in my Sketchbook Moly...Seriously! I asked for suggestions and you gave them.
to add a drop of soap to my wash/paint in an attempt
to break the surface tension of the coated paper.
Well..It worked, sort of...but I think I may have used a wee bit too much
soap as my pigments began to bubble! Seriously!...LOL :)
Happy Cactus Monday All!
May your day "bubble over" with art-filled surprises! :)

Well I guess clean-up was a breeze right? ;) I like it- looks really good :) Are you beginning to feel the love?
I have to admit, I love my WC Moleskine- I have resisted the sketchbook one for the reasons you were not feeling the love, so maybe I need to try it... :)
I love this, it's so much fun...and beautifully painted too!

I love your cleverness! The bubbles add such a touch of whimsy. The big organic prickly pear cactus is a beauty :)

It makes total sense, but I don't think I would have ever thought of that!
Just love everything about this post from the title, the sketch, the story and the form.
