My head was still groggy from bed rest & medication so I did the next best thing.....I picked up the following book by Joanne Fink and New Design Originals Corporation, www.d-originals.com, found at your local book store...
Most of you reading this blog are familiar with the Zen doodling books that have saturated the creative stores book shelves over a few years. I found this one a while back because I was drawn to the inspirational phrases in each of it's pages. I picked the following page and made a copy...
Then I added color....it got my creative juices going.....and I liked the idea of coloring...
As I searched the web, I stumbled upon Johanna Basford's coloring books for adults. She has some beautiful illustrations and you may find her coloring books at most creative stores that sell books. Go to her website at www.johannabasford.com to see her beautiful work, blog, coloring gallery, etc. I came across one of her illustrations of a watering can with color and flowers and swirls pouring out. I liked it so much that I decided I would sketch my own watering can & add my own drawings. Below is what I came up with.....this was an exercise in relaxation and yet made me feel like I was being creative.......
Coloring first done with Sharpie markers then, filled in the color with colored pencils....
Today's post was just about simple doodling and adding a lot of color...
Hope you enjoyed reading this...
Until next time......and hopefully a little more often...
