Boats!

ID: a digital painting of three dinghies in a race in a bright colour scheme. The first boat is pink, the second is blue, the third is yellow. Each boat has highlights that match the colours of the other two boats. There is a hillside covered in trees in the background and a blue and purple sky / end ID.

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).

Talking of guided hands, I added some detail to this painting and I’m so much happier with it!

Who needs a broomstick when you can enchant your wheelchair?

ID: a witch is flying over mountains in a six wheeled tilt in space wheelchair. The witch is wearing blue and black and has a wheelchair with a night sky theme – the main casing is flecked with stars and the large drive wheel has a crescent moon and the constellation of Cassiopeia. The sky behind her is lit with shooting stars and bright aurora borealis. /end ID

This was a fun little experiment that turned out a lot better than I was expecting!

I finished the boat race painting today!

The first boat is bright pink, the second a bright cyan, and the third a bright yellow. Each boat has highlights in the colours of the other two boats. In the background is a hillside covered in green trees, accented in yellow and blue. The sky is blue with deep purple clouds /end ID
