Thank you to everyone who posted for a chance to win one of five class spots! Diane and I were both overwhelmed with the response and can’t thank you enough.
The winners were chosen and they are: Ann Shaver, Deme, Irene Rafael, Dee Levang, and intheshadowofhiswings. Congratulations!
Diane’s new class is open for registration! In this class you will start with tiny doodles and end up with two large paintings! Diane demonstrates from start-to-finish how she completes the first two paintings below. This class celebrating the release of her first book, If You Can Doodle, You Can Paint! Congratulations, Diane!
The Doodle & the Painting
Instructor: Diane Culhane
5-week class • 11 lessons
$165
Class Dates: May 2 – June 6, 2017
This class is about growing our doodles into large 30″x30″ paintings. We all have natural creative impulses, and our simplest drawings contain everything we need to to start (and finish!) big wonderful paintings.
The process I will teach comes from my own journey and we will go step by step from tiny drawings to completed works.
I am excited to share my discoveries about how to take what is already in you — your imagery, your marks, your voice (your DOODLE style!) — and give it direction and intent.
In this painting class we will work with line quality, color mixing, composition and design. I hope it will feed you, fill you up, and make you long for more exploration into your doodles and harvest the gold that is already inside of you.
If you’ve taken the first class, Doings of a Do-o-dle, you’ve already made a start… and this class will continue to take you deeper into your own self expression.
I hope you will join me!
Buckets of Joy,
Diane Culhane

I love Diane Culhane’s classes!
Deb said:
I would so love to take her class to loosen up my creative juices and my art! I want my work to be more exciting to look at and to do!
Nancy Williams said:
I want to doodle paint like Paul Klee, Joan Miro & Diane Culhane. It would be the boost to my summer break I would love to enjoy!
Thanks for the opportunity. 🙂
Jodi said:
I have been teaching art to Pre-school-adults for 22 years. I feel I am in a rut sometimes. I love to doodle and Zentangle, but not sure how to teach it. I’ve never felt comfortable with abstract art. I would love an opportunity to enhance my teaching and go where I am not comfortable going with my art.
Dawn Wiley said:
For my Students!
Jennevieve said:
Would love a chance at a class! I usually spend my time making black and white illustrations for coloring sheets and maps, very refined and strict–an opportunity to play with looser lines and paint sounds like a lovely change of pace.
Lori Shoemaker said:
I would love to learn to doodle draw. There are so many times when I get the urge to do something with a pen and paper. Usually I just end up writing random thoughts or words. It would he amazing if I could turn that into doodling.
Laura Lee said:
I would love to start some formal artistic training
Jeanne Aloia said:
OH MY GOODNESS! My brain could truly benefit from activation!
Jane Wherry said:
Would love to be chosen for one of the ‘Doodle’ slots. Keeping fingers crossed:) Diane—good luck with your new class and new book.

would love to try my hand at doodle/painting. can’t wait to see the book
Molly Anthony said:
Thank you for the chance to win! I’d love to learn techniques for giving new life to my doodles. I’ve also been working very small lately so I’d love the challenge of working much larger.
Sally Smith said:
I just started the Japanese Art of Overcoming Laziness a couple of weeks ago and am so excited. I spend 1 minute each day at the same time doing something & I chose Doodles ! And I’m getting drawn in and excited by what’s turning up and want to know where to take my doodles because I can feel my minute wanting to grow longer. Love, love, love Diane’s classes.
suzanne walz said:
I love Diane’s work and doodles. I have taken Doings of a doodle, and would love to practice and learn to “go big”. I hope to win one of the 5 spots in your class Diane😃🎨🎨🎨
Carie Frabotta said:
I would LOVE to win a spot in this class! I went to my first in person painting workshop a few weeks ago and really felt like I “could” be a painter! Then, when I got home I saw Diane’s work on your site and I just gasped! I immediately ordered her book and just love the concept of doodles becoming a painting and would love to stay in the groove and go through this class to really begin to let my new found artist self emerge!
Dorothy Clement said:
I saw Diane’s book and thought this is right up my alley! I would love to be a winner of 1 of 5 spots!
Wendy said:
‘If you can Doodle, you can Paint’ I love the sound of that! This looks like a wonderful course. Thank you 🎨🍃💐
Lynn Fisher said:
I draw Zentangles and would like to take it up a notch.
Kat said:
I think if I take a class I will be more disciplined to go into my studio. Thanks for the chance to win a class.
Helen said:
Would love to win class. I have been drawing/doodling for my daughter as lunch box notes for 2 years now. I would love a class to improve on my drawing for her. Hope I win.
Colourmegone said:
Loved your first classes and still use your doodle and watch tv, read a book or chat on the phone using one continuous line 🙂
Some very interesting shapes and images appear.
djwest36 said:
I would absolutely LOVE, LOVE to take this class! I took the first one and absolutely LOVED it! I love Diane’s teaching style I already have the book and have been playing around with the exercises. (Unfortunately, the cost is a little too much from me right now). I have my fingers crossed! Thank you for offering a chance!
Susan said:
Because this looks fun!
Paige said:
I’d love to take this class because I do a lot of doodles and undeveloped drawings and although I would like to take them further because I like the lines or shapes, I don’t really know how to go about doing that, so this class seems like it would be the perfect solution for me!
Kate Kaminski said:
I am interested in taking this class because I love to doodle, but never get past the random scribbles on random surfaces, and also because I have an eight year old who is already so hung up on perfection. I would love to share an open style with her.
Sandra J. said:
Hi Diane and Carla and Steve
Thank you so much for this opportunity! I love Dianes art, her way of teaching, her enthusiasm and joy for colors is very inspiring! I took tje first “Doodle-class” (actually nearly all of her classes! 😊) and would love to go to the next step.
And the “Carla-classes-community” is one of a kind, I can highly recommend her courses.
Best of luck for all (and me!😬)
Sandra J.
Kris Kennedy said:
I completed the 2015 year with Carla and it was great…I work mostly in pen and ink, do mixed media, but i continue to be challenged with letting go with my art, very controlled. I am aware and work with myself, but the format and large scaling is intriguing and sounds challenging. I would love to take rhe class.
Monica Oliveira said:
I took the first Doodle class and, hopefully,I will take The Doodle and the Painting! I love Diane and the first class was amazinng
lynn said:
I would love to expose my 10 year old daughter to some formal art training as she loves art but is hesitant to take her first class!
Caroline Clark said:
I love the idea of using a doodle as inspiration for a creating fine art! I have taken Diane’s first doodle class, and it was excellent!! All of her classes are well thought out/designed and 100% delightful. I also love that this is a 5-week class!
Jeanne McCarthy said:
Would love to take this class. It sounds like a great starting point for me.
Tina W. said:
I’d like to see how I can move from making a doodle to making a doodle into art.

