October 2024 Updates

 Since the last posting, we had a great trip to Greece and Turkey where I took many photos and painted a few sites.  

I continue with my James Julier landscape tutorials and learn something new about painting with Procreate from each.  I highly recommend the fellow!  I typically use the Artstudio Pro app for portrait and figurative painting on the iPad because that's what I learned first.  I like both apps and often send the final products to my models as they can print them out or not. I miss my portrait model group but I still have my ADSO nude models once a month. 

 I am always amazed at how much I have done in the past 6 months....so glad these 48 paintings are not stacked up in the studio. 

And now we are getting ready for a great trip to Portugal so I need to update before too much time passes!

March 2024 and time to update!

The last update of this blog was Nov. 2023 just before our month-long adventure to SE Asia and Christmas with our son and daughter-in-law.  I have only painted digital pics since then and continue to love the medium. It is incredibly portable and I still love my tutorials with James Julier. I have cleaned up my studio in case we get to move but am feeling the urge to do one more oil painting...we will see...  In the mean time we are preparing for a month in Greece, etc so I am sure I will take a few more reference photos.
