My daily painting in ZenBrush2 app
This was not meant to be my finished painting, I was simply practising bamboo leaves. And how to get the shape with my different fingers. Because my little finger will give a certain shape with an upward flick, but my first finger when I do the flick it is a downward flick. And so I was experimenting how the shape and flick looked with my different fingers.
(As an aside, I dictated the above to my iPad, it was exactly what I said. But then before my eyes the iPad software changed what I had said, and so then it went and changed the previous previous sentence...and so on. And what emerged was a piece of sexual innuendo. Nothing to do with what I wrote originally. It did not used to do this. It is only relatively recently after an update it's gone bananas. I won't say what I would like to do to the programmer...)
And so, I decided to leave the play with the leaves as it stood, and added some sparrows.
Now I need to lie down with my smelling salts...no, not because of the above, but I made a bid against others on eBay, and there is less than half hour left, and I am the winning bid so far. I had just bought something else from the same seller this morning, which is a straight purchase, and I emailed and asked if I won the bid, would he consider posting the two items in one postage. He sent me a message back saying yes, if I won the bid, and so that gives me nearly another £6 to play with if there is a last minute bidding war.
I have never bid against anyone else on eBay before. This is more tense than the auction rooms in real life. A real life auction bid is easier (as long as you realise the increments it is going up by) and over in a matter of a couple of minutes...(I did tend to prolong an auction a bit with being deaf, checking with the auctioneer I was bidding the amount I thought I was, well with being deaf I cannot hear exactly what is going on...)
Oh, here is my painting...
