"Cottage at Twilight" - iPad painting
This is a quintessential Christmas scene - a charming cottage inviting us in through the trees across the snow covered path. Smoke is rising so the fire is lit and the twinkling windows assure us of a warm welcome when we get there! It is quite a complicated composition with many layers so was ideally suited to the modern medium of iPad art. I am often asked what exactly an iPad painting is. It is of course a painting like any other but with a  different medium.Here's a step by step guide to "Cottage at Twilight". 
You will notice that I have proceeded in the same way as I paint with watercolour so an oil painter or acrylic painter may have used a different approach. The painting app I use is called Drawcast. I find it very easy to work with because it is so uncomplicated and lets me concentrate on the painting rather than the technology involved.

Is this a paid app?
I tried Art Rage last year on my laptop and my fingers were tired of the whole process.

Hi Warren. When I first started with the iPad, I downloaded several paid apps - brushes, sketchbook pro etc - but I always went back to Drawcast. This is a free app and the one I first started with to practise on before buying a 'better' app. I was wrong. The others apps were good but very complicated. By the time I had chose the brush to use etc, etc I had forgotten what I was painting. But with Drawcast it is so simple to use that I can concentrate on what I like best - painting.
