I thought doing a Mondrian would test my skills. I researched several Mondrian paintings on the internet to see which colors he typically used. Believe it or not I started out the painting with a black background. I then blocked in the colors leaving a ragged black line between them and then, using a small, clear ruler I drew in thicker black lines over the ragged ones. I had to do a bit of touch up in the corners of the colors. If you look closely, you can see I left some imperfections in the lines. Also, I discovered that when you paint large sections of color, you have to go over the area several times in order to achieve a smooth, even color. If you don&#8217;t, you can see the brush strokes. Look closely and you&#8217;ll see some blotches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s difficult to draw straight lines in Brushes on the Touch.
