Well, I took the plunge and decided to order a sketchbook for this! I have to admit, I had to look at this little blank book for a few days and it is a little daunting. So many pages to fill and by April 30th! I decided I wanted to do mostly acrylics and the pages are only 70lb. cardstock so I used Gel Medium to adhere two pages together to give it a little more sturdiness.
Here’s a sneak peek 
First I did a few background painting techniques and then I started.
Sometimes I feel finding the time to even paint is a real ‘stretch’ for me! See the stretched out arm? hehe
This one is a little different than my norm, but this guy’s face just popped out, it was ALL there, I just outlined it and shaded a bit with pencil. Very odd, but I couldn’t let this one go without bringing him out!
Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

Those sketchbook pages are wonderful, Darla!
Teesha Moore has a great youtube video about how she makes her sketch books.I made a couple for me and they are really easy.
Fantastic pages I especially like the girl in red.The man looks very mysterious almost as if he is looking through a thin veil.
Stunning Darla!!! Stretch for you? LOL! You are too cute! You know, you should do a smaller book like this and sell it in your store! I think it would be amazing! Oh and I love the guy's face!! Have a great day my friend ;o)
