Procreate app.......

Abstracts.....

You're asking what the hell does this have to do with Venezia?

I'm working my way around all the new apps so that I can decide which I'll use when I go to

Venice in the fall.

The last two are made from drawings I just finished of Venice......

Drawing on my iPad.....

I bought my iPad Air about a month ago.

I've gone app happy.

Downloading a variety of photo apps...blogging apps...

and this week moving on to sketching apps.

It has opened an entirely new world for me.

Not only did I have to download about 6 sketching/drawing apps...

but then I had to research styli/styluses.

The main sketching apps that I'm exploring are:

ProCreate......Paper 53 (using the Pencil stylus).....Bamboo Paper

....Sketchbook Pro.

There are pros and cons to all of them.

So I figured I'd work with each of them for awhile and see which I

prefer.   OR which combination of them that I'll work with.

The main thing that I do know....it will be a hell of a lot easier to cart my

iPad Air and stylus...than it was packing and carrying dozens of pens...

pencils...rulers...notepads etc.

Here are my first three sketches:

Venetian Dreams.....

When I'm in Venice I pick up all kinds of ephemera....lace, postcards, letters.
All these treasures end up in my work.....
