A Quote of the Week
.
"For many people creating a home is similar, and just as rewarding,
as designing a large and very expensive work of art."
In my local rag, Manly Daily, today, in the real estate section. Sigh.
En Plein Air - Bilgola Beach
.
Okay, here are my first iPad Mini Plein Air experiments:
 |
| I'm happy with this, considering it was quite cool at the beach today because of the strong wind (it is winter here still, mind you). I found the actual 'painting' process a bit of a challenge mostly due to the bright sun making the iPad app controls somewhat difficult to see (not helped by my cold fingers). I did learn a lot from this though, regarding to the order of layering. . |
 |
| With this one I 'cheated'. I took a photo with the iPad, made a copy of it, and pasted it into Procreate App, to use as a template for my painting on the spot. I can see beneficial uses for this technique, it's all about trying to reach the planned goal for your work. And I do like the sky and the yellowish trees in this. . |
 |
| The same as the one before, processed further, and no cropping. . |
 |
| Here I was trying to capture the surf, and the shift from blue to green of the sea. . |
 |
| One of the quick sketches I made when walking around... (I also sketched a couple of seagulls, and was quite encouraged by the results.) . |
Another Landscape
.
I've been creating these iPad Mini sketches based on my mind landscapes so far.
However, I'm now off to Bilgola Beach with my tablet to try drawing live beach scenes.
I may post some of them later on my return.
