I took digital photos of the large work I did with oil bars (Winsor & Newton) onto paper (Fabriano Accademica) last week and downloaded one into a free Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet. I’m starting to find it quite useful to download artwork in this way, to have a play without having to get out loads of materials and risk spoiling the original. I started drawing with a fine white line, to see what would happen, with no planning and a figure has started to emerge. I wonder where this will take me?
A lot of my artwork is available on my Artfinder gallery. If you’d like to have a look, please click on the image below or the Artfinder link at the top right of this page.
Great to see the figure coming out over the background. I like playing around with drawing on the computer. Somehow it never seems quite the same as ‘real’ drawing, but that doesn’t stop me using it. It somehow still surprises me when l see purely digital pieces printed and in a gallery. Seems like cheating. 😅
Yes, I know what you mean. It’s an interesting tool.
Primitive drawing with modern tools.
But less chance of finding this in 50K years than if you had painted in ochre deep in a cave, sadly.
I wish I could find some ochre around here, plenty of caves….
