Doodle in Color

If you’re a quilter, you LOVE color. So let’s add a little color to our doodles!  Instead of black pens on white paper try doodling with a colored pen, pencil or marker.

Return to the previous doodling tutorials for inspiration:

Scallops

Tapered Scallops

Circles

Circles  and Lines

Watercolors

Another way to add color to your doodles is with water color pencils or watercolor paint.

I doodled my all time favorite motif, Flower Power with Inktense Pencils.

I also have a very nice set of Caran D’ache Museum Aquarelle watercolor pencils that I love!)

It’s really fun to draw with pencils then brush over with water to reveal the magic!

After the water dried, I doodled over the flowers with a permanent ink pen like Uniball Vision.

Double doodle!  First doodle with colored pencils, then doodle with black ink.

More Flowers

After doodling Flower Power, I tried my luck with Nora’s Rose.

A New Tutorial?

I don’t have a tutorial for this messy flower…Coming soon!?

Doodle A Day

Be sure to doodle every day–and when you can stitch your doodles!

Stay busy and stay well!

Your adventurous doodler,

Lori
