Art tip: Use a doodling pad!

When I am working on painting I use a separate piece of paper to clean the excess paint off the brush before cleaning it with water and to unclog the pens and clean the tips of the pens to remove any acrylic paint it may have picked up from writing over the painting. Sometimes these doodles end up nice and sometimes they don't. I haven't thought of keeping them until today.
Today I bought a sketch pad to use as my "cleaning" pad and this way I can keep those drawings, It ill be interesting to keep it as a log on the color schemes that I have been using. I sometimes try the color schemes before painting anything on the canvas, and all these "notes" get thrown out.
I am terrible at keeping sketchbooks lately. This past year all the sketches and things I do end up as Found Art, and it's been great because I get to keep the online log, but I do really miss having a sketchbook too.
I'll let you see more doodles once I have some more!
