Promoting Freedom for Creative Architecture
There's always something exciting lurking around the corner for artists. For Mary Doodles, this eminent artist, the buzz came from her delightful exploration of acrylic gouache.
For years, traditional gouache had been a challenge. However, the discovery of acrylic gouache was a game changer for Mary. This newfound love budding within the artist took over her Instagram feed, flooded with enchanting paintings made with acrylic gouache.
Mary took her boredom to the next level by turning her old sketchbook into an experimental canvas for her recent passion – acrylic gouache.
For Mary, a sketchbook cover isn't just another page. It is akin to a sacred day marked for celebration. Decorating it was her unique way of merry-making. Using a blend of analogous colors, Mary played around with blends, splatters, and flower print patterns, turning the cover into a canvas expressing joy and elation.
Mary handpicked a versatile travel sketchbook from Speedball and gave it an interesting twist with her acrylic gouache paintings. Using a Pentel pocket brush pen, she crafted a bold cartoon-like pattern on layers of acrylic paint.
Amid the stress and tribulations, Mary found respite in strengthening her bond with acrylic gouache. Creating art became a therapeutic process, allowing her to let loose and immerse herself in creativity.
Her creativity translated into interesting characters on the cover. Wolf-like figures, floral doodles, and a much simpler mushroom design on the back cover marked her collection.
Mary cleverly used a Krylon matte finish to shield the paint. However, for a more vibrant and visually appealing look she switched to gloss spray.
Mary's present excitement over the new Sketchbook transcends into her future plans. Offering her audient membership options for bonus Sketchbook videos and her plans to regularly upload Sketchbook videos are the highlights of her upcoming endeavors.
Mary encourages her viewers to voice their opinions, ideas, and suggestions. As a firm believer in engagement, she extends her heartfelt gratitude to her viewers, subscribers, and members for their support and is excited to share more art in the Sketchbook.

The process unravels through stages viz., selecting a sketchbook, sketching out cover ideas, actual painting, finalizing the design and finally attaching the cover back on. The process is personalized, suiting individual preferences and creative boundaries.
Decorating sketchbook covers opens up infinite possibilities. Be it sticker decoration, collage decoration, or even acrylic paint decoration, these techniques give an opportunity to make sketchbook covers more inspiring and unique.
