Art has been made!
ID 1: a photo of Echo’s hand using a guided hands device to paint using watercolours. Echo holds a joystick on an to control a paintbrush held on a frame over a paint palette and paper. /end ID 1
ID 2: Echo uses the same device to create digital art on the procreate app /end ID 2
This device is absolutely incredible – I am so happy I’ve got art back as a hobby!
The guided hands worked really well for digital art and I was even able to use my watercolour paints once we’d managed to get everything within reach.
I can use the device in my comfy chair, my bed or in my wheelchair which is absolutely fantastic.
I think I still need to do some experimenting with my set up for watercolours so I can make everything a bit easier to reach, and I need to find a better way of supporting my elbow and shoulder while using it. The company recommends using a pool noodle so I’ve ordered one and will report back when it arrives.
Another thing I need to figure out is how to protect whatever implement I’m using from the clamp screw that holds it in place. I’m using a silicone straw at the moment which is better than nothing but not perfect (and does look a bit ridiculous).
