I have decided to continue sharing some of my doodle practices just because it is what is inspiring the heck out of me right now! Saturday morning I worked in my studio and just played.....It is fun finding inspiration in everything around me!
I carred my art journal around and a few pens including to the barbor shop where my boys got their hair cuts where I sat outside and drew. I excited me to love practicting these techniques and just trust the process. Trust myself. Coloring again.....
Here is the before and after some coloring........
some practicing needed.......
I even tried a tree! (tried is key word but still fun!)
Thanks Joanne Sharpe! I am excited to see how this works it's way into my art.
Thank you weekend! Loved the time with the kids, with friends and in my studio. Perfection in my book all the way around!
"You are alive in an immense world with infinite destinations. Take a moment to remind yourself of this fact. Go outside. Look up at the sky and the clouds or the stars. THIS is the world in which you really live. Breathe it in. Then look at your current situation again."
Are these art journals something you have created? Are they available for sale somewhere? I am new to your page but love the idea of this for my kiddos and myself.

Drop me an email at weinburg@sv-mail as I am not sure what you are interested in. Right now I am enjoying the process of practicing and just learning. My daughter does it with me too. Such a great way to spend the summer!

I would love to purchase a journal of boxes to fill in. It would be great to have pages with spaces to doodle in like in your first picture of this post. What do you think? For sale?????

I usually doodle like that during staff meetings (honestly they are never relevant to half the workforce, I'm not slacking lol) but you've made me think... next time I'll go prepared, I'm going to get a little blank book and set it up like you have, I will be able to waste much more time whilst also making something pretty and doing something I love...result xx

Very nice! what kind of pens or markers do you use for coloring? The sharpies I have always look too dark on the paper, even the ones that are suppossed to be pastel colors
