On Paper, Canvas, and iPad
When you begin a drawing or painting, you often have a particular focus point; a place where you want the viewer's eye to be primarily drawn. In this slide show, you can see three artworks I drew in "Art Set Pro" which I had completed, but thought I'd try out a few cropping ideas. This... Continue Reading →
I used charcoal, oil pastel and smudge tools in the Art Set Pro app, and used a brown textured paper in the app. I drew this in the "Sketch Block" app, using the pencil and watercolour. An excellent feature of this app, is you can replay your drawing process and if you wish make a recording... 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 →

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 →
