sketches

Day two hundred and seventy-four: It’s a beautiful Autumn weekend in Minnesota! Inspired by the changing leaves, I wanted to capture a sense of the season. However, I forgot that I wouldn’t have the medium settings I usually use — like watercolor — to create my study. So instead I indulged in some of the SketchBook Pro app’s special brushes on the iPad. The drawing you see here, made with my fingertips, uses several special effects built into the program. I did my best to thwart the repetitive nature of the computerized brush strokes to create the impression of a fine Fall afternoon, entirely from my imagination.
