Oil on canvas (not)

Here’s the list of iPad apps we were required to download for the ARTography class:

Snapseed: photo enhancement    

Photoshop Express: remove spots, straighten, control intensity, contrast

Glaze: Stylize whole or part of picture

CamScanner: I used one of this app’s capabilities (OCR Poetry) in my December 19 post 

Camera Awesome:  fast, sharp, better exposed pictures

Camera +: Good for clarity.

Image Blender and Union: Both can combine two images. Difference is Union allows you to use third image as mask.

Repix: 20 effect brushes, 16 filters, 11 frames

Decim8:  Digital abstracts.  Destroy to create. Good for glitching (electronic distortion and interference)

There is just about no end to the ways you can combine digital techniques (app-stacking) and analog techniques, but I actually only used one filter in one app (Glaze) to produce this lovely ‘oil’ painting (well, it’s the loveliest ‘oil’ painting I’ve ever produced.) I decided to quit while I was ahead.
