Art journaling ….. Taking doodling further

This fast art journaling practice basically involves a process of fast writing on any salient issue, emotion, bodily sensation or pain in a certain space or page, both horizontally and vertically, and then also, writing a prayer or what we are grateful for over that. The next phase involves covering the words by doodling with paints, markers, pens and pencils and any kind of preferred colouring media. Collage can also be applied.The aim is to We try to remain focused while ‘doodling’ to allow further processing to occur and for more insights to arise. It is fast and messy to encourage drawing outside the lines. In the past I had engaged with a similar process, but I had used inspiring quotes or meditations scripts, which I then covered with fast artwork or/ and doodling.  For these three samples below I have used watercolours, oil crayons and board markers.
