What's New

First attempt reminiscent - openness part of creativity

Pen 1 - digital painting 1st try with pen pad

This is more like a fabric than a painting - process than finished piece. I was offered a graphics tablet at about a third of its normal cost and as much as I’ve been proud of using a mouse for my art all this time, I thought I should try it.

What is fascinating to me, is that I am every bit as uncoordinated with the pen pad as I was when I first started painting with a mouse - laughing - thinking - no one could paint with one of these.

I continued because I liked the results.

Whether the graphics tablet becomes my friend or not isn’t the issue - but it is noteworthy that part of being creative is not to close oneself off to things which are new.
