A Peek In My Sketchbook: Fun Llama Portraits
It is true, the llamas may just be taking over, but I can’t complain as they are just as cute as can be! After paintng a llama for Chanukah, and a llama portrait, I just had to record this llama phase in my sketchbook, and ended up creating a whole llama spread, which is such a fun surprise as one flips through the book. Animal portraits are all the rage, photography wise, but I think they are cute as can be when painted and approached in a more artful manner, which is what you can see here. I have placed my llamas in the Hula Valley, one of my favorite…

How To Paint A Simple Dove With A Vintage Vibe
Wondering what to paint in your sketchbook? Wondering if you can use paint in your sketchbook? You have come to the right place!

The main thing is to realize that the pages will first of all buckle (I was thinking of trying to iron them) and that you will want to use paint that is not runny or watery.

With cooler weather and lots of rain to boot at last a reality in my little corner of the world, my winter clothing themed crafts this year at last make a bit more sense decorating our home! I recently saw a tiny bit of clip art in a local ad that lead to this page in my sketchbook, in which I figured out how to draw adorable knit hats and mittens, with ribs and cables to boot! I do knit a bit, so it does help to know what knits actually look like. If you do not knit and you want to have a go at drawing some of these…

A Peek In My Sketchbook: An Abstract Pear and Peonies!
Yes dear readers, I am back on the road with my my sketchbook/art journal journey which took a short hiatus due to all the Jewish holiday preparations and celebrations. I have to admit, I REALLY missed drawing and painting, which came as a huge surprise to me, as the only specific creative activity I recall missing during the holidays is crocheting! So,apparently the painting/drawing journey has taken a hold on me, and I am downright pleased, as this means that I can easily hop back on the wagon and continue filling my art journals with paintings and drawings. It is true, painting in a sketchbook with paper that is meant…
