Sketchbook pages

succulent
The Sketchbook Challenge theme this month is Can't Resist. So being the literal kind of gal I am, I used a resist on my pages. I prepared the pages at home by using a stencil and spray gesso. I also tried using masking fluid, and dabbing it on through a stencil, but the images didn't come out very clear, just chunky.

Here's how my page looked before I painted it.

  2. Oh Jane I love the fuidity of your lines and the subtle colors on the cactus painting. I'm not sure how you use the spray gesso. I'll email you about it.

  4. I especially love the cactus and succulent. I was so moved by your post with Juanita's art. You are certainly making the word a better place! I also loved "running into" you at our local bookstore. I stopped to admire a Farmer's Market watercolored sketch and was delighted to see that it was yours!
