Hi everyone, hope your week has been good! A post today of week 2 of the free 'Doodles Unleashed' online course I'm doing at Strathmore and week 2 was all about doodling with a variety of water colour mediums, using found objects, templates etc., hand made stamps from foam which I did using a cut glass bowl to make an imprint in some cut and dry stamp pad foam for the mark making. The second lesson definitely had a different feel to it and produced the A3 piece below. The point of the lesson being to cut down the piece and develop it to use in other projects, finding doodles within the doodles I suppose. I've made the canvas and the tag above and it's interesting to see how each piece takes on a completely different life once it's been cut down, I still have pieces left over too. Below is the A3 watercolour piece I made. This is actually week three of the course but the piece won't be used until next week's lesson where we'll be using it as a base for collage and a painted girlie girl :)...............well hopefully girlie anyway, not much drawing practice going on here lately!
I'm entering my canvas and tag into Simon Says Stamp where this week the theme is 'anything but a card'.
Enjoy your evening :)

Groovy! Were you on acid when you created the first piece? I am picturing you sitting cross legged in a kaftan with a joss stick wafting smoke across the room.
Beautiful tag.

Chris, your piece is really really cool! I love all of your vivid colors and then the white just POPS!! I love all three projects that you're featuring right now on your blog. Great technique! Thanks for showing us your art at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
Wow Chris, that first one sure is psychedelic. Gorgeous colors.
The tag is so beautiful as is the bottom piece. I always loved this green and purple together. I've never tried this before but I am always doodling so should give it a go. Love all of them Chris.
