Candace Milner creates “meditative doodles”. Colourful, repetitive patterns that anyone can create. Drawing them relaxes your mind because of their manual, repetitive nature. It’s not only relaxing. The result looks good too.
You can use any writing instrument, analogue or digital. Candace loves fountain pens and inks. Her patterns have previously been used on pen cases by Rickshaw Bags.
Art supplies mentioned:
Tomoe River paper FP (52 gsm) (particularly for fountain pens use, hence “FP”)
Platinum carbon black ink
Sakura poster powder
You can find Candace’s work on Instagram under @pensivecandy

Learn about using alcohol-based inks on Yupo paper with Katy Smeets.
Katy uses inks to create abstract patterns. She uses these as textures for digital art, such as her animal series. No two patterns are the same.

Victoria Lee Connors travels the world creating landscapes made of wool fiber.
Victoria’s landscapes look like paintings from a distance, but are all made from dyed wool. Looking at pictures on the internet we have to imagine the fibrous texture of wool.

Victoria creates these landscapes out in the open, en plein air. She attaches pieces of fiber to a canvas, resting on an easel, just as a landscape painter does.
