This is a combo of Dina Wakley's intuitive painted layers and brings in the use of light modeling paste used in Christy Tomlinson's videos. Again - scribbled with a water soluble black pencil - painted the shapes and background and then looked for something to paint. I immediately saw these 3 fish after I looked for a while. I painted, stenciled with paint and modeling paste, wrote on the fish, added glass bead gel, and some old dictionary text. This is really a kitchen sink painting! The colors are vibrant and I love the layers. It's kind of like there are secrets all through the painting.
Below is one of the crazy doodle pages I did after watching Diana Trout's video. I have doodled before - but I was more focused on a Zentangle kind of doodle where the pattern is so important. Here I just covered the entire page with a continuous line - I curved and zigged and zagged - but never crossed over any line. I kind of did my own take on it next - just filling in some pattern and looking for recognizable shapes. I love this exercise because it is a great, completely stress free pre-drawing exercise and also because it is so relaxing! What fun!!!
