Every so often, more and more frequently in fact, I'm asked to teach people how to draw and paint on tablets. Depending on who's asking it can be a range of age groups. At the Ben Uri gallery I work with adults, on a St Peter's craft morning its children.

In as much as each group brings something new to the table there's little difference (actually that's not true... Nine times out of ten adults are far more scared to start than children are). But each group is certainly fun to run.

This morning it was the turn of the 5-12 year olds and it was a lovely session. I could only fit 6 kids on my table and with 25 there it was a busy morning with lots of laughing and coo-ing over peoples shoulders (there were 3 other tables of other things to do on the hall that said so it's not like people didn't get the chance to play with something while they were waiting.

I'd brought 6 loaned Samsung Notes with me, 3 Note 10.1s, 2 Note 3s and a Note Pro. Each are great machines and the kids loved drawing on photos of each others faces using the very wonderful ArtRage app.

All in all - lovely fun. A huge shame the Samsungs have to go back this week, have thoroughly enjoyed working with them...
