View from Serre-Ratier, iPhone drawing using ‘Brushes’
On a recent trip to the French Alps I packed a sketchpad and some pastels. In the event, I didn’t use them. It was simply to cold (about -15 C at the top of the mountain). I fell back on what is becoming my default sketching medium: my iPhone, and in particular an App made famous by David Hockney called Brushes. It’s really a very simple piece of software, but like with a lot of drawing media, it’s limitations are its strength. When you’re freezing at the top of a mountain you don’t really want loads of choice: it’s nice to have something that forces you to make quick decisions.
Here are a couple more, mostly done very quickly:

Love the simplicity of this Paul, we all need more experiences that require less time to think! I meant to comment on your last post but things ran away with me! Adored the colours and the sorry gave me a giggle. It reminds me of the barge pic you did last year when I was there. Hope all is well x
Hi Collette, thanks for this and previous comments. Glad you like the pictures. Just viewed your photos for Copadance. Looks fun and interesting, if somewhat ‘out there’, PX
That was meant to be story!!! Sorry…….
Cool colours & pics! I love the ‘simplistic’ look.
