Instead of "copying" something, such as a portrait or still life or landscape I wanted to surprise myself and create something new. I used a drawing technique I learned from Milliande. She calls it a free form investigation sketch.
Here is an example:
It's fun . When I start I don't know what it is I am painting. I love the fact that slowly something comes to life.
This week my doodles became a moondance, a composer and a statue. The statue isn't finished but I wanted to show it anyway.
I really want to learn to tell a story, not just copy something. I want to find my own style and meaning. This is my favorite technique to learn just that.
