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.
...each drawing/painting with this resist background looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOh 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.

ReplyDeleteI 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!
