Apple’s IPad has created an opportunity to create digital art using a very sophisticated direct pen-on-screen drawing and painting technique. With your IPad and a conductive drawing stylus you have the equivalent of a state of the art Wacom drawing tablet system that you can create hand drawn artwork with the aid of powerful computer software applications.
Leap Frog Studios will be offering a hands-on workshop that will introduce basic instruction on how to create digital art from your personal digital photographs.
The workshop will cover basic instruction using the ArtStudio Drawing App and construction of a drawing stylus for use on your Ipad. The workshop is intended for the beginning digital artist with limited drawing skills. The IPad has created an opportunity for more people to enjoy the digital art experience.
