I love the ocean and its beaches... driftwood, sea stone, tide pools, birds, the smell of salt on the air... wish I could insert some of that smell into the painting as well! We shall see how this all turns out on this smooth illustration board - but it is something else for creating rock texture. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05743900480139515536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981842043164199296.post-22329605825187043422009-09-02T19:28:47.172-06:002009-09-02T19:28:47.172-06:00Hi Liz,

In fact, I bought another couple of boards in different sizes! Of course, I have plans for those as well...<br /><br />Take care of yourself, Liz. Here's a big hug for you.

And yes - I suppose security would have been quite puzzled as to why I had small smooth stones in my luggage! Maybe if I also had a slingshot they would have thought it was for self defense.

When you add fog, then there is such a sense of mystery - almost like being in a mystery novel. :-) If you like smooth press watercolor paper, you are going to love illustration board! Do try it!

I can just picture you tucking rocks into your suitcase. Anyone who didn't know you would think that you were a nut job. Well, you might be that, but you're MY talented nut job.

I always use hot press watercolor paper because I like the smoothness and how easy it is to lift paint. (I make a lot of mistakes :) ) It sounds like I will have to get some illustration board and give that a try!Lee Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695324817551526765noreply@blogger.com
