Digital paintings

Posted on December 20, 2017 by Genevieve

This week I have been creating some new digital paintings. This first one was done in iColorama and Metabrush.

This is the first in a series of abstracts based on tangle patterns. This one is based on a pattern called Membranart by Tomás Padrós.

This one is based on the Echo Lines techniques by Eni Oken, using one of my metallic textures.

And this is another piece in Tricia Dewey’s Framed Botanicals class. I found this photo on Pixabay of a hand holding a photo frame, and I thought it would work for a class painting.

Here are a few more paintings I created as part of the online class Framed Botanicals by Tricia Dewey.

Creating art with my Digital Papers part 4

Posted on November 22, 2017 by Genevieve

The images below are digital paintings created using digital papers from my Sets 9 and 12.

If you are creating artwork with my digital papers, and you would like me to include it in a blog post, you can contact me on this page. If you are on Instagram, Twitter, or Pinterest, please tag your work with the #digitalpapersbygenevieve hashtag.

You can see all my digital papers by clicking here.
Name your own price!

The papers from Set 9 are designed especially for tangling, with textured backgrounds and shapes with colours from the background. Here is an example on which I drew some simple mandalas.

This is a mandala I created in iOrnament, layered in Procreate on a background from Set 12.

Digital paintings from online class

Posted on November 8, 2017 by Genevieve

I have been in a bit of a rut with my digital painting lately. Then I started a great online class called Framed Botanicals by Tricia Dewey. It’s an awesome class.

I have created these three paintings, mostly in Procreate, and I am working on a bunch more. What fun!

Weekly Roundup #343

Posted on November 3, 2017 by Genevieve

The Future of the Weekly Roundup

Dear friends… When I started the Weekly Roundup in December 2010, shortly after I became a Certified Zentangle® Teacher, I had no idea that it would continue for this many years. I appreciate all my faithful readers, and also all the wonderful artists’ contributions.

Sadly though, the readership of the Roundup has diminished considerably over the last few years, which tells me that a lot fewer people are finding it useful.

Also, during this time, my interests have been changing. I am doing less tangling, more mixed-media art, and more digital art. I am also making a resolution to spend more time making art, and less time looking at artwork or watching how-to YouTube videos. I will also be revamping my website.

So… Weekly Roundup #345 (in two weeks) will be the last one. I will be announcing an updated eBook of pattern links and videos, which will also include links to websites and Facebook groups for you to check to stay up to date on everything to do with tangling.
