This digital painting was created live at an annual charity fundraiser. I used an iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and the Procreate app. As I painted the artwork, based on direct observation, the guests were able to watch me paint and ask questions, and follow the progress of the artwork on multiple screens. A unique large framed canvas print of the final artwork was then auctioned to raise money for the charity.
“I just want to say a huge thank you. You’ve been a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process and we were thrilled with the final outcome, not just the artwork itself, but also the interactive sparkle you brought to the experience of the day.” ~ L.R.
