Convo © Sue O’Kieffe 2009
I bought a new sketchbook on Friday made by BeePaper. I like this premium recycled paper. Sharpie marks lie down well. Prismacolor doesn’t go on quite as smooth as with the Canson sketch book I had before, but that’s ok. The book is a little bit smaller, which makes it easier to hold onto, cuz I mostly doodle in bed.
When I color my doodles, what I really like is imagining the conversations the colors are having with each other. Ultramarine shouts out Hey Violet Blue, you look pretty mysterious. Wanna hang out for a while? Aquamarine gives Neon Pink a high five and cheers Smashing. Lavendar whispers to Turquoise Here’s looking at you, kid.
Can you hear them too?
And Magenta says “Can I play? Can I play”…..Wow! Sue this is beautiful!! All these colors are so bright and obviously play together very well 😀 😀
I haven’t found anything as powerful as art therapy in all my years dealing with mental illness.
and even artists need therapy …thanks for stopping by, Kyle
I see I really very seriously need to get a smaller art pad ans ome colored pens and get down to business. You are driving me crazy with these doodles.
have fun, irene
