Weekly Photo Challenge DREAMY for the week of 10 October 2014
Digital Art
iPAD PORTRAITS
I recently got an app for my iPad mini for drawing/painting. Of course, I had to get a stylus, as well. It was pretty clumsy going at first, as you can see by the first couple of samples. Even writing with it was tricky. But it became kind of addicting, once I got started. I kept adding layers to the faces on the bottom row (works in progress), trying to blend skin tones with the softer paint brush. I’m hardly a portraitist, but using this app is really helping me improve. Right now I’m just having fun with it. I guess I should mention the app is ArtStudio by Lucky Clan and it’s free!

CELEBRATE Card
The design of this card started with an old letter and a photo I took of dried stems in my winter garden. Atop these collaged images, I digitally added green and blue circles to the composition to give it more color and movement. Suitable for birthday or any time there’s a reason to CELEBRATE!
Black and White Note Cards
CHEERFUL
Feeling it. I had another day off today-it’s pretty good working for the schools-and got so much done. I did mostly digital art on the computer and this is one I finished.
It’s selling on my etsy site, fadedpaisleystudio, as a print and as part of a 4-card set of greeting cards. Hope you’ll take a look.
