‘Brushes’ iPhone app: painting at the touch of your finger

New Yorker mag cover created with Brushes

If you read my post about digital painting, you may have got that ART-PIE believes in the ‘get your hands dirty’ approach when it comes to make art. Get your brushes, pencils, spray paint cans, anything and everything and get physical with the whole lot to get that unique feeling of satisfaction when finally the idea that was stuck in your head for a while is now right there in front of you and ready to be seen by others.

There is an app for just about everything’ they say so I was not surprised to find out about that app called ‘Brushes’, your new tool for creating original artwork on your mobile device. Not interested at first, my keen interest for the i-phone convinced me to keep on reading about it.

Gordon Cheung at Room: multi media artist

theJourney

I always find fascinating when an artist can juggle between medias or techniques, when artists can be as varied as Gordon Cheung is. It is definitely a sign of open mindedness and in this case also talent.

Pyrographics, spray paint, oil, acrylics, sculpture, animation… Gordon Cheung seems to explore everything in is art. THE JOURNEY (ink, acrylic gel and spray paint on canvas), BEAR and BULL (both being acrylic gel and spray on canvases) are definitely my favorite pieces. Acrylic gel is superb to get incredible texture and relief.
