Moleskine resistance


I did a bunch of plant paintings in the Moleskine, using the paper's resistance to create texture in the leaves.

This one turned out with less texture in the leaves, but with more interesting flowers.













Zooming in . . . waiting for things to bloom on the page takes a lot of patient tending.

LOVELY!! You've achieved such a glorious green!

Thatks! That green came from (I think) pthalo blue and burnt sienna.

I'd forgotten how beautiful those Moleskine "accidents" can be! The blue textured nicely! Wonderful painting Nita!