Bethany said:
Would love the opportunity to learn from Diane and to set my creativity free. Thank you for the chance to win a spot. Good luck to everyone 🙂
UrAlly said:
one on my many joys returning to using my creative side that needs a lot of rejuvenating. Thanks for the nudge !!!!
Lisa Thorne said:
I’m fascinated with ‘in the flow’ painting, with when a line is just a line and when there’s line quality and Diane’s sketch book pics are some of the happiest and most engaging in my feed! Would love a go at this 🙂
Inez Wennekes said:
Yes! I really love this!
therese said:
i got the book!
Rose said:
I think I need permission to doodle and for it NOT to be any THING! I get WAY too caught up in realism! Help! 🙂
Jeanne said:
Because I can’t draw! Doodle yes, draw no.
nlharty said:
I believe that doodling is the very first step to any great art. It helps you work out a problem, it can give you the confidence to move on to something big and is a great stress reliever!
Vivienne Bradshaw said:
I am intrigued by the way a doodle can become such a complex and multi-layered image and would like to try and achieve this myself. It looks like a whole lot of fun as well!
Jodi Thomas said:
I would love to be considered for the FREE registration opportunity! I am a HS art educator and I am always looking for new ways of working and sharing these skills with my students. Thank you for your consideration!
Gloria J Fuller said:
I need help to guide high schooler’s who continue to say, “I can’t draw” or ” I can’t paint”. They lack confidence or compare themselves to others.
Francine perri said:
I am always interested in learning something new. This would definitely broaden my horizons
Thanks for the chance
Meghan M Lewis said:
Because I am currently stuck and art has always been my way of getting unstuck. I think this could be the catalyst I need!
Carol Kinsley said:
Would love to win this class. I am a doodler from way back and the class looks great
quiltknit said:
I want to participate because I am Retiring from the Corporate World and will never work outside my World again! My world is art and I can grow from this exceptional Doodle Class with Painting.
Deborah Conklin said:
I’m just starting my painting journey. I’m currently taking the Stained Glass Tree course on line and having a blast. I would love to take this class to expound on my very very basic skills.
bird810 said:
I absolutely love to doodle! I have my whole life! I get some of my best ideas that way! And I’ve heard doodling is good for focus. Would so love to win this class!
GinaVisione said:
I’d love to share in this Doodle Extravaganza :D. Thank you for the offer to take the class. I feel my doodles have been “stuck” :D, and would love to learn to bring them to a new level!
Diane Richer said:
I need more creativity in my life, this looks like a perfect remedy
Hobby Parent Artist said:
This looks like fun! Its fun to doodle and it wakes up my creative juices. I love learning new techniques and the photos for this class are wonderful Thanks for the giveaway and good luck to everyone! ~Hobby
Susanne Deierlein said:
Diane is an awesome teacher and her way of transforming a little doodle into a magical and big piece of art is stunning!
Becky Cunningham said:
I would love a chance to win a free spot in this class because I love to doodle, and I think I can incorporate Diane’s techniques in teaching my elementary age students, who also love doodling!
L. Johnstone said:
Would love to take this class since I am forever doodling in my notebooks…it would be great to learn how to transform them into paintings!
Laura Wolfe said:
I love the idea of using our “inner doodle wisdom” to create larger pieces of art! I work as a therapist and would be delighted to have another creative technique in my toolbox.
elizabeth cassidy said:
My art keeps evolving and I would love to add this to my artistic toolbox. I am working on my new greeting card biz and i could see some of Diane’s technique being added to my card line!
barb c said:
i would love a chance to win a spot for this class. i usually work small and when i go large i always do that digitally. 30×30 is nerve wracking but exciting. i love diane’s work. thank you carla!
Sonia McLellan said:
I have spent my life saying I cant draw or paint, & now, at a late stage, I have decided I CAN learn. I love Diane’s zany style & I hope she would be able to help me find my voice.
Gwen Wintemute said:
I think this class might help me in many ways-especially procrastination! It takes me soon long to make a mark or even do any kind of activity, because of the fear of failure.Maybe this is the push I need!
Stephanie Hart said:
I would love the opportunity to take this class! Doodling and intuitive painting are what I love most these days! 🙂
Jan Krassner said:
I used to doodle all the time in school, fifty years ago. I would love to rekindle that habit and see where it takes me.
jeni said:
I would love a chance to win this doodle class. Diane has such an ineresting concept to create a larger painting. I can’t draw, but doodling can’t fail! Thank you !
okaysellers said:
i love these color palettes! i’ve noticed my art swinging more towards precision and cleanliness, and there is definitely a lot of value in that, but i find the flow and discovery process of looser art so much more rewarding. i’ve almost forgotten what it feels like to be loose and playful though!
Amanda said:
I just signed up Diana’s “Doings of a Do-o-dle” class yesterday and her book: “If You Can Doodle You Can Paint” arrived today! The reason I didn’t sign up for her “The Doodle & the Painting” is because of fear… Now this 5 spots might be a great opportunity to face my own fear!
