You can adjust the texture and colour (and size and layout) of the canvas before you start your piece. You can select from a variety of textures and colours of canvas, paper, metal, etc. The first thing I noticed was the wide range of media you could create art on. I’m using my “Pieta” painting (on the home page) as the sample for this post, and you can see more of my digital paintings using ArtRage in my gallery post. I looked through a few apps, and I settled on ArtRage, as from the documentation it seemed to be able to replicate media very accurately without it looking digital or like a graphic design.

Eventually I started looking into whether I could paint and draw on my iPad, as I could zoom in and out and hold the iPad propped up on my knees at eye level. That was pretty devastating for me as I’ve always made things and created. When I first got injured and slowly learned the extent of my limitations, I thought I wouldn’t be able to make art again. Because of my neck injury, I can’t paint and draw on real canvas or paper – I can’t move my head much, I have to look straight ahead, and I can’t move my shoulder or arms too much as my muscles fatigue really fast. And I’m not getting paid anything to write this review, I’m not getting anything from the company, I’ve just found it to be a really helpful app and I wanted to share the information about it. Hi all! I thought I’d share a wonderful app I stumbled upon a little over a year ago to allow me to paint and draw again.
