Ok party people, have we all seen the Affinity update?
HOLY MOLY! I am so exited!

Bummer, that we have to wait a bit for the iPad a bit - but wow. This is beyond awesome.
And THANK YOU Serif for not abandoning the idea of a full feature iOS version!

Real vector brushes would indeed be a big step up and I think have been on the user wishlist since forever.

I am just hoping they are not completely giving up on the iPad.

I really like having a pretty much feature complete version on the tablet.
But there is of course a reason that this is the exceptionโ€ฆ

Still, fingers crossed.

A quick mini landscape with watercolors - inspired by our summer holiday in Donegal, Ireland.

Maybe you just need old fashioned pen pals and then you can use them!

Currently making envelop art for letters to the Irish family and itโ€˜s super fun!

No tutorials, but other than adding textures I mostly use them together with clipping masks for very controlled edits.
Like instead of color adjustments I might add another subtle paint layer in overlay.

Not exactly abstract, but I had a whole lot of fun layering mountains.

Also was very happy with how the sky colors turned out.

Two watercolor sketches - one showing a landscape in greens, blues and brown. One showing a very abstract landscape in vibrant pinks, blues and greens.

I started a new class with the always fabulous @laurahornart.bsky.social
First sketches for abstract landscape and textures.
Very fun, very relaxing (ok, minus me finding out the new paper hates my standard tapeโ€ฆ)

Cannot wait to do more exercises.

I was instantly intrigued seeing this - and apparently there is a Netflix series now?
I shall see if I can get the child interested in either reading or watching it

Back to my sketchbook and watercolors.
First layer down for some abstract mini-compositions.

Itโ€˜s a very fun, relaxing exercise. Just take a colored pencil and scribble. This becomes the area for your color blobs on top.
