Caption: Why Painterly? As a former sketch card artist, I have a background in drawing and painting but I was always confined to my studio to have access to all of my supplies and tools.
Quite by accident I stumbled upon some amazing artists who were creating their work using only photos and apps to edit them. I was intrigued and started to experiment.
Painterly editing combines my love of drawing and painting with my desire for freedom and mobility. I can have it all when I create this way.
