I’ve got 3 weeks down and 7 to go in the Intro to iPad Art class I’m teaching at the Yellow Barn Studio. We have covered some of the most basic how-to information about the ArtRage app and are now exploring/practicing various tools.
In the last week, at the suggestion of Walt Bartman, I tried simulating a traditional oil painting technique – making a monochrome value-study by rubbing out highlights in a toned canvas and then adding color at the value levels developed in the preliminary study. In the iPad framework, I used the paint roller to make a solid underpainting and then used a soft eraser to ‘rub out’ the lighter passages and then added a few darker areas using the chalk tool to capture the darks.
Here are the two stages of the first work I did with this method, painted from our lovely live model Kuniko. First, the study:
Kuniko in kimono, monochromatic iPad study.
And then the colored version:
Kuniko iPad study, developed with color.

you are a master !
Naw. You should check out some of the other folks out there doing this stuff! I’m going to post a link shortly to a Pinterest page where I’ve been collecting very interesting and adept images by others. You’ll see that I’m just a newbie! How are you doing? I saw the poster you circulated on facebook the other day. Looked spiffy!
Oh, Maureen – That is so neat!
Glad you like! When are you going to start with the iPad??? Come on in – the water’s fine!
