Self-Study Class Includes Lifetime Access, Online Community & More!

Grow your doodles into full-fledged paintings! Author Diane Culhane (“If You Can Doodle, You Can Paint”) encourages you to respect the artistic signature encoded in your individual doodling style and shows you how to expand them into larger works of art. You’ll doodle-mine for treasure, take a doodle larger, layer in color with pencil and acrylics, and use a compositional grid as the foundation for your final 20” x 16” acrylic painting.

Now available as a self-study class.

TEACHER: Diane Culhane

Class Description

Doodle your way into a big painting! Doodling is really just mark making… marks that happen when you are otherwise occupied.

These marks that flow from you naturally while you are doodling can be an expression of your style, like your handwriting. In this class we will look at our doodles as resources; treasures from which we can create full-sized paintings.

Even if you don’t consider yourself a doodler, the exercises and techniques in this class will give you a fun way to tap into your personal style.

We will:

  • Dig for treasure/doodle
  • Observe & Arrange & Study
  • Make folded books for doodle-ready surfaces
  • Copy your images with hand/eye coordination
  • Scan & enlarge your doodles
  • Add color combinations with colored pencil & acrylic paint
  • Create compositional grid paintings, and
  • Create a Large Do-o-dle Painting!!

Please join me!
