I received a Sacchi tri-fold portfolio with paper and colored pencils in it as a Christmas gift. The portfolio is turquoise. I love it. I have started to carry it with me in order to have art supplies available when I feel creative.
Last night, on the way home on the train, I took it out and doodled while I listened to Anita Shreve’s book A Wedding in December. First I doodled the designs that are stamped on the edge of the pencils, then I drew some blocks. I felt so out of practice. It was hard to doodle. I need practice.
I am glad I took the Liz Berg class, because hopefully, it will get me going. Not sure if I will be able to create an idea journal like Liz’s but I can do what I can do.
Good for you. It is so important to the creative process to do things like doodling when you simply draw what you will. Kind of like improvisation in music. Let yourself go now and then. Explore and expand your creative boundaries.
I haven’t figured out the best method yet, but am working on it. It will just have to be a process and develop.