Cynthia Sumner said:
Doodling is a playground for The imagination. In learning a new-to-me medium of encaustic, I’ve gotten caught up in how to do it and want to stretch into more freedom of expression and loosen up. I want to play with doodling in wax, or create new images to incorporate with new pieces.
Brenda York said:
I am a bona fide doodle freak! I literally have sketchbooks filled with teeny tiny doodles. Would love to learn from Diane on how to develop my doodle habit into larger paintings. (Plus, I just really love her work!). Thanks!
Gail said:
I have started sketching and keeping an art journal in the past year. I would love to take this class because it sounds so fun and I’d learn a lot.
Cindy Stinson said:
Thank you for making this class accessible! I have always loved Diane’s style and had one of her small paintings in my studio (recycled garage) for inspiration. When my heater plug started a small fire, it was charred (but not a total loss).☹️. Taking her class would be wonderful inspiration.
Barbara gans said:
Taking this class would mean letting myself go, giving myself permission to paint and doodle with a purpose instead on scraps of paper! After retiring as a kindergarten/special education teacher, I would like to do something for myself in the area of art. It was fun fun fun to inspire children for 35 years… now I would like to be inspired💋
Rebecca said:
Diane’s classes are terrific, would enjoy having the opportunity to take this one. Doodles are the best!
Joanna Davies said:
I would love to win this course: my 12 year old daughter and I are learning and developing our art together!
Judah said:
I’m a homeschooling mom to two non stop doodlers. I’d love to learn from this class so I can pass it on to them!
Elena Carrio Argos said:
Please, please, pick me, because I am the biggest fan of Diane!
Susannah Van Horn said:
It has been quite a while since i painted and it would be inspirational to take her class.
Michelle Scott Heffley said:
An online doodle painting class is just the thing to motivate me to paint. That and red shoes!
Laura A Staisiunas said:
Not only do I want to take this class.. I need to take this class!!! I desperately need to move beyond my repertoir of my classic smiley faces and smiley faces with curly hair.
Birthe LIndhardt said:
I would love to win!!!!! I am crazy about Diane’s teaching and have taken the first doodle class. Hope you’ll sell lots nad lots of books, Diane.
Karlee said:
I think this class would be awesome to take. The texture and feel of the doodle paintings remind me of encaustic slightly. I recently took an encaustic workshop, but have been exploring ways of mimicking it in others mediums. I think this would be great to explore. I also love the idea of taking my middle school students doodles and having them collaborate to create a 30X30 piece based on this concept. But, it’s always better to learn a technique, practice it, and then teach it so you can help your students be as successful as possible!
Karlee said:
Collaborate in small groups that is 🙂
guidedbyjoy said:
Sounds like a great class just what I need to help me take the first step into painting
Robin Howard said:
I would love the personal engagement. Have been trying to put pen to paper for a very long time. I’ve paid for a few classes through Carla’s website and haven’t had the courage to begin. It sounds a bit ridiculous but don’t know if I’m intimidated or just plain fearful (and I work for a museum, how crazy is that!)
Lhyv M. Elinor said:
I love Diane’s work… love her book (ordered the EBook, because I can’ wait for the print-version). Normaly I wanted to join the class, but my dog is ill and I have to wait if I can pay for it.
A half class is for me a great gift – the chance to win a complete class is unbelievable.
I hope that I can be part of the class.
Lovely greets
joarty1 said:
When you doodle you are accessing that part of your brain that eludes you when you stand in front of a canvas. Oh to be able to bring that into my work!!!! Diane’s paintings are so fresh and alive.
jamiekalvestran said:
I would love love love to win a spot in Diane’s class! I have already read the new book and it’s fantastic. I would love to explore this process with a group of artists AND I love to paint BIG! it would be perfect! Thank you for considering me.
Mari Wisnlow said:
Oh, you are speaking my language with this course! I have this silly hang-up that I can’t start a painting with a doodle, or add doodles as the last step/layer on the canvas. Don’t know where that “rule” came from, but it’s time to throw the “rule book” out the window when it comes to creating. Hugs. 🙂 xoxoxo
marikalemay said:
I’d love to win because I love Diane classes and the way she teaches! Thank you so much!
Linda said:
I love Diane’s art and her free, inspiring and just fun teaching style! I did her class “Doings of a Doo-o-dle” self-paced and would love to be part of her new class “The Doodle and the painting” and learn even more deeply how to bring my very own (doodeling) Voice into my paintings.
joyfulshout said:
Sometimes, I can find the freedom to let my pen just go, swirling and marking and making things. But to do that more often, and to be bold enough to add PAINT?! Oh my goodness, how amazing to be so bold and free…
Denise Skilone said:
I would be thrilled to have a free workshop with Diane! I have been a doodler all of my life and would love the opportunity to see how she ties doodling into her style! Denise Skilone xo
M Mees said:
