Something else keeping me creative during the cold spell has been my new iPad. I had debated buying one for sometime and am so pleased that I have. A friend and fellow artist gave me a few hints and tips on using it to create art work; it is fun and handy to use. Naturally it will never replace using paper/canvas, paints or pencils, but I am able to create little sketches and 'paintings' anywhere, in bed, in front of the tv. When the weather improves I shall take it it out and about with me and use like a sketch book to store drawings of places I visit. Is anyone else experimenting with iPad and tablets?
