This Doodle Hack Will Change Your Watercolor Life — if you let it

If you’re struggling to get started in art, if progress is slower than you hoped, or if you are experiencing a creative block, I have a solution for you, and it’s just one word — DOODLE! I found the simplicity of creating all kinds of doodles really unlocked my creativity and today, I’m going to share my jailbreaking process with you! Plus, I’m going to show you how to make your own simple, stitched Daily Doodle book, which takes seconds and costs pennies! Watch me paint the next page in this sketchbook: https://youtu.be/cvT0XFhRQQ4 Doodle inspiration from ​⁠@creationsceecee ​⁠@LauraHornArt and Kate Rebecca Leach (@essoldodesign on Instagram) and many others over the years!
