Started out light and, sketchy. Then I added another layer. And a bit more. I love artists that have a light, delicate touch. So often want to paint that way. But I always end up heavy on the color. So I have to face it. That is me.

This is the first in my birthday Sketchbook gift from Jerry’s Artarama. I used pencil, Inktense, Neocolor and a waterbrush. The paper buckled while I was working, but I left it overnight with a weight on it, and I have to say I am pleased with how flat it dried.

Somehow this 4 x 6 book seems smaller than a 4 x 6 postcard. Weird. Just my brain. I have wanted to start a sketchbook for a while. I so admire the sketch books I see by those of you who keep them. So shout out to Jerry’s – Thank you!

This was fun!

      Aww, thanks for that Katie 🙂 You just made my day! Posting a face soon… didn’t quite finish the first time and yesterday was gone in a blink.

      All it says is hard-bound. I can see why a spiral would be easier to work in, and I’m pretty sure they sell those too. Acid free, 75 lb., paper is from sustainable forests. Also says Jerry’s Artarama is an employee owned company. Didn’t know that. 😉 They have several sizes 😉
