IPad 2 artwork

I haven't really experimented with digital art other than a short-lived attempt to learn Illustrator. However I wanted to try using my IPad to draw. I was recommended the drawing app Procreate by Adam, the PGSE student who is currently teaching us photography . He showed us some of his artwork, done on his IPhone and I decided I had to give it a try.
Procreate is a really powerful app, with a big choice of brushes and the ability to work in layers. I used that to advantage by importing a photo then drawing on another layer and colouring on yet another. The layers also helped in creating the background.
So what was my first image? This is it!

Christmas Decorations

Having looked around our very crowded lounge I just couldn't see where I was going to put a tree this year. (only our second Christmas in this house and I can't remember where I put it last year!)
As this is our first Christmas without my father in law we have decided to do things differently, ring the changes. So here's the result of my first radical decision - no tree!
I have lots and lots of decorations so I picked a colour theme - we had red and blue lights so red, blue and silver it was. I then tied tree hooks onto fishing line, hung it from the net curtain rod and added the decorations. Blue lights added in the window, red ones on the bookcase and white ones with silver tinsel on the wall.
Last year we started collecting Lemax illuminated houses so there is a village on the windowsill.
I feel the need for some greenery so I'm going to raid the garden a bit nearer to Christmas and challenge my flower arranging skills too!
