The Future
Just thought I'd start off a little gallery of musings, scribblings and so forth. I'm not used to showing anything I do to people really. Taron has inspired me to be a little more open and sharing! I hope that I can learn from all of you guys to be a better painter, and I hope one day to be able to say I inspired someone else!
Side note: I just re-discovered that fact that you don't/shouldn't have to press down on a wacom pen like a silverback gorilla. I think Verve's unique sensitivity to pressure input helped me re-learn that one! You really do have to just lightly brush the surface for input to register, it is just sometimes the brush settings may be fighting you (e.g you have very low opacity set with a pressure sensitive brush). I think I have been fighting this a little of late! . Oh, Taron if you happen to stop by. My new found awareness for the gentle approach had me wondering if there could be a setting we could turn on (in a distant future build) that may allow the paint to inherit the velocity of the act of pushing the brush down. So that just by pushing on the canvas to squish your brush, rippling outward velocities would emanate from the brush. It seems at least to me that currently you have to physically move the brush in x and y for velocities to be introduced. I have no idea if what I said just made sense. Knowing you, the feature is already in Verve!
Here are two appropriately themed doodles to get me going...

(sticks little finger in corner of mouth). So easy to swish some paint around if you're not happy with an abstract piece's progress and be whisked on another journey by Verve down paths you many never have travelled in any other medium! Hey Taron, will there be any option to disable/enable 'hyperfluids' in a future build? I can't quite put my finger on why, but the previous version kinda felt dare I say a little more refined fluid behaviour wise?! Not sure if this is a good or bad thing really! Either way I'm loving Verve more every time I use it, finally getting used to the shortcuts too! Really is the way to work when you get used to it. The interface melts away and there is nothing between you and the canvas except the brush of course!
