Fawley from Weston Shore Hampshire Digital Sketch
This is a small digital sketch painting done
from life. It is also the first time I had a go at painting digitally
on location and generally speaking it worked out quite well. The painting is no masterpiece but I think
I will continue to explore this avenue! The location is in Hampshire
looking at Southampton Water from Weston Shore/ Victoria park. In the
distance on the other side of the water can be seen Fawley power
station and oil terminal. Beyond that is the New Forest.
The software used was 'Sketchbook for Windows
tablet' by Autodesk. I down loaded it the previous afternoon to play
around with it, using my Microsoft Surface Pro device, that uses a
Wacom enabled screen/ pen. One concern I had is not being
able to see the screen as I worked, if the day was sunny. As it
turned out I could see it reasonably well, on this very sunny Autumn day. I had installed 'Painter
Essentials' a few months ago but found that is was over complicated
for quick use and disappointingly the pen or tablet did not work well
with it, often having to press or draw a number of time to get any
response, and that does not suit the fast way I work. To make painter
work well, when sitting at a desk does mean using an external
keyboard for short cuts. That's ok when at home but not when out and
about. The 'Sketchbook' software I have to say worked well. The pen
was always responsive with the software without fail and controlling
the software was simple so you can concentrate on the task at hand.
