IPad Sketches for Hunt 363, Art Link, Photos

I sketched another item for Scavenger Hunt 363 yesterday after the tree and then forgot to post it!  I'm lost in the beautiful mornings doing nothing on the porch, I guess.  I sketched again this morning.  We had .4 of an inch of rain and the morning was nice and cool about 72 degrees F.  I took photos of birds and delayed coming in as long as possible.

From yesterday for Scavenger Hunt 363, number 3 - foot and number 4 - shoe. Done with the app, Brushes.   Gene's foot on a little stool that is not at all crooked as it is molded plastic.  Sigh....

From today number 5, water view.  I was playing with a paint brush for the background and pastel for the rest on the app, ArtRage.  Interesting, but takes longer as I am not used to it.  Getting better, though.  It records your strokes and I will try to get it here for you to see how I do a sketch.  More learning!

I also use SketchBookPro on my iMac.  Nice, too.

Inspiration:

Did you learn how to cook?  Did you learn how to play a musical instrument?  Did you learn how to drive a car?  If you did, I suspect you can learn how to paint.  This article by Richard McKinley, http://mckinleystudio.com/, reinforces this idea in his article, "Artistic Drivers Education".  http://www.artistsnetwork.com/articles/inspiration-creativity/artistic-drivers-education

There are many useful articles on his Pastel Painters Blog, http://www.artistsnetwork.com/category/art-blogs/pastel-pointers-blog.  Most of the articles would apply to other media as well.  He is a very learned instructor.

Birds
There had been a very nice house finch with lots of red on him but he wouldn't come back to the feeder when I was sitting out there.  Then I came in and there he was again.  Too much time spent there and then going through all the photos to find a few nice ones.

I like the Art Rage sketch. And, of course, the photos of the birds! :-)

Thanks, Joanna. I am not as patient as you for the photos of the birds but it seems the new camera is doing well.
