Ipad Watercolors On the Road

Here are a few 'watercolors' I did recently on the ipad using the 'Paper by 53 app." As it turns out, painting on the ipad with this app is really fun, and has nice results. I did some of these sketches while in the car. This is a great way to do sketching on the go!








You can read more about my adventure with ipad sketching in this earlier post and see more of my digital sketching if you are interested. Happy New Year to my Paint Party Friday visitors! Thanks so much for stopping by.

    Hi Debbie. Great sketching on the Ipad. I'll have to look into this. I've never d/l anything on my Ipad except a game. Nice job. Happy New Year and PPF!

    These are wonderful! Do you use a stylus, or just a fingertip?

    Happy Paint Party Friday!

      I have a stylus, although I think I need to research it more, and find a better one. Details are difficult with a foam tip.

    Beautiful shades that vary. They feel like blankets of gray and green. I don't have any art apps and I'm super excited about what you've achieved with an app--I've got to check it out! :)

    Another friend just started using this app. It really does simulate watercolor well. I love this painting, and it's the perfect way to be able to paint when you can't actually paint.

    You have definitely got control of your app on the ipad, me...I still need to practice on it. I have the same programme, but somehow it won't cooperate yet! lol. Have a great weekend.

    I'll have to check out the link because I have NO idea what you did. The "watercolors" are gorgeous. Can you print them off or is this a one-time viewing?

    I have been resisting the digital art but the ipad drawings seem to be really popular nowadays. I like the transparency of your work, especially of the tree. Really good sketches.

      I've been resisting it too, but it is fun. I need paper, paint, and mess to be completely happy, though!

    There is no excuse now for not doing some kind of Art even when busy. :) Fun work. Nice to know you still need the paper and stuff in hand to be totally happy. I fear a world of only Digital stuff. :)

    Debbie, I liked what you did with this so much I bought the app. But how do you SAVE the paintings? I can't find where to do that!! Thanks. Lynn

      Hi Lynn, The drawings save automatically in the different 'books' unless you delete them. To get them out of Paper to somewhere else, you have to use the "share" feature, which you can only use when you are out of the actual drawing screen -- does that make sense? It gives you various options for sharing. I've been choosing "camera roll" and then using an app called "Photo Toaster" to edit and upload to my Flickr account. Good luck!

    These are lovely. I was surprised that they were done on an ipad. I particularly like the "On The Road" one. Gillian.
