Hello Doodlers!
This has been such a fun class to create! I love watercolor, and I hope that everyone is
as excited about it as I am. There are some fun tips and tricks in this video. I honestly usually only doodle in watercolor inside my sketchbook, but recently I have noticed many artists creating artwork using doodles as an element of their work. My artwork is naturally pretty realistic in nature, I do however also create a lot of whimsical paintings of fairies and mermaids. In the past couple of years I've been creating many multimedia works and abstracts. I believe I keep changing and evolving and learning because I think we all need to have a creative outlet. I also think it's beneficial to change it up once in a while and try new things as I believe it helps us to grow artistically. So be bold, do what you love to do - what you are drawn to do. We are all artists in our own way and we should celebrate that by creating what we love.
I do not have a printable for you this week BUT... because I'm going to miss
creating lessons I might just slip a couple extra printables on the site next week.
So check back in next week and I will also email you if (when) I do.
Thanks so much for joining me on my little Watercolor Doodle journey.
Take care, and I hope you keep watercoloring & doodling too!
