Virtual Experiments
I confess I'm swept up in this love affair with ArtRage. Can't stop experimenting and playing. From no drawings in months to five in one morning. What is intriguing are the unexpected results obtained from layering media and color. What's not possible so far is relying on my old strength, my quirky pencil line. This morning I constructed an improvised stylus. Because of the iPad touch screen technology, such a device must be conductive. No problem that aluminum foil wrapped around an unsharpened pencil and protected with tape cannot solve. With said device, I no longer feel like I'm finger painting, although it is true that with pastels, that was exactly what I was doing. Next stop on the learning curve is making notes about what settings on each tool give results I like. Onward and upward with the arts!
Final painting from yesterday: real violets and watercolor brush tool, fully loaded and layered. Art is long and life is short!

I like this. Are you saying that you could not repeat this effect?
