Cintiq 12WX
I recently purchased a Wacom Cintiq 12WX. It's a pressure sensitive tablet that allows you to work directly on the screen so it has a very natural feel.
This is my first digital painting, it took about 20 hours but a good portion of the time was spent learning how to work the Cintiq.
Digital painting has some advantages over traditional painting. It is much faster and easier to change your image which is ideal for illustration work.
It is exciting to be involved in the traditional oils that has been around for hundreds of years and a brand new style of painting.
However I have no intention of replacing my traditional oil painting with digital.
A computer screen does not compare to my french easel, paints and brushes and being outside on a beautiful day. You cant beat that!

Photo shoot
We took about two hundred pictures yesterday some of them I will use for painting references.
I think the light coming threw the dust is a really interesting effect.
The first photo is of my mare Duchess we are practicing a sliding stop.
The other photo is of my trainer Kate Lehman "in the cowboy hat"
This October has been excellent riding weather.
