MY FIANCEE'S DIGI-PAINTINGS
LIANA MURRAY's WORK
Because I've just posted a load of my digital paintings, done on my iPad Pro, I thought I'd show you my Fiancee's work done on her Samsung TAB-S3. As you will soon discover, there's no difference in the quality of work which can be achieved on either tablet. The only real difference is that I can create a bigger "canvas" because of the higher resolution of the iPad Pro.
Liana normally paints acrylics but she's taken to digital better than me!

DIGITAL - ARTRAGE ON IPAD PRO. After buying an iPad Pro 12.9" tablet, I was soon downloading all the various painting apps and trying to get to grips with their complex array of tools. It was pretty confusing and eventually, I settled with ArtRage because it is very simple and intuitive. I have recently purchased Affinity Photo and hope to master its complexities, but for now, ArtRage is the paintbox of choice.
If you've never tried Digital Painting, you really should give it a go. I hear many people say "Yes, but it's not real art is it"? Well I'm not getting into that debate - all I will say that even if you don't approve of it for a final painting, it is absolutely superb as a Sketch Book for producing full paintings at a later day. You can take your tablet with you wherever you go and your work is usually automatically uploaded onto the iCloud and available to you wherever you are in the world.
I am lucky enough to own an Apple iPad Pro 12.9 with an Apple Pencil, but you can use ArtRage on virtually any tablet. My wife has a Samsung TAB-S3 which comes with a SUPERB pencil which doesn't even need charging!!

MY GIRLS
20"x 16" ACRYLIC. These 2 paintings were specifically painted to be hung in the conservatory - just something different to the boring landscapes i normally paint. I didn't take very good photos of them unfortunately, so I've included a photo with them in-situ to give a better idea of how they look :-)

VINTAGE CAMERAS
8"x 8" ACRYLIC. I've been interested in cameras for as long as I can remember! And so I decided to paint some of the cameras from my past. Really love these pics and they hang in my hallway.

OOOPSS!!
Ooops! I've not posted on here for AGES!! My bad! The fact is, I bought an iPad Pro and started experimenting with Digital Painting and as a result, I've not really done much "normal" painting. I will post some of my digital work later, because I do believe that it's every bit as valid as oils, watercolours, etc, when it comes to learning to sketch and paint.

Our Own Art-Club!
Each Friday we go to the local Art-Club in Horwich. It's a thriving club with a broad range of people of all ages and skill-levels. Apart from the regular painting sessions, we have many professional artists visiting us to demonstrate their skills and to run workshops.
But sometimes, it's nice when just a few friends get together mid-week too, and so here we are in Simon's "studio", benefitting from the skill and experience of his father, Brian Waddington. It looks a bit cramped in there, but we were just huddled together to fit in the photo frame :-)
And you can drink beer in this club! :-)
