Last month we had a lot of fun doing the 21 Doodle Days through Diane Bleck’s Doodle Institute. The course is no longer free but there’s still a fun way to join in the doodle fun this summer. Diane has a new app called DoodleTV and we are having summer camp together! It is 12 weeks of doodling together. There are 4 lessons and then we get together for a “fireside chat” on Fridays. Diane featured my doodles during the chat and in her email which was a fun surprise. There are also weekly prizes so that’s a bonus. Below are some of what I posted inside the Doodle Girl + Friends FB group. People are so creative though!! If you’re not on FB, but you’re on IG, check out the #doodleinstitute hashtag.
Coming soon: A link to posts for our summer 2020 series blog posts!
But for now, join Diane and lots of doodling friends for summer camp!

When it comes to creative stuff that’s drawing/art related, I (mom Joyce) am not that great. I usually can copy what someone else shows me to do but I can’t really come up with my own concepts and scenes. So it’s natural that doodling is something we would do. I wasn’t sure if the girls wanted to share some of their doodles but if they do, I guess you’ll see them here. š
A work-in-progress šµļø
Laughter is good for the soul, right? I cracked myself up as I drew and colored these today. These are some giant vases or tiny flowers. I look forward to practicing and improving for sure. š
Good conversations with my girls as we doodled together.
Doodled with some music and practiced harmonizing with my girls (they miss attending in-person choir rehearsals)
We played some instrumental music as we doodled and that was a nice way to end the week. Finished the flower lessons and excited for the chat tomorrow!
Next time I write a verse or a quote on the page, I think I’ll use a thinner marker or my *Micron pens.
