This was done as challenge. I used Sketchbook with only 2 paint brushes and one dry brush. The paint brushes act like real ones for the most part and it felt a little like oil painting. I painted each laundry item on a separate layer to avoid confusion but i merged them together when I was I done. Not having to worry about only have 4 layers on the iPad anymore was very freeing. Despite using the app for a decade I have never tried colour in it for some reason.
I did a sketch and took reference photos at Möbius Meadows Farmstead in the spring. The laundry was strung up in the glassed in porch which gets really hot, even in winter so they dry quickly and I thought it might be interesting to paint it. My friend who owns the farm really liked it and said I turned his laundry in art! His name is Art as well so that always sounds confusing to me.
