It&#8217;s pretty primitive, but it does capture the idea of the scene. I was trying to get the basic shapes, colors and tonalities. What caught my eye were the interesting shadows of the limbs cast on the lawn and the daffodils. I had two difficulties &#8211; keeping an eye on the time and seeing the iPod&#8217;s screen in the bright sunlight. Next time I think I&#8217;ll set an alarm on my watch so I won&#8217;t have to keep checking the time. <br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>I discovered something surprising. There&#8217;s a lot of detail in the blown up image done in Brushes Viewer. Look at the daffodils for instance. I found I could use this large image to experiment with various cropped versions of the scene. <br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Here&#8217;s a version of the same tree done with Oil Canvas, another paint program for the iPhone\/Touch. You start with a photo and use different sized brushes to &#8216;paint&#8217; the image by drawing color from the photo.<\/p>\n<p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/art.blodget.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/oil_canvas_tree1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Oil_canvas_tree\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/art.blodget.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/oil_canvas_tree1.jpg?resize=333%2C500\" width=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my first attempt at doing a 10 minute sketch on location.
