Bicycle Snake. Beware!, originally uploaded by purple0wl.
The Bicycle Snake has landed! The preferred diet of this rapacious reptile is fortunately bicycles, but it’s not a good idea to get in its way. It has a nasty bite.
Noting that my new app Magic Brush allows you to make a finger painting brush from any image, I stole a cycle or two from the bicycle shed at Oxford station. This serpent was the unfortunate result.
I photographed the cycle shed on my way home from the Oxford Internet Institute. There I had been mesmerised by a portrait painting session given by Jeremy Sutton. He uses Corel Painter, which of course gives a huge choice of brushes, and allows you to make your own. You can see the vast Painter 11 range in my samplers at http://owler.com.
The range of brushes and effects on offer for finger painting on the iPhone or iPod Touch is increasing daily. Handheld apps are unsurprisingly more limited than desktop leviathans like Corel Painter or Photoshop. Most iphone artists use several finger painting, drawing and photographic apps, but don’t despair! Once you’ve got your iPhone or iPod Touch, apps are cheap and most offer frequent free upgrades.

Yes, Anita. It seems every day there’s something new you can do with these apps! I can hardly keep up.
Oh that is totally awesome Valerie! I had no idea you could make your own brushes
