WX is for What neXt

Its been a busy and delicious few days - lots to be thankful for this year - but little time for art.

This piece started in Art Rage on my phone and moved into Photoshop for a (photo) finish.

Its just something so that I will not feel guilty about not posting anything, and the colors are nice.

U is for Undo

One of the reasons I became completely enamored with creating digital art is the UNDO button.

Before I had the ability to step back in time and remove or rethink, my art process was a constant interior battle between what I envisioned with what actually appeared. Then  I began learning to use CorelDraw.

I was so engrossed in the process of learning this new and fascinating skill that it began to color my non-digital life. I recall planting flowers in my garden, placing one in the wrong location and thinking I could simply click and start again.

Now years have passed and I have mastered many new digital art tools, but the pleasure of being able to step back and do it again, without ruining the whole, or figuring out how to work the error into the finished piece has never dimmed. I am not perfect - but the undo buttom helps me create better work.

Now if only it worked on other aspects of reality ...

This little floral was created in Art Rage using several different brushes to create the different shapes and lines.

H is for "Highly Realistic" (or maybe hope)

I created this image with the Oil tools and brushes in Art Rage.

After downloading and playing with the free Art Rage Oils app, I invested $4.99 to purchase the full program. This is clearly the premier painting program available for Android users, described as "natural painting software." In my opinion, it totally lives up to its promise of "highly realistic" painting tools.

To create this sunset (sunrise?), I played with various brush choices and of course, colors. I loved the way this tool allows me to blend colors, choose hues and tints within the color menu, highlight parts with thin and delicate overlays, scratch through the paint with a thin brush, and all in all - have a very satisfying and higlly realistic painting experience.

Just what I needed on this horrific election day - here's hoping for a happy outcome - for all of us.
