Doodle Your FEELINGS | Art That Helps You Breathe

In this calming abstract tutorial, we create a four‑panel oblong grid filled with expressive mark‑making using Kuretake Graphite watercolours, shimmering gold accents, bright pink Posca pops, and delicate black fineliner doodles. We begin by taping down watercolour paper and dividing it into four long oblong sections. Each panel becomes its own little world as we add loose graphite marks—sweeps, patches, broken strokes, and textured washes. Once dry, we layer in gold watercolour to bring warmth and light to the matte graphite tones. Next, we introduce bright pink Posca details for contrast and energy, followed by fine black linework to tie everything together. The doodling stage becomes a mindful moment—slow, repetitive, grounding. It’s a gentle way to quiet the mind, reconnect with creativity, and enjoy the simple pleasure of making marks. ‪@HayleyRobertsArt‬ This project is perfect for: artists who love abstract mark‑making fans of graphite, metallics, and bold accent colours anyone seeking a mindful, meditative creative practice mixed‑media artists exploring contrast and texture A simple, expressive grid that blends structure with play—modern, moody, and full of personality.