I need help! I am not much of a doodler . . . I think I’m too “controlled” 🙂 I struggle as well with mark making which I think is another facet of doodling? HELP ME!!!!! loosen up!!!
Maggie Christie said:
I’d love to take this class with my daughters. We love to doodle, draw and paint together and love learning new things.
Kathleen Mosher said:
I love to doodle and paint and would love to win this class!
Marie jerred said:
I doodle every time my pen touches the page. Diane’s course is ideal for me!
jancat100 said:
Sounds like a lot of fun and I’d love to explore how to convert my non-stop doodling to larger pieces of art!
Harmke said:
I would like to participate, because I can doodle, but I can’t draw. So a total painting, from start to finish with a foreground and a background and everything in between is way to difficult for me. At this moment I have the time …
And I love Dianes paintings. I think because they originate from doodles, so I understand the paintings.
Helena Elterman said:
I would love to take this class! I think it would help me loosen up and free me from the “I don’t know what to paint” syndrome. Also, I am very curious about the process!
Margaret Applin Designs said:
Diane’s techniques made it easy for me to step outside the box when I took her previous workshop. Her new book is amazing and it makes me excited to really delve into painting by exploring the simplest of images!
michele said:
I loved all of Diane’s doodle courses, it would be so great to win a free place on this new one! I also can’t wait to get my hands on the books, it’s been on order with Amazon in the U.K. For months now…can’t wait !
Mary said:
I doodle religiously in every meeting and every phone call, I would love to learn to turn them into a painting. and I love Diane’s classes. Thank you for the opportunity.
Joy Farmer said:
I have always wanted to be good at art. I am from a family of artists, so the bar is set pretty high. This class seems perfect for me to find my artsy side and be successful.
antonella bargione said:
I love painting and love to explore new different ways, transforming and integrating them into my painting practice. 🙂
Clare parker said:
I would love to win this course
I doodle all the time but they are never recognised as anything worth elaborating, poor neglected scraps of unwanted paper, thrown in the bin, unloved and never to be seen again.
SAVE THE DOODLES
Tracy Eau Claire said:
Ohmygosh! I would love a chance at winning a spot in this class because, well you had me at doodles on 30″x30″!! It just sounds so freeing, which is something I’d like to do better and I love the look of all the layers in the examples you showed. Thank you!!
Julia said:
This sounds like such a fun class. Would love to win a spot ^_*.
Saskia de bruin said:
I woud love to find more courage to play on paper!
Holly Brower said:
I teach art to children, but don’t do much for myself. I am hoping this class would be just the push I need!
beeswaxingpoetic said:
I’m an art educator who is always looking for new processes to share with my students!
kimmasmith said:
Oooh, I hope I win a spot!! I am so intrigued by the idea of a doodle turning into a fully formed painting. I have been painting and creating off and on for over two decades. I’ve taken many online classes and I’ve played and practiced, but there still seems to be some missing connection for me (and it’s so frustrating!). Maybe this is it!
Karin said:
Oh I love her work and her paintings. Thank you for the chance to win a place in this class. It is a great chance to learn more about other way of paintings. I work with young children in germany and perhaps I can learn a new way or a new style. I think that it makes lot of fun. So I can show the children other wonderful ways to paint. Greatings from germany and thank you very much.
Harriet Ryan said:
I would love to be set free from my everyday life and learn to doodle with Diane!
theadventuresoffennrin said:
I would love to join this class. I would share the experience with my son. We have completed many of the classes you have offered and they have always enlightened and surprised us. The art of learning is joyful with your courses.
Susan Amon said:
I teach art in public schools and know the importance of doodling…. helps with critical thinking, creative thinking, and idea generation and inspiration! I would love to take the class not only to give me much needed personal inspiration, but more knowledge and power for my kiddos!
Vanessa Garcia said:
I watched the trailer for this class and LOVED the concept of doodles turning in to a main painting. I really wanted to invest in this class and to be sure I purchased the book which I am still eagerly awaiting! I would love a chance to win a spot in this class! 😍
Emmitt Godette Jr said:
I would love this class because I love to doodle. I’ve taken Zentangle classes and the art of doodling is so fun and relaxing. To combine painting and doodling would be a great new adventure!
Carol Mathers said:
I have already completed several of Diane’s classes and find them exciting and inspiring. They have helped me to relax and have fun whilst learning new techniques. I would be thrilled to be able to attend this class live.
mastropop said:
Doodling is like playing on paper, something I love to instill in my lower school students! I’d love to learn some new techniques to up the ante on how to take doodling even further with my kids (and in my own practice!).
Nancy M Kuemmerlein said:
I’ve spent all year teaching art on a tight budget to middle-school and high school students, and my creative gas tank is close to empty. Taking Diane’s class would feel like a vacation, airfare included!

