Procreate app on iPad

Here's another painting I did using the Procreate App on the iPad. I sat on the couch with my reference photo on my iPhone, painting on my iPad. No mess, no set up, no clean up time. While I certainly enjoy actual paints, there is a great appeal to the ease of whipping out the iPad and painting away. I mentioned a while back having an interest in purchasing a pochade box for painting on the go. I think I may have found the perfect pochade, in a completely unexpected package with a shiny Apple on the back.

My First iPad Painting!

Apple on Apple

I got an iPad for my birthday this year :D and have been searching for a good painting app. After reading a lot of reviews, I downloaded Procreate a few days ago and painted this apple last night. It was a ton of fun to use and is my reining favorite!

The owner of Duke and Jigsaw is a big time Steelers fan, drives a big red truck and is generally wearing something in red, hence the color scheme here.

Casons Chapel at Callaway Gardens

I took a photo of this little chapel a couple of years ago while visiting Callaway Gardens. I've been wanting to paint it for a long time and here it finally is. It has the loveliest stained glass!

This is another submission for Mosaic Medley. I'm not quite as happy with the way this one turned out. There's too much going on in this one and the ink faded more than I'd like when I went over it with the watercolors. Oh well, I had fun with it and I like the Polaroid feel these little paintings have.

Mosaic Medley Challenge #2 - Water

These are submissions for the Mosaic Medley art challenge. I ordered some 4x4 canvases which didn't arrive in time so I was forced to do something different and am glad I did. It was fun to use these materials again. I have one more which I'm hoping to complete...we'll see how that goes.

This month's Virtual Paintout challenge was in Romania. I just love this challenge and had so much fun touring the area. There was so much to choose from it was hard to settle on one place to paint. I may just have to paint another, we'll see how ambitious I feel after I get my Mosaic Medley submission done.

This is my first Aceo painting. I had a lot of fun with it and am thinking of doing a series of nine of these and framing them together.
