into the Art Set Pro app, used the smudge tools and added some sepia tones. It’s a page from my handmade book called, “Mother as Writer”. When the kids were little, I spent many a day grabbing for a pen or pencil amid:... Continue Reading →
Drawn with my finger in the Art Set Pro app. Since I began drawing and painting on my iPad, many people have misunderstood, what I'm doing.

I always like to show my poems with an illustration..to my thinking I'm more skilled in... Continue Reading →
Added some colour freehand on the iPad, to a scanned in pencil drawing. An illustration for my “Mother as Writer” book. Just touch on a picture to view the gallery carousel. These everyday scenes I think are quite worthy of recording - both in words and pictures. I did the haiku in watercolour and pencil.... Continue Reading →
The charcoal in "Art Set Pro" is lovely to use. I've tried charcoal in other art apps, but they just haven't quite got that chalky rich quality I want. *Now, in 2019, I’ve found the “Procreate” app, also has a great range of natural look and “feel” charcoals. The drawings below, I drew in the... Continue Reading →