I would really appreciate the opportunity to take this class. I am an elementary art teacher, and I could really share some of these ideas with my little ones too! Thank you so much for doing this class Diane! I have taken 2 of your other classes as well and LOVED them!

If I take this class, I will certainly out of my confort zone. A new challenge !

I would LOVE to take this class because I’m great at doodling but my creativity freezes up when I start to paint. There’s got to be a better way!
Helene said:
Hello from France !
I’m addicted to your online classes and this one looks particularly attractive. I’d love to win !
Heide said:
I love doodling and like my results, but often don’t know what to do with them. Think, this class can give me cool inspiration what and how to do. 🙂
Joyce Francis said:
I’ve taken all of Diane’s on-line classes, I taken a 4 day live workshop with her, and I just got her new book in the mail yesterday! I’m ready for more. Oh, ya! Diane has been a huge part of my learning to paint. Thanks, Diane. And thanks, Carla, for bringing her onto your venue.
murray50 said:
Doodling keeps me in the right side of the brain. In that, I am in the open flow with the unconscious and engaged in the larger picture, in the vastness of the collective unconscious.
Sassafras Morgana said:
Would LOVE to receive such a class as a gift. I need the stimulus of a project where
there is some type of expectation, if for no other reason than that someone gave a gift and how will I show gratitude for it. Also, have a great need to no longer be scared to move forward in this way. Thank you for all considerations. S
Nadia Munarolo-Kurjata said:
I LOVE doodling! How in the heck can I turn those doodles into a painting? Hmmm…show ME!
Marilyn Lamoreux said:
I would love to win this class . Intentional doodling 💗🙆
Teresa said:
It is a beautiful and relaxing way to create! And from the hand of a great artist Diane!
Cynthia Nicholson said:
I love to doodle, but painting is a bit scary. If those two can be tied together, I’d be a happy camper!
kat scanlan said:
Learning this approach to painting, I think, would open up so many avenues. Also would give me much more confidence in my creative abilities, as I tend to paint from examples, be they scenes from nature or other “concrete” things.
Denise Spencer said:
I would love to win this class. I do like doodling and this class seems interesting. A little out of my price range right now, so it would be great to win.
Cindi said:
I love Diane’s style and her classes. I can’t wait to get my hands on her new book. I don’t really doodle much, so her class and book will get me started.
Dee Levang said:
I would love to learn how to apply Diane’s doodle tachnique to my encaustic mixed media paintings. The preview video of her class gets me really excited at all the possibilities!
elliejc said:
I would love to take this class because I need to have some freeing, colorful fun.
Kristin said:
Thanks for the opportunity to win! I’d love to learn how to turn my daily doodles that get scribbled on napkins, notebooks, etc into paintings. Doodling is just the start of the creative flow and taking this class would help me expand on my creativity.
krapprotdunkel said:
Buckets of joy… Totally yes…
Steffi said:
thats a wonderful combination – painting and doodle, its so naturally and creativ
Britta said:
I am frazzled and unfocused, empty and fearful of the future. Everything feels overwhelming, so maybe I must just doodle, start with a line, with a mark, and take it from there. Follow the line and find myself, find some concentration and inspiration again.
Sue Stevens said:
Looks like fun! Would love to do the class….
leslie stewart said:
I’d like to take this class because I like the idea of approaching a painting more intuitively.
janel Hunt said:
i would love to learn to doodle draw and loosen up my creativity!
Patti Henry said:
I have always been an inveterate doodler! My meeting notes at work are completely covered. However, when trying to paint, I revert back to classic attempts. I would love to learn to combine the two!
docktor kompaktor said:
i love doodles!
Lisa Crail said:
How exciting – love Diane’s calmness, her playfulness with the paintings – it would be amazing to do this beautiful online class…I have her book but to basically go through it with her would be an absolute bonus with so much to learn and soak up…(due to the exchange rate hard to afford – any thoughts on mini classes…)
Susan Hartl said:
I would love to try this class!! I have been so out of the art loop lately that I need a booster shot and this might be it!!!!
celebrate2spirit said:
Would love to participate in this class to break out of a creative ‘funk’ that has been pretty consistent for longer than a year now.
Allan Zieser said:
I would be deeply honored to win a spot in your class. I use doodling as a method of fighting my anxiety attacks. It has been extremely successful so far. I would also love to learn some of your techniques that you use as they are beautiful to look at. Thanks for this oppritunity!
Kelli Martin said:
I want to take this class so I can keep the creative juices flowing with my doodles!

I would love to take this class because I am recovering from a serious illness and art helps keep depression at bay. Doodling really taps in to our intuitive nature, this sounds like so much fun. Thanks for the chance to participate Carla 🙂
Mary Blakney said:
My heart yearns to find out how my doodles may lead to MORE. Thank you for the OPPORTUNITY.
Barbara Fox said:
To loosen up with doodling and then take it to another step of creating a painting is a dream of mine. Diane’s art is has a magical playfulness that intrigues me. Would love to win this class.
Lisa Tracy said:
I love the doodle paintings. I think this class would be a lot of fun!
4tara said:
This would be the class to take to get back to drawing and painting. Every time, I pick up my brush and canvas I get overwhelmed. It would be nice to start small and end up with something lovely that I’ve finished.

I am challenged when it comes to spontaneous doodling and I need to develop more freedom in my painting. This would be a good class to help with both of these issues, I think. 🙂
Belinda Collinge said:
I am ready to get back in touch with my creative side! I just ended a toxic relationship that began 2 years ago as I was going through cancer (ugh, narcissist) and a divorce. Currently unemployed due to complications from my surgeries and putting my life back together. Time to find ME again and heal. Thank you for the opportunity.
Lisa Oden said:
I am always a little stiff when I hear “mark making” as part of a lesson – I need to loosen up and discover my mark making and doodling inner elf! I would love to take this class to help me find him/her 🙂
Elizabeth said:
Would love to do this with my homeschooled children. Thank you!
Alina Tarmu said:
This looks like a fun, unintimidating way to start painting fast and intuitively.
Susan Stortini said:
I totally love Diane’s authenticity and classes. (Carla”s as well). I would sooooo love to win this class, for so many reasons. One obvious reason for sure, is that it allows, or better stated… gives “permission to let your inner side come out on a very gentle and subconscious way. Here is hoping….LOL
Kim said:
Diane’s a great teacher. This would be so much fun!
Emilie said:
Me and my son use to take art classes together when he was younger and now that he is a teenager his love of art and drawing in still very stroung but finding classes hs been very challenging and a class that we could do together even more so this would be an awesome opportunity!
Kim said:
I would love some inspiration for myself, my children and for the children with a disability that I teach.
Megan said:
I would love a chance to take this class as I enjoy Diane’s style and would learn a lot from her about developing my own.

As an art teacher it is so nice to take a class and be the student! The book and class looks like something I can use to keep my creative juices flowing! Love her work!
Elizabeth I said:
I rarely paint but I would love to cultivate this part of myself!
Linda said:
This looks like something I really need (:
Barbara said:
I loved Diane’s Doings of a Doodle class and would like to go further! She has a great, quirky teaching style.
Anne-Marie Jobin said:
I LOVE the idea of developing my “doodle way of thinking”… 🙂
Just thinking about this makes me smile.
I feel my brain jumping up and down like a kid, wanting to play!!

Hi! Is love to win a spot for this class because I am trying to learn how to ‘lighten up’ as I draw, paint, etc. I seem to have a hard time just letting things be. I’m learning, just slowly! 😉
Jacki said:
Recently I took a little doodle class and was surprised how fun it was. Diane’s work is so lovely and I wonder if I could do that. I would love to find out. (I may have posted twice. With my red face, I apologize if that is so)
mushydoll said:
Would love to win a spot! I need help in learning how to play and doodle in my art. I believe this course would be a wonderfully oppportunity to do that.
Brandy Noody said:
Excited to possibly win a spot in this class. I think it would be inspiring to me and something I could use in my high school art classroom as well!
Julie said:
I homeschool my children and would love to share this with them.
Lorrie Brogan said:
I would love to win a spot in Diane’s class. Her work is so whimsical and creative. The timing is perfect for me right now to start something new!
Pooja said:
Me and my husband come from a very non artistic background however we are blessed with a child who is very intrigued by art .. we do not have resources to provide him the right tool at this moment of our life , hence this would really help us and him to explore the hidden creativity.
This is a very kind gesture, would be immensely grateful if I could get this opportunity.
Much love and many thanks
adaysmarch said:
This would be such fun to try!
Tamara Belland said:
I would love to take this class because I was a doodler as a child (was told to stop by one of my grade school teachers). I eventually became an artist/illustrator but there is a part of me, my inner child, who would love to set herself free with this doodling process!
sandy p said:
I would love to win a spot in this class! Doodling is such a great way to jump into other bigger works. It would also help me to take the jump from seeing a blank page & turning it into something unexpected and cool. 🙂
amanda pardue said:
I am an art teacher… I love my students, but sometimes giving all I have to them and my own children makes it hard to find the time and energy required to create. I have felt convicted lately that I need to work on my own pieces (and have them present in class during the process) so my students can see me working (they love seeing work by their teachers). I would like to take the class for several reasons. 1. I know I would paint if I was a part of a class 2. Learn new techniques for myself as an artist and have new materials for my students 3. Are we not all happy when we are creating and doing something we love so much.
tracilynne1012 said:
As a only child, I spent my time in whimsical world called Traci Land! Not having any mentor or sisters or brothers, I made a creative world of my own starting with scribbles and then doodles trying to feed the something inside I knew was there in my quiet world. I then stared a diary equipped with magic markers in 1974. I was starting high school. Scared. I drew doodles and dates in various colors to represent something significant, some dispguised so no one could read those particular doodles. Caught my mom when I was 17 trying to read my doodles….hmm wonder if she had answered questions!
Now an adult living on a farm, self taught from my own love of doodles. The only place I could start. It is my love to look and say what does that look like? And there it is! That’s how I found Carla with her first book! I was like her! And here I am now still with the stirring of what does that look like?
I work a farm, I used to work for Apple, but I am needed at home to take care of all the animals daily! I still sneak in my art room when I can spare a moment to “what does that look like?” And proceed. I would love to take this class. Blessed!
Traci
Joy said:
I would love to learn more doodle techniques!
Roberta said:
I love all the classes you offer Carla. I have taken Diane’s previous class and enjoyed it very much. She is another of your fabulous teachers. I would love an opportunity to win a place in her class! Count me in!
Mientjie Becker said:
Diane’s work is amazing, I would love to learn from her. I have already added her books to my Amazone basket, I’m from South Africa and that is the only way to get hold of her books.
Andrin said:
I’d like to overcome my barriers to draw. I wish I could draw more freely without that monster called perfectionism. This class would be perfekt for this.
paintinthyme said:
What fun! I’d love to take my doodles to something big and bold!
Jackie Jones said:
I love Diane’s artwork and her philosophy on art really speaks to my heart and soul. It would be great to win a spot! I definitely plan to get her book!

