Digital painting demonstrated

Visitors to Wagstaffe during the long weekend were treated to demonstrations of digital painting by artist Ms Debbie Mackinnon.

Ms Mackinnon demonstrated the attributes of a number of different sketching and painting applications.

"The artistic potential of the new media was clearly illustrated in works she exhibited at the exhibition," said event organiser Mr Peter Scott.

Other art on display from a number of Central Coast artists included more than 50 works created on a diverse array of electronic devices, ranging from smart phones, tablet computers, desktops and digital cameras.

Octogenarian painter Sheila White showed a selection of art she had created on her recently-purchased iPad.

"Over two days, this innovative exhibition generated a great deal of interest and sparked many enthusiastic reactions as the show broke new ground and offered artists an exciting new outlet for their imaginations," said Mr Scott.

The expo also helped raise funds for a project of the Wagstaffe to Killcare Community Association to improve facilities at Turo Park.
