On Paper, Canvas, and iPad
Since returning to using more of my traditional art media, I’m really enjoying the interplay between working both, off screen and on screen - reminds me of Star trek terminology - such as: catching a pencil sketch with the “Scanner Pro” app, playing about with it in an art app... printing it... then perhaps applying...

A print from a work I began on canvas a little while back. I scanned it into the iPad, and added to it (freehand) using a little art app media in “Procreate”. Then put a little watercolour and gouache onto the print. I knew I wanted to do further work on the print, so I... Continue Reading →
I drew this with an “Artline” pen, (a type of pen I’ve enjoyed using for years) from a photo I took of rocks by a running stream, at a local swimming spot. I brushed over the lines with water - part of the fun is not knowing how the ink will spread. After scanning it in... Continue Reading →
Occasionally, I try out some art apps on my phone. I began this in Autodesk Sketchbook on my Motorola phone. It has a 5 inch screen, just enough room to do a bit of sketching. I draw with my finger, rather than use a stylus. As on the iPad, I can expand the picture area... Continue Reading →

They are mostly imaginary. Sometimes I can see a inkling of a likeness to me, though perhaps a younger and prettier... Continue Reading →
This is painted with my finger, using the acrylic paint, in the "Procreate" app. I prevented myself from tidying up the edges, and smoothing out too many of the lines/brushstrokes. This tendency, to "overdo" and "overwork" a picture to within an inch of it's life, means, I sometimes lose a lot of the liveliness that... Continue Reading →
*I draw and paint, with my finger on the iPad, rather than use a stylus. *Just touch on a pic above to enlarge them all. As in my previous post, I've used the watercolour and coloured pencil in "UBrush Pro". I've updated the app, but have had only time for a quick play with the oil pastel and... Continue Reading →
