There's nothing like painting and layering materials with my own hands. But art apps on smart devices offer new ways to create digital images that are quick and fun. British painter David Hockney recently exhibited art created with the Brushes app on his iPad (at the deYoung Museum). And countless people use smartphones for iphoneography.
A favorite new app on my iPad mini is Paper by 53. I like sketching and doodling with its virtual tools. I especially like the watercolor effects of the brush, the variation in line of the fountain pen, and the natural way it lets me mix colors. I just use my fingers.
