Doodle all the day

6/26/2015

I have been loving the art journal backgrounds that I created in the online class I took. I love the idea of pulling color combinations from life and mixing them up in new ways. The background above was inspired by a geometric print throw pillow I saw. But once I saw the colors in my journal, I knew that the pages needed an octopus.

And this page was just where I was getting rid of excess paint that was on my brayer. But how great does this pelican go with those shades of green?

And lastly, I received this gem in the mail on the same day that I got a gift of sharpies from a dear friend.

I am enjoying working my way through the compositional prompts. I have some ideas for holiday gifts that need a little polish and I think once I get through this book I will be good to go.

What are you working on?
