One of my favorite browsing and shopping sites, Art.com, has a fun on-line version of Paintbrush. You paint a picture and when you’re finished you watch as a video replays everything you did, very cool. You can then view it in a mock-up art gallery and they will add it to their collection. My painting is done with my mouse, not very fancy but fun to do. I just ordered a Wacom tablet so I can learn to do more intricate graphic designs (I hope) like the ones I see on the Illustration Friday site. I’m not giving up on my “Story of George” collages though, no matter how tricky I become with the pen and tablet!

Uh-oh. I went. Another way to spend WAY too much time on line. But what fun!
I’ve just tried out art.com and you’re right it is great fun but even with my Wacom tablet I found it hard to control the paint brush for any detailed stuff and now I’ve lost my masterpiece cause I didn’t email it to anybody or something.
Anyway it’s a brilliant idea for sending cards over the net, nice find.
Oh, I couldn’t live without my Wacom. I’m on my second one, just love them. Have fun!
