I have drawn and painted quite a few "faces" in recent weeks. I used a range of media provided, in these amazing art apps. They look much like works I do on paper and canvas. It's so handy drawing and and painting this way. No set up of materials; I just flip open the iPad lid,... Continue Reading →
It's often fun to draw and paint quickly; and a necessity when I was busy with little kids! A quick zap about in the "Zen Brush" app - using the rich black ink . *I use my finger, rather than a stylus. Then, took the pic into "Bamboo Paper" for a wash of colour. Followed... Continue Reading →
A bit more about the "Art Set Pro" app. This past week I tried out more of the media in the "Art Set Pro" app. I've spent a while using the paints and oil pastels and a bit of crayon, pencil.... in this app; but I've hardly (mainly due to lack of time) "touched" on... Continue Reading →

Though I... Continue Reading →
*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 →
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. Firstly, to put my small murmuring in context: I know it's a blessing and a privilege to have access to these new technologies. For which I'm thankful. For me,... Continue Reading →
Just a play around in the Art Set Pro app. I drew these during my youngest son's school holidays. My routine was more relaxed; no tight schedules. I think it shows in these drawings. I love that I can just flip open my iPad and dip quickly into lots of different media. No mess or... Continue Reading →
