Finger Painting on an ipad

[ladyDeWint]

They combine the bright vivid colours of photography with the stylish flourishes of an accomplished painter.

But at closer inspection theses remarkable images are fact finger paintings drawn directly onto the screen of Apple's i
Pad.
Like a modern Etch-a-Sketch, the paintings are the creation of prominent New York artist David Kassan, 33, each painting of life models is drawn directly onto the iPad screen using his fingers.

Continuing Mr Kassan's work with hyper-realistic paintings, his iPad art is shaped by running your finger along the nine-inch by seven-inch screen of the £429 revolutionary device.

Using a simple £5 'app' called Brushes, Mr Kassan has moved his elegant and expressive painting skills onto the very definition of 21st century technology.

The app allows the user to re-create accurately a paintbrush stroke and even creates bristly lines and broader touches to match an artist's use of a canvas.

I'd love to have a go on that too , I've been painting for years, but on jarrah wood, i don't like canvas, but i mainly paint Aboriginal portraits because of the character in the faces.
I wonder how that would go on an ipad.

I bought a most amazing painting at a boot sale for 12 pence a few years ago, it was of an Aboriginal boy and is painted on like a velvet cloth, I would never get rid of it and it has stayed longer than many more expensive items I have bought, strange what we fall in love with isn't it?
I would really love to see some of your work.

[valk]

That is incredible, I love it, thank you for showing me.

[Barryoneoff]

That's brilliant Cockneyoz. Valk has a bit of painting talent herself.

[cockneyoz]

Thanks Barry, i'll try and delete that later on and put in an aboriganal portrait, i did sell a few but found i got more satisfaction giving them away.

Cockneyoz - that painting is very good - well done.

[cockneyoz]

Hey valk, I've shown you mine, now you show me yours.
