I tried some papers from drawing paper to watercolor paper. I just recently bought hot press paper and it seems to handle the kind of effect I want to achieve.
I just signed up to Sketchbook Project. It'll be my next priority after I completely finish my Poltergeist inspired painting and some stuff for my upcoming show in November in CT. The project is a bit challenging for me since I don't always sketch my ideas. Sometimes I would sketch into my moleskine, draw it and transfer it, but mostly I just draw it and transfer it into canvas. The main reason is that I like to maintain the excitement of exploring my fresh ideas...if that even makes sense:)
We'll see how my sketchbook will turn out, but for now it's still a mystery:)
Random bits around the studio

Latest progress of the painting
There are two more paintings in progress. One of them still need more love and the other is still in underpainting (first stage) I will post more when I get a chance.

hello hello! Ooh paintings everywhere!! I love to see glimpses of the desk of the artist ^_^.
How cool that you have a new show in November! Would love to see that some day!
I have an account at ArtHouse Coop and I was thinking to participate in the Sketchbook project, but decided to do it in the near future. For some reason when I'm forced to fill pages in a book, I can't draw like I'm used too. I guess I need to make the switch to just draw, but I hate to make mistakes. Well not hate, but I'm not that comfortable just yet to just sketch and draw. Not in a sketchbook like Moleskine anyway haha. I need to be able to rip the page out if it goes wrong haha. So that's why I need to practice a bit more.
Love your posts Heidi!!
Xoxo
Sweet Tahira, it's always a joy to see your response:)
I can totally relate with what you said about forced to fill pages. It's still a challenge for me since most of the time when I have a cool idea, I'll just draw it.
The paper in the book is really thin unlike the normal moleskine....another challenge:)
Thanks for showing us little bits and pieces of your studio! I also like looking into other people's creative spaces!
Your latest painting is coming along nicely.
thanks so much for checking out, Jaz:)
