Thanks for wanting to take a look! However, I don’t know how to share images in replies or DMs. Guess I’ll have to get vulnerable and tag you in a post of my doodles. 😉
my approach then is to doodle on a used (written or printed) piece of paper, and preferably in the only blank corner or the blank reverse side of a sheet. That goes from small figures to shading of surfaces, from drawing with 1 pen stroke to strange scribbles. Just with a pencil or a ballpoint pen. Until after a while I sense what really presents itself and then I concentrate on that. Those warm-ups I keep and some even surface one day as parts of a collage ;)
I smiled reading this. I have the same book, bought (cough) years ago when I was in my early teens and fell in love with Alphonse Mucha’s drawings. (I also had two wonderful long posters.) I still attribute my love of fluid lines and organic shapes to this.
Great idea!
Thank you!
I find your art and suggestions very accessible. Thank you!
You're quite welcome! I hope that you will give it a try!
Love this! I do a similar doodle-style with intersecting lines and no right angles. It’s always meditative to create like this.
Awesome! I'd love to see, if you wouldn't mind sharing.

I didn't realize that you can't share images in comments of a post. Thanks for tagging me in your Note! Thanks for sharing!
Great idea! I’ll definitely try.
Please do, and if you don't mind sharing, I'd love to see what you do!

thanks for your reply. I don't mind, but sharing pics via comments is not an option ;)
I didn't realize that you can't share images in comments on Posts. But I did create a Note about this if you'd like to share there. https://substack.com/@emscottart/note/c-92792882
I adore art nouveau as well! Can't wait to try this one, thanks!
Awesome!

I got to see a big exhibit of his work a few years ago at a local museum. It was amazing to see his work in person.
