Landscapes are painful to paint for me sometimes and this mountain felt nearly insurmountable as I was working on it. This would be the “ebb” experience I just referred to above. While it has been a blast painting on the iPad using ArtRage, sometimes I run into a little trouble. “Blue Mountain” digital painting done in ArtRage Painting On The iPad Using ArtRage – It May Be Digital But That Doesn’t Mean It’s Easy Both are worth checking out if you are a traditional painter who wants to try out a natural digital painting program. The “Lite” version is under $30 if you want to dip your toes in. It has incredible features and a lot of flexibility. This one was definitely a “ flow” experience for me!įYI: ArtRage offers two desktop versions as well. All artists go through ebbs and flows when painting. The study above was one of my favorite paintings so far simply because it was really fun to do and felt effortless. The app and the iPad are TSA approved, so no worries there! Plus, you don’t have to worry about getting paint on the guy sitting next to you when you’re painting on the iPad. If I’m traveling for work and am stuck in an airport, I can get some time in learning from artists I admire. My study after John Singer Sargent’s self-portrait from 1906 Learning From A Master On The GoĪnother thing that I love about using ArtRage is being able to do studies from masters like John Singer Sargent anywhere I want. It just needs to have the impression of what is being represented and the correct values.
In the end it doesn’t have to be perfect. I wasn’t too excited about doing it because it was so intricate, so I decided to simply swirl some paint on with the brush and then blend it out a bit. The last thing I painted in this piece was the foil on the book spine. I kept the blending and brush strokes loose to keep a sense of energy in the artwork. I do this in ArtRage with a small sized knife tool or the brush tool with loading set to zero. In the completed painting above, you can see where I spent quite a bit of time blending the the colors. However, I’ve been challenging myself to get some of these projects completed so I can upload them to Fine Art America to be made available as prints. I still think of the paintings I do digitally as “not real” so I have less investment in completing them.

I’m happy with how this turned out, but I was unsure if I was going to take the time to actually finish this painting on the iPad Pro or not.
