Blocks Of Art

I would like to introduce my latest endeavor.
I call them Blocks of Art.
If you go back a few posts ago,  you might remember that I was experimenting with backgrounds. I was also playing around with doodling. With this new attempt I have put them together!
 
 
The process starts by doodling on  drawing paper.
I use a fine brush tip marker, which allows for varing widths of lines. Then I incorperate different types of pens. I have fun doodling, but tend towards flowers.
 

 I mount the designed papers on blocks of wood of various sizes.

 I present them on small easels. I think they are so cute.
 They fit nicely on a  bookshelf or anywhere.
They will soon appear in my ETSY store.

Doodles and Beyond...


I start out making my own backgrounds. I find it fun using liquid watercolors, they are messy but I like the way they turn out.


 
I also use different textures of paper, watercolor color paper is my favorite.
Each paper gives a different look.


 
I use different thickness of markers and pens.


 Brush tip markers are fun to use.

 
You can use different kinds of colored inks.

 
Color makes a difference.

 
Give it a try. The possibilities are endless.
