This is the fifth art application I have worked with on my iPad. ArtStudio App has more and varied tools and nuances of any App I have worked with before and I have not discovered all of them, yet. With this applicaion you can paint almost any image you care to with the many tools that give you texture and more. In this first 'made up' vase I was fascinated with the tube icon. After deciding on a color and width and translucency you start making marks and lines appear with a highlight or lighter color down the center of the line. It looks like you have squirted out a line of paint from a tube and have a strong highlight.
In my second picture I started using a few
of the other tools. The drawing tool has 5
different variations and here I have used two of them. The simple line variation has width as well as
translucency and opaque abilities. These are the only way to blend colors. There is a smudge tool but it seems to just move one color in one direction into another color, not really blending. Another of the drawing tool variations is multiple dots which I used in purple. The tool creates stripes, any width you set up but I was taken with the dots.
Choose a format and size before you begin.
I used two layers for this palm tree view. For the first layer with a blue sky (really bright and intense in Palm Springs where I took a photo of this scene) I used the spray paint tool.....wide and only slightly opaque. I knew I would be erasing to keep these tall trunks narrow and didn't want to keep replacing the sky. I went back to the simple line drawing tool for the palms. Colors seem to have greater contrast on the iPad screen than here on the computer.
Again using one layer for a background I used the paint brush tool with quite a translucent setting and kept changing colors. I was after a soft paint looking background. On the next layer I used the drawing tool for the bowl and tulips.
All the vases of flowers I'm showing are made up. I need to copy an image or photograph to put an App to a test of what I can do. Otherwise one can just play and have fun seeing what can happen with any of the tools on each App.
This vase was copied from a picture of a silver pitcher. I wasn't able, through color, to indicate metal on my first trial. I always marveled at the Flemish and Dutch still-life paintings where metal, glass, and textiles were so beautifully rendered. To create metal I will need to spend a lot more time working on exact lights and darks with crisp lines and I think it is possible. However I still have a problem putting down a single line exactly where I want it. This picture, again used two layers.
This is all very interesting. It makes me think about getting started with these tools. I think the last painting has a lot of subtlety that I would not expect from a computer painting tool.
ReplyDeleteI really like ArtStudio. I take a picture of my work with the iPad camera, then import it into ArtStudio and play around with it. Helps to see what will look good on the piece.
