Iā€™ll be out of town, so Iā€™ll have to miss this one.

this was a notebook I used to wipe off excess paint so it wasnā€™t wasted. so I had some color on the pages but they werenā€™t done by any means. I cut them and then added more color and will do more art as time goes on. I saved the extra pieces I cut out to add as fold outs on other pages.

Some people I think really plan out their ideas ahead of time.

here are some really cool examples

She also does white dots in the black lines like @curiousfae was talking about

Thanks @geekgirl, that was a really relaxing one. I used up a bunch of old paint sitting on my watercolour palettes.

I like how you have almost made them into something organic like stones with your lines!

Yes! Almost like looking through water to the bottom of a pond or something!

I decided to leave one just as it is so I can remember the lesson.

The second, I doodled really fast.

A very relaxing lessonā€¦and it really did open up to a whole wave of ideas for future pieces!


Thanks, Carleeā€¦for finding fun and instructive videos and lessons! Always nice to see everyone!

I agree, this was fun and meditative and great to see everyone!

Looks like we were twinning in our color selections!

I love your little card-size oneā€¦itā€™s always nice to scale down these lessons to be able to make something to send out or give away! It does look like a catā€¦if you are into Picasso, Carlee!! :rofl:

Love all these!
This was really nice. I hope to do more videos with you all.

That was the stippling video I watched @geekgirl. Gave me some good ideas.

Iā€™m on the road but will post something as soon as I can.
