Here is my first entry for Doodle Challenge Week 1 held by @cryptomomma. You can read her post here. Initially I wanted to submit the ones I already have in my sketchbook but I thought I could do better than those. So I decided to draw a new one but I wanted to do it differently this time. I usually painted my stencil art on acrylic background but I never doodle on acrylic surface or collaged background before. I thought it would be good to try it and have fun exploring new thing. You can see my progress photos below.
Preparing the background
I did not plan my painting. I simply followed my intuition and picked the colors that 'spoke' to me at the moment. I used dry brush technique to create that street art look. I usually used this same technique to paint my stencil art.
Preparing the collage
I painted three different colors and patterns on a piece of mixed media paper. I would choose the blue one for this doodle and kept the rest for future projects.
Doodling
I did not plan my doodle. I used my intuition to draw whatever I wanted. I did not want to suppress my creativity if I plan or think too much about the outcome. Doodling should be a stress-free activity. Planning and thinking too much about the end result would defeat the purpose of doodling.

Very cool technique, especially how you layered it (doodles in the background and the foreground). Nice work!

This is sooooo pretty! It's so cool how much you layered in the colors! I don't think people realize what it takes to create something like that <3

Yes and they wonder why paintings are expensive. The materials we used are not cheap. A tube of good quality paint could easily cost more than $20.
