Using a tablet to draw and paint is a new medium. Sometimes the word "digital" can cause a misunderstanding of what digital drawing and painting actually is. The work is done on the touch screen of a tablet computer, but from that point on, it is a drawing and painting medium with many similarities to other more traditional mediums. In this evening workshop students will be given an introduction of how to draw and paint digitally on their iPads using an application called "Procreate". The first half of the workshop will be a demonstration by the instructor. This demo will cover things such as setting in your initial composition and how to re-size certain elements of your drawing in order to get proportions correct.

Then we'll move on to how to choose, apply, and manipulate your virtual paint. Questions for the instructor are encouraged during this process. The second half of the workshop will be a time for students to work on a simple still life of their own. Still life objects will be provided by the instructor and we'll work on aspects such as composition and laying in light shadow.
