Take your #art pen for a walk...

If you recall, the week before last I wrote about the free creative course being run by Kate England at MarmaladeMoon.com
One of the tasks was to write a word and hide it with doodles that ran to the edge of the page (I'm simplifying here, you need to sign up for more info ;)
I can't always hold a pen so though I managed to begin a doodle I wasn't able to finish filling it in...so I did another one with my finger on my iPad using Art Rage. I filled it in with Meritum Paint.

It reminded me of an art activity that I used to do with children - taking your pencil for a walk across the paper, the pencil never leaves the surface and you must keep it moving. Then you fill in the spaces in between with patterns. Some of the results were amazing and it tells you a lot about the person doing the drawing...and there are a variety of adaptations possible.

Anyway - layering was the next step. Photographing the doodle and adding to it, looking at it in different ways... I've kind of gone my own route here because I'm struggling with the heat and energy is almost non-existant.

Coincidentally I'd doodled, photographed and apped sketches earlier last month...so the images with this post are -
The ink pen doodle after apping,
The digital doodle after apping,
And some of the stages along the way including two of my earlier photographed doodles.

#Art Apps that add painted effects

The last few posts I've mentioned my fondness for adding painterly effects to the images I create - most recently with the 'Paint Mee' app.
Another painterly app is 'Auto Painter.' (There's Auto Painter ll now as well) This differs from Paint Mee and Artisita Oil in that there are no adjustments possible. These latter two apps let you tweak everything from brush size to colour palette etc. With Auto Painter there are four different filters and that's it. Apart from the option to mask the area you want the most detail added to, but I've not noticed this making much difference really...

Auto Painter one has four filters - Aquarell, Benson, Cezanne, and Van Gogh.
I'm posting this from my phone because I'm in bed, (had a bad week pain and fatigue wise this week.) so I don't know what order the app will post the images in. What I'm aiming for is -

1: The original photograph of a tree (taken with the iPhone 4S) which I then tweaked in Camera+ and turned into a painted version with Paint Mee.
2: The paint Mee version
3: Auto Painter Aquarell
4: Auto Painter Benson
5: Auto Painter Cezanne 6: Auto Painter Van Gogh (I've never seen this filter produce anything I like.)
7,8,9: Are screen shots from the app.

34/30 #iPhoneArt

rest...

Rest
...hopefully I'll be well enough etc to have changed this or added some more. As well as wishing my American friends a Happy Independence day, it's also time to wish this blog a happy birthday. It's one year old today :) I'll check my google stats (I hope) and see how many lovely peeps have peeped at my creations. 

Thank you. Your feedback makes a lot of difference and keeps me going.

Sorry -  I wanted to be more organised about apps used and give more information but I've created a folder of stuff in something of a frenzy and I can't recall what I did to/with what.
