Sketching....electronically. Procreate and Photoshop.....

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.....

Ok....I can't help myself.....another app......Frametastic.

I used another app named Frametastic....then I brought the image to Photoshop.

Even I am getting confused at which direction I take....

Having fun with my new app - iColorama

I just got a new app for my iPad.... first of all....I love my new iPad Air!!

The  app is called iColorama...it is fabulous...so much fun to use...so many options.

The first image is the original image taken in Museo Fortuny.

The next three are variations made within different apps.  

1)  Form > mirror  (iColorama)

2)  Brush > Abstract > Circle  (iColorama)

3)  I then took the image into ProCreate and added the additional texture.

Trying out some new apps for Blogging....

Im enjoying some new apps....iColorama  and Frametastic....

It's months before I head back to Venice. 

You can never be too ready...right?

The first image was taken in Basilica di San Marco....after Sunday Mass.

I used this photo and altered it in the apps....

Venice January 2014

~ San Marcuola in Cannaregio ~

The front of San Marcuola...

the part facing the Grand Canal is very different than the back and side.

The abstract layers are the most fascinating to me!
A good friend say that the first image reminds her of a 
Philip Guston painting.....
