Mind and Body therapy with computer art
49It is really challenging to test your skills and challenge your mind with the computer tools which come with art programs. I like to think outside the square and now that I am reasonably proficient I find it is a form of therapy for the body and mind. It can take your mind off your more pressing problems and help you to relax your body freeing it of its odd aches and pains which stress and tension bring on during your normal working day.
The aim is not to turn you into a great artist but to allow you the facility to doodle digitally rather than with pencil and paper, there is no need to impress anyone, you can simply feel free to enjoy yourself.
Of course beginning does bring its own frustrations so take it easily initially and if you don't want to do it yourself you just might like to look at what I do and ask yourself how and what for?
I use Paint.NET as it is available for download free online, you may like to play with a different program.
I'm addicted to enjoying myself with it and figured I should share it with you as yet another outlet for your creativity.

Not very long Hawkesdream, but sometimes it can take a bit longer but I am very experienced, and I don't mind spending the time playing, getting them on here can be an unwelcome time taker.
Sometimes the numbering system gets out of hand and I actually can't find some of what I did recently but I'll come across them in due course.
It's lovely to have your visit and your comments, thank you so much
I, too, like the one that you like
Heheheh. I don't know, I think computers can be quite stressful and complicated computer art can be quite distressing. :)
Like your art, by the way. :)
I am so sorry Beats Me, just take is ever so gently, don't even try to achieve, just play and abuse the program, tell it what you think of it, and tell it it is so stupid you're not going to bother with it until it starts being more sensible, try a line, next time a circle, then experiment with another feature, spray some colour in and you'll get so excited that nasty old stress will leave, if not, take a walk while you cool off, don't let a silly old art program beat you, beats me.
I just love you to visit, stress and all.

Amazing, liked the variation, saw eyes looking at me! lol, the final harmonic symphony is my favourite. How long do these take you to do?
