Love these doodles. Here in South Africa we are going into winter, so starting to get chilly and cloudy. Enjoy the sun.

I love your channel Cate! I am from Wichita,Ks. U.S. We are in spring except every year we get less spring & Fall weather and a lot of winter and summer. We always have windy days. Lately we have severe wind warnings. I will never enjoy that much wind unless I am flying a kite with my grandchildren. We have been getting 50mph wind lately.

Thank you :) I hope you're ok with the wild weather... I live by the sea and we get the south westerly winds, but nothing too severe most of the time... 50mph is very strong. Stay safe x

Hi Cate, oh how I look forward to your Monday and Friday channel, thank you! I hope it does well for you❣️Your talented way of teaching and your enthusiasm have made me pullout my grandkids crayons and old composition books. I look forward to whatever you are able to share. You breakdown the steps beautifully ❤

[@CateField]

Thank you so much! What a lovely comment. I am very pleased that I've inspired you, and I hope to see you again soon x

You are so welcome, thank you 🙏

Wonderful lesson and the lessons within the lesson particularly about drawing freehand which is the most fun anyway. I always draw stars freehand and they have more character than measured ones. Watching each vortex I could see other ways to use them. Inspiring. And so much fun! Glad the sun is out in Dorset. It's out here in Mississippi, too.

[@CateField]

Thank you for your lovely comment... you are absolutely right, a bit of freehand drawing adds to the uniqueness of a piece. Yay... sunshine :)

[@edithmackriel6993]

Hi Cate, thank you for showing us your beautiful creations. Would you frame a piece of doodling or is just to show to practice tonal values?

[@CateField]

Thank you... it's a great question... sometimes I really like a doodle and will develop it further into a final piece :)

[@susanmarcoux7005]

Kate, you have the 2 largest areas going in the same direction. Did you mean to do that? or..

[@CateField]

Hah! No... probably not! Thank you for your comment :) I try to be very free at the start of a composition and see what happens...

[@maestra730]

Cate what brand of pencils are they please?

[@sheilacym]

Cate did say that she was using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils, but you could use any coloured pencils that you like.

[@rayleneberryman7673]

Oh thank you. I had a pesky headache so concentration was so good. I thought that was what they looked like. So kind of you to reply.

[@sheilacym]

Hope you are feeling better !
