Linux application MyPaint has some possibilities: it's just a matter of clicking through the brushes and separating the tacky from the less-tacky. It's fairly intuitive: you choose a background and start noodling. The main brush I'm interested is "blend," which allows modeling from dark to light. Chibi Paint has an excellent "watercolor" brush that can be used for blending. MyPaint's is adequate -- it may be a matter of messing with the speed and opacity settings.

Drawn and modified in a handful of paint programs: Chibi Paint, Microsoft Paint, Linux MyPaint, and GIMP.
Am attempting to wean myself off of Windows, after the last round of outrages from the criminal class in Redmond. Linux Mint is a much better operating system in many respects than Windows 7 through 10 but the creative software is going to take some getting used to. This is not to apologize for the above drawing, it's supposed to be this way.
Honey Ramka gallery has posted some installation shots from the "Control Panel" exhibition. Below is Forest Blob (a projected version of this animated GIF). A gallerygoer also Instagrammed it.
Below is an installation shot showing more of the work:
"Control Panel" is open through Aug. 2, at 156 Bogart in Bushwick, Brooklyn. A panel discussion of the show will be held this Saturday, July 25, at 4 pm -- more on that soon.
Lookin' around, every caucasian yuppie-type male in the subway car today had a beard and man bun (or topknot). Drew this from memory of the one sitting across from me. He had a slim, attractive female companion who was reaching across and showing him things on his phone. He was absorbed in whatever stupid shite people are into when they carry phones around.
