Heanor iPad drawings - 12th February 2011
iPad Brushes field study test - Springtime for Heanor - year 5 The other week I entered the fifth year of this project-within-a-project, still learning how to deal with 'site', still learning how to draw and paint a landscape. The weather being good, almost spring-like, I took the iPad for the first time, to draw that hill from Langley Mill station below. Fine weather, but I arrived as a big dark cloud lumbered overhead, and within minutes I had to shelter from rain and hail. But I spent a couple of hours there sketching, and managed to get three sketches done and several photos. To be honest it was a struggle peering against a strong low sun, I could hardly see the iPad screen, never mind what colours I was using. And blimey, not being spring yet, it was colder than I anticipated! http://mikgodley.wordpress.com/ http://www.artreview.com/profile/MikGodley http://www.saatchionline.com/MikGodley If you want to look for more info about iPad drawing, I started a blog for my students over the summer - it's built up quite a lot of stuff on it now, with videos, demonstrations, posts about different apps and different artists: - http://ipadartschool.blogspot.com/ Cheers, Mik
