Can't stop playing with Rebelle 5 because it's inspirational software

Practicing with Rebelle 5

Rebelle 5 is getting its hooks into me. I’ve always told myself that “I can’t” paint, but Rebelle 5 keeps whispering, “Yes. Maybe you can it you just don’t give up when your painting sucks.”

So I keep coming back to Rebelle. The way I see it, if I can just learn to paint a little, I could work faster, get more done, and write more books in the little time I have. I don’t need to paint like a master — I need to paint like a guy who has a story to tell and doesn’t give a damn about being perfect. I just want to be good enough to move on to the next book, and the next book, and the next book.

A Pomeranian done with Rebelle 5

Today I did the laundry, vacuumed the house, and walked Nacho the Pug. Tomorrow I’m going to do some cooking: a golden curry with tofu and a big pot of borscht. All of the food is vegan, and it’s delicious.

I had an hour to explore Rebelle 5 and ended up sketching and painting a Pomeranian. I used a reference even though I have a Pomeranian sleeping next to my desk. Willy has zero interest in anything I do and I don’t want to inconvenience him — he’s really cranky when I wake him from one of his precious naps.
