Art Gallery

I have started painting pictures. Actually I started a few years ago but I have slowly accumulated a few finished paintings.

They are not good. Its more about the therapy than anything.


In the beginning I was really impressed with how some programs can emulate water colors, which is what I mostly want to use. I downloaded the one I thought was the most promising. It's a program called Rebelle. I started painting with a stylus on my laptop. My laptop is an i7 and has a "studio mode" but it struggled. I imagine that Rebelle has lots of math going on to emulate water. It tracks where all the water and pigments are and where they should drip.

One day was I was at work and randomly talking to the director of lcd-art. I was telling him about my lack of art hardware was a bummer. He told me that he had an extra XP-PEN art tablet and that I could use it. So I set it up connected to my main gamming PC and started painting stuff.

The other night I was wanting to show my art to some friends but I didn't have a way to do that. So I decided that I need a place to put them that will be around and personal. I decided here is a good place.

I created a blog that will be about the art I have created. Its an easy place to collect the art and then show it to people when needed:
