From Doodling for Papercrafters (#4313)
The doodler's basic swirl has many variations. You can elongate it, shorten it, or only swirl one end. You can keep curling the end in smaller circles like a whirlpool or make it big and broad, as large as you like. Take a look at the examples on our Free Projects page, give them a try, and see which ones feel good to you. Practicing really pays off with swirls.

From Art Made Easy: Painting Nature (#22628)
- Decide which painting technique is best for you. Beginner level designs, such as the Koi Circle, are easier to paint by painting all the areas of the same color at one time. Advanced level designs, such as the Time for Tulips, are easier to paint working from the background to the foreground. You can paint the designs in this book using either technique.
- Always use fresh paint. If your paint begins to dry out, stir it with a toothpick. If it gets too thick, add water, one drop at a time, until paint is thinned or apply a new puddle of paint on your palette.
- For large areas, paint along the outline of the area with a small brush, then fill in the area with a large flat brush. Hint: Painter's tape placed along a border will help ensure a straight, even line.