Catherine S. said:
This class looks super fun! I’m wondering if starting with a doodle will take some of the pressure off of making a mark on that big, beautiful, blank page! ❤
mjmarmo said:
I really could use this! I have only joined the art world but my math and science background are still interfering with my ability to draw and doodle! I need to learn to let go! Thank you for the opportunity!
Natalie said:
This seems like the perfect class for me…I doodle, I doodle draw, but to transition it to painting??? I choke. I would love the opportunity to win a free class, thanku!
KarenLS said:
I love to doodle but don’t know where to go from there. This class will help me figure it out.
lois kent said:
I will certainly buy the book, but I would love to win the class and learn from Diane in that format. I have always admired her painting style.
Jamie mckay said:
Love diane Culhane’s webinar classes! And love being able to log on whenever I want! My last class I did in Kauai – was so much fun, would love to take another of her classes!
Jamie mckay said:
And I have her new book – it’s awesome, but there’s nothing like listening and watching diane work and hear her process! Jamie McKay
tracilynne1012 said:
****started a doodle diary on ,y bedroom door….sorry got messed up in comment above! You should always proofread…still learning that….🙃
Coleen Patrick said:
This class sounds great! Always looking to learn more. 🙂
Jelena Todorovich said:
This sounds like a cross between an abstract and realistic approach. I play with both ideas in my work, but would love to learn how to merge these two worlds.
Lisa Huggins said:
I would love to take the class to open up some of my creativity…. to take the little bit that I can doodle and actually turn it into a piece that means something.
Teri said:
Love your work Diane. Have used you as a “guest artist” in the past while I was still teaching elementary art. Wish you could have heard the kids ooo’s and aah’s while watching the negative space video! Fingers crossed!! I’m hoping to join the class.
Anna Neff said:
I have learned so much in the the three classes I have taken from Diane … and have had such a ball, too!
I am now eager to see what kind of magic erupts as I add Diane’s techniques to my random and wacky doodles! My fingers are crossed!
Lisa said:
I’m a doodler, pick me!
Jill Brax said:
I hate to admit it but I’m not a good doodler. So I need help. This looks like a fun class.
Victoria Gelberg said:
I would love to be in this course, painting, drawing and freeing up some of the ideas that are very likely stuck in the back of my mind behind a classical thought or two.
Celia Stanley said:
I would love to win this class. I find online classes like this are so inspiring because I am relaxed in my own home and find it easier to achieve and to share. Starting from a doodle offers a way in that is not daunting.
Angelique said:
I doodle all the time – never thought about incorporating doodles into paintings! This would be a fun class to take 🙂
Lynn Soban said:
Diane has influenced my artistic style and I love her classes!
guylainemorin said:
I would love to learn how to incorpore my doodles in a painting. I do them randomly on many differents papers and it’s something that I do without thinking. I would love to develop this way of doing while painting too. Thanks for the opportunity !
Karen Steinberg said:
I would love to start wearing some of the fun shoes that I don’t wear much anymore and doodling in them. Maybe doodle them…I took a class of Diane’s and it was very insightful, loved it.
nina said:
I need to loosen up! Love the idea of turning doodles into a painting. Diane’s book is already on my Amazon list. Thank you for the opportunity.
Christina said:
I would love to win this class for my daughter. She has been wanting to take a class for awhile now. Thank you for the opportunity!
Rossana said:
I love Diane enthusiasm and I hope to win because I will be very happy doing doodles with her !!
Patricia Points said:
I would love this class as I live on the road and my income is limited. I do have art supplies that are quite portable, so I’m able to do art journaling and small projects. Thanks for presenting the opportunity!
Sandra Lenuweit said:
Hi Diane, i love your style to paint and teach, and i like to paint without pressure, and like to learn to come in my flow easily. I would be so happy when be a menber of the class and the creative community. 🙂
Caroline Appelbee said:
I love doodling and zentangling whether in paint or with stitches. This class would be an awesome way to upskill!
Lisa Y said:
Diane’s wonderful and nurturing online classes are inspiring and playful!! I love the idea of a 30×30 canvas challenge 🙂 I’m waiting my amazon mail order of her need doodle book! Great work Diane, thanks for sharing all your creative energy online.
merrilyhall said:
I would love a chance to win this class – it looks amazing! I have found doodling and art to be so therapeutic for me after a really rough couple of years and that the trauma of it all has completely changed my art (so, somehow good always comes out of everything) – this would be an amazing class! Thank you for the opportunity!
Beth Wolchock said:
This looks amazing, I would love to win a spot in this class, thanks, Beth
Cheryl said:
Looks wonderful! Would love to participate ❤
Kelley Fewer said:
I loved diane’s last class, and would enjoy the opportunity to take this one. Her style is so freeing and forgiving!
Patricia A Meijer said:
Diane is one of my favorite artists! I took her class “Between Speech and Silence”. I loved this class and learned quite a bit – I HIGHLY Recommend it! I’ve ordered Diane’s book and can’t wait to get it. Thank you Diane and Carla!!!
Mary Boettcher said:
I love to make lines and shapes and do zentangle. It would be so much fun to bring it into a painting and especially one that’s large since I work small.
carlasonheim said:
Hi Carla, I could not follow from your link to a place to register for a free doodling class, so I hope this finds its way to you. Why take a doodling class? I’ve always wanted to be able to paint something larger than small sketches, “control” an entire canvas. My brain fuzzes over when I’ve attempted to do so in the past (like 30 years ago taking art classes at UT). I suspect control really is the issue – my art is so tight, doodling sounds like just the thing. Your 365 days of art class has been working wonders for my “tightness” in art. Doodling sounds like it could take me to another level. Thanks for offering the free classes. I hope I get one – another online class is not in the budget right now.
Peace,
Denise Erickson
Joanie Orton said:
I love your artwork and fine art. The doodles of flowers and small animals are my favorites. I would love to win a class that would help me get from copying someone else’s genius, to tap into my own ability, and allow myself the freedom to create, without the fear of messing it up.
Engelie Blomerus said:
I teach at a school for high school students at risk and would love to share these skills with them.

