Move Over David Hockney

Miss Aster's Asters pushed way over the top with  iPad's Brushes

Miss Aster's Asters; my first
doodle with  iPad Brushes

I had a hell of a time just trying to figure out how to draw a line. It took me some some minutes--felt like an hour. I felt like an old Samsonite Luggage commercial where a baboon is banging a piece of luggage around his cage and it still won't do what he wants it to: open. The I finally got a line. Then I figured out the color--whatever tint  of shade you can dream up. I spent the whole evening  learning the ins and outs of the program. You'll notice I really liked the dot, dot, dot tool and got carried away like some kid. As we were turning out the lights for the night, I spotted a picture that suggested photos could be brought into the mix...first thing this morning I got my new toy and tried that out. I imported the three previous
iPad drawings I did and incorporated them into Miss Aster's space. Then fooled
around some more to blend them in. Of course the picture is way over the top.
But over doing is just the thing to do when learning something new. It gives
you ideas for future figure paintings as Brushes calls it.

Some women my age knit. Some play table games. Many belong to book clubs. I fool around with whatever has to do with making a mark. And there's lots of fun marks to be made-- and  easy sketching practice with no mess to be had with this new age device. It's well worth trading a painting.  The app was about eight dollars--less than a movie--or a good glass of chardonnay. I now have three sketching app. I can probably drop one, but not till I'm as good at it as David Hockney.
