Portrait of my son Theo using iPad app Brushes

This afternoon I managed to get my son Theo to sit for a portrait to test the iPad app 'Brushes' for about an hour and a half - with a break in the middle.

Thanks to Glenn Armstrong of Coup d'Archet for permission to use the music - Johanna Martzy playing Milhaud - Le Printemps

Comment by Gillian Holding on April 6, 2011 at 9:50: enjoyed watching this. I'm impressed that you took the trounble to properly edit the Brushes video. makes a difference o the exoerience!

Comment by Mik Godley on February 28, 2011 at 17:16: The latter definitely Paul!

Comment by Paul matosic on February 28, 2011 at 15:27: not sure which is the greater acheivement.

That you have managed to master the art of I pad drawing or that you managed to get Theo to sit still for 90 mins!

Comment by Mik Godley on February 28, 2011 at 10:50: Hello Germán - Velazquez would probably say I should work harder :)

Comment by ARINA on February 27, 2011 at 21:46: Hi, Mik, thank you for sending me the link to your AMAZING work!...I am surprised of the technolodgy, and your skills, or both:) I do like the portrait, it is very fresh, spontaneous and shows a character behind the face...

Comment by Mik Godley on February 27, 2011 at 12:25: Thanks Juno, Max and Valerie!

@Max - yes you can produce a high resolution print from the file this process creates. I've not experimented much with the print side yet, but will do soon - towards an exhibition in Weimar, Germany in the autumn (fall).

@Valerie - your tweet has certainly made a difference to people looking at this - thank you so much!

@ Juno - you too :)

Comment by VALERIE MARGOLIS on February 27, 2011 at 1:25: Hi Mik,

Love the portrait! Beautifully done!

I think I'll tweet it.

Glad you had a good time in NYC (though I do believe there are a number of good bars there...).

Comment by Max-Carlos Martinez on February 27, 2011 at 0:39: Beautiful finish there Mik, what a talented young man you are. Hey so this process then produces a paper image or something? I am ignorant on the subject, are you painting with an external tool? You really have taken wonderful advantage of the new app.
