Doing doodles provides hours of endless pleasure. I do them in meetings, while watching television, waiting for planes or trains, and sometimes intentionally as an evening art activity.
I’m currently taking doodles I’ve done at work and collaging them on to a large (36″ x 48″) canvas. I have asked people on my team to submit their doodles to add to this piece. None so far.
Here is a doodle I did last night. I start with a black fine-tipped sharpie on a page in my art journal. My newest art journal is larger, so there is room for larger doodles. Then, I go back over it with colored pencils, or in this case, watercolor. I’m using these doodles as an opportunity to explore color mixing and transparency.
This doodle was inspired by some of the glass I saw on Friday night at the Dale Chihuly exhibit at De Young.
