Finishing Up Some Decorative Doodles

On Sunday I posted about the Decorative Doodling class I took with Joanne Sharpe and I showed you the doodles I had started.  You'll never guess what I've been working on this week. LOL

Here are the first two I have finished. I really love the upper right part of the top page.  I think the left side of that one got a bit too busy and 'heavy' compared to the right side.

Looking at the bottom image, I've decided that if I plan to add colour I need to keep the petals on the flowers simpler.  It looking fine as a black and white doodle, but when I started painting them it just got crazy.  Maybe it's also my colour choice. I do like the little coloured 'pebbles' (bottom rt corner and left side), and I like the contrast of the black and white stripes and checks with all the colour on the page.

    These are great Linda! Funny how we all see something different....I don't see anything wrong with these. I like your busy flowers and the asymmetrical composition. I hope to meet Joanne in April in St. Petersburg. I will for sure take her doodling class if I can get in.

      Thanks Sharon! And so you should. I recently heard a wonderful 'Ted Talk' about doodling and it's really good for us! Here's the link: http://www.ted.com/talks/sunni_brown.html
