Sarah Jarrett Rocks

*** I originally published this article with collage artist Sarah Jarrett back in 2013 and today in 2022, the work still looks as fresh as it did almost 10 years ago so I thought it would be great to see it here again on the new website. Some of the apps Sarah uses maybe outdated or obsolete but the techniques are are still relevant to editing today. Sarah discusses the techniques behind 32 of her images Talented and unstoppable UK artist, Sarah Jarrett won the big prize of Mobile Photography Awards photographer earlier this year.

Lettering and Text
Nicki FitzGerald

Using Text in Digital Art

I can’t resist photographing lettering when I am out and about, and love to incorporate these “text-photos” into my digital art like the image “Boys Room” and “Getting the colour back #1” below. Shooting lettering and textures on boats in Weymouth Harbour, Dorset, UK. “Boys Room” (above) uses text from at least 3 different photos shot on my iPhone. The lettering in this image comes from two sources; a hotel vacancy sign and a photo I shot of some ad hoc signage I spotted during a local school visit. The images were blended together using Procreate on my iPad Pro. I have a huge text and lettering folder in my iPad photos library which houses all kinds of lettering both

A Fine Line – best sketch apps for creating an outline from a photo

Do you know of a good OUTLINE app out there for creating thick, clean and stylised outlines like the image below created in PicsArt? – which is almost perfect by the way.

PicsArt does a fantastic job of turning photos into beautiful outlines although it does focus on the face and tends to lose details elsewhere. I’m obsessed with lines; quality of line and mark-making. For those of you have taken my online classes, you’ll know that I encourage a good scribble. It’s good for both getting to know your mark-making tools and it can be a real stress buster! I’m currently looking for a really good app that

Printing Digital Art
Nicki FitzGerald

To Boldly and Beautifully go…

From iPhone photo to huge colour paper prints, iPhone artist Barbara Braman shares her workflow in this fascinating process of how she translates her digital images into luscious, colourful bold images on paper. While browsing the iPhoneographyCentral Flickr group a few weeks ago, one woman’s work really stood out in the Flickr Group. Barbara Braman’s incredibly beautiful bold and colourful images really took my breath away and after doing a little research, I was delighted to discover that she had also taken the trouble to learn a thing or two about printing and get her images, where they should be, out of the phone and into the real world by way of magnificent full-colour prints. By sheer coincidence, my second

Hi, I’m Nicki FitzGerald, UK artist, author illustrator and teacher based on the South Coast of England. Drawing inspiration from the everyday moments in life, I stir in some imagination to create collages and painterly photos incorporating both digital and analogue techniques into my work experimenting with photography, paint and paper on an iPhone and iPad.
