As an illustrator, ever been, well, just stuck?
That expensive piece of watercolor paper just dares you to 'mess it up'?
No ideas come to mind? The hours tick by and nothing (productive or otherwise) comes?
The ink dries in your hand held, in-the-air, ready-to-draw-in-an-instant-upon-inspiration pen?
When nothing 'works', try (what I've labeled) Blobification.
Illustrator Carla Sonheim has several playful books out (visit her at carlasonheim.com!) from which I have selected The Blob to play with. It's just so much fun that I wanted to share it (and give Carla all the credit for the idea).
Directions are simple (even an adult can do this). Immerse watercolor brush in lots of color. Smudgie onto paper, leaving white spot in it somewhere. Let dry. Take dog for a walk. Return. Take dry paper, rotate. Expect.
Then.
Go big. Risk an entire sheet. Really.

Thank you, Carla.
