day five is sick!! I love the contrast you developed.

Wow, that Day 5 pattern is mesmerizing and has a bit of an Art Deco feel to it too. Gorgeous shape fill too, makes me think of swimming at sunset, beautiful colors!

Lovely compositions... draws you in.

I really like the concept of your course, using art in a non-pressuring kind of way to de-stress. It works!

And my doodles are digital with a watercolor paper background.
