First of the year doodles! One of my favorite things to do when I don't feel like making anything in particular is just doodle. I painted over the watercolor doodle I did earlier in December and once that was dry I drew over it in gold pen. When I was teaching kids this was a great exercise. It strengthens eye hand coordination, teaches you how to , shows you relationships between shapes, and helps you discern color gradation and changes. It's really fun to do! Just paint a bunch of colorful blobs, about 3 layers deep, and then look for shapes, lines and color variations and outline those in a contrasting pen. It looks like a map!…..#watercolorstudy #doodlesofinstagram #inkdrawing #creativityforlife #artinstruction #maker #pdxoregon #2017goals #tw #artvideo #oddlysatisfying #studiolife #pdxartist
