When I created my youtube channel called and called it " The Armchair Artist" I wanted to show how easy it is to do art on an ipad. It takes up less space an it is easier to pick and carry on with a painting than it is with traditional art, because you don't have to get all the paraphernalia out. There's no doubt about it, real art can be a bit of chore especially after a hard days work. The net result is that it is easier not to bother and if you don't bother you can't expect to get any better. Practice makes perfect and that is a fact.
However, I may have confused some people and they have assumed I called it "The Armchair Artist" because I was too lazy to get up and do some proper painting. In this post I would like to dismiss that train of thought by showing that I'm, not a couch potato.
Those of you who follow my other blog http://www.shirewriting.blogspot.com/ will know that I do a lot of creative things with wood like, turning, carving and pyrography.
Here is a short video of a walking stick that I have just finished.
