#WhereIsRa?: Minnesota and Iowa
April 28, 2016
During Spring Break I took a family vacation to Minnesota and Iowa. For once I left my iPad at home. (Especially since my carry on was stuffed to the brim.) Instead I created some paintings from life on my iPhone using the Brushes app. Also it’s been some time since…

Welcome to Day 11 of my iPad Pro coverage. I took the entire day to focus on one portrait instead of doing a few smaller projects like the previous days. My goal was to try some new tools with this portrait to stay outside of my comfort zone.
