Last night we had a beautiful young lady whom I have drawn before - Chantelle. She came in her prom dress and I decided to pull out the paints. I fought the surface like mad all night and really need to prep boards for painting weeks in advance as this was just too absorbent and just sucked the paint in like crazy and I had a devil of a time pushing anything back and forth.

Still, there are things I like about it, so here it is.
