I painted this of my husband, Craig, on the iPad while he was watching television. It took me about thirty minutes or less.
I have fallen in love with painting and drawing with the iPad. If any of you know me, this is a startling revelation as I have been quite an avid anti-tech. But after seeing a demonstration at the Business of Art on the advantage of sketching and doing value and color studies with the iPad by painter Rick Graham, I was hooked. Rick tutored me on the iPad after dinner one Sunday and I later took a one-day workshop from him to gain even more expertise. I have had such fun and if nothing else has been gained, I have come to realize how important preliminary sketches are to work out the "bugs" in a painting before committing paint to canvas or paper.
This is a fun one done while visiting my Mother, Arda, in the rehab center. She is always a great model for me.
Craig's dad, Carlyle, wasn't even aware that I was painting this while we played Dominoes.