Elizabeth Anderson said:
I never thought I had any artistic talent whatsoever, but started painting a couple of years ago, then brached into mixed media and watercolors. I have two of Carla’s books (which I love) and have met Diane a couple of times. I am drawn to both of your styles and would love to learn from you. As a single mom, I have to be careful how to spend my money and would love the opportunity to learn from you both. You make it easy to draw and to be creative.
Sheila M. England said:
I doodle constantly; even in my head! Some have evolved into large drawings, yet I haven’t had the courage to use paint yet. The thought is very intimidating for me .
Karina said:
I would love to win this class!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Phyllis King said:
I have taken all of Diane’s previous classes and adored each and every one of them.
I love Diane’s free approach and how doodling sets you free to create even when you feel blocked. I would adore to do this class because it encompasses everything I love about art, freedome to express yourself in a way that kicks the critic out the door.
The transforming of the doodles into large free wall sized doodles and three large finished paintings along with lovely altured book Is a dream of a course I would feel very fortunate indeed to take this class.
Alice McKee said:
I am currently taking the “Doings of a Do-o-dle” class and am loving how the online format fits with my life. I am really enjoying the exercises and how they inspire me to be more creative, free, and loose. I recently splurged and bought one of Diane’s paintings and I really love it. I have experience painting but have felt stuck for a few years and am hoping this painting class will push me in a new direction. It is a painting style that I have aspired to but have not been able to find my way into yet.
Delsie Chambon said:
I have always been a “doodler” and recenty I’ve been trying to spend more time painting. The idea of turning my doodles into paintings is just fabulous! Please show me how!!
Cynthia Gunn said:
What a darling fun class!
laura j. evert said:
i doodle daily in my composition books to ease my mind or think through something that is on my mind. it has been a tool in my life for as long as i can remember. i would love to explore turning some into works of art.. what a great class idea! hope i can join you!
Caroline said:
Would love a chance to take this class to inspire me to produce something unique to myself.
mccoytina said:
Love the concept and context of this workshop. Really curious how the process works and what will come up for me in the end. Have already registered, can’t wait to get started… looking forward to having lots and lots of fun. Thank You, Diane Culhane. 🙂
silvia ines merkel said:
Why i would love to do her class???? BECAUSE i LOVE HER WORK! always, since the first time I saw it! it is such a joy to look at it!! i love her characters, the colours and so originals compositions! I would love to learn her secrets!!!
Bee Lilli Bennett said:
Once upon a time there was a random doodle imprisoned inside my head when along came Diane’s magical course and released it onto canvas to become a beautiful, free and wondrous painting. The End.
Lynn said:
I would like to attend Diane’s course because doodling is easy and fun. Watching a doodle evolve into an object is awesome!
susieteramura said:
I have loved the classes I have taken with Diane. She has a special way of bringing out beauty and has helped me to find courage to trust my instincts and value with my own unique style. 🙂
Catherine Stone said:
It looks like a great class and would help me free up my work, and have fun at the same time!
Keryn Leuf said:
After a busy tax season I would love the chance to unwind and have a little fun with this class. Thank you for the opportunity to enter.
coombesezjeneequa said:
I’ve been looking to explore new techniques and approaches to my artwork and this class will certainly help me do that. Doodling is such great fun and incorporating doodles into artwork is a wonderfully creative and inspiring idea!
Carol Clement Peringer said:
oh, because I want to change my mind about my abilities relative to drawing and painting. I doodle all the time and the thought of earning how to translate that into a real painting makes me want to just do the happy dance😺
Pamela Martin said:
I’ve always wanted to take one of Diane’s classes and I doodle all the time. I never really thought about the idea of taking those doodles to another level!
Karen Kay said:
Because I adore Diane! I’ve only been able to afford one of her classes, her very first one, and it was the most enjoyable class I’ve been in to date. My funds may be limited but my creativity and imagination is not. I would love to learn once again from Diane. I received her book from Amazon yesterday and I’m devouring each page. Thank you Diane for sharing your talents with the world.
Shanise Brockshus said:
As part of our artistic process, I encourage my students to doodle journal. (Doodle in their visual journals as they record notes, conduct visual research and more. ) I’d love to take this class so I can learn another method of using our doodles to inspire original pieces of art!
ozma said:
I love Diane’s work, and now I have her new book. I feel like the class will expand on the book, and I’d like to be part of that.
Peggy Reed said:
I have a box of doodles from over the years. I loved them so I saved them. I thought one day I’ll turn some of them into paintings. That hasn’t happened yet. This class would help guide me in the right direction. Cheers!
Gerda Smit said:
I need to learn to play again and loosen up, ion my painting.
Bhupali Gupte said:
Hi, I feel split between my black & white doodles and my paintings. It would be great to be able to bring the two together!!! Thank you for the giveaway!

Am sooo enjoying your book, Diane! Would love to be awarded a spot in your workshop. Fingers crossed!
Karin B said:
Diane Culhane’s classes are fabulous. I would love to do this latest one. The idea of using doodles to create larger paintings is very exciting.
Lee Ann Carter said:
As a recovering Perfectionist, I am seeking guidance on how to “work through” the creative process. I often don’t know how to “get there from here” and need a little help in finding my way. This class sounds like a lovely way to start :-).
Dawna Magliacano said:
I am enjoying the book by Diane, I just purchased and would love to win the class give away!!!

If Carla touts the accolades of this course it must be worth the registration! Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in class.

I thoroughly loved Diane’s previous doodle class. I just ordered her new book, but would like to follow up by taking this class too! I love doodling, but haven’t got the hang of combining painting with my doodles yet.
Barbara said:
This looks like a great class for loosening up in art,something I constantly work at! I would live to take this class.
Ann Naumann said:
I would like to take this class because I just doodled my way from Albuquerque to LAX on a bumpy flight!
Suellen Tomkins said:
This looks like a wonderful inspiring class, I’d love to be part of.
Pamela DiBiase said:
I would love to take this class because my students love to doodle and often have the question of how to turn the doodles into full blown artworks. How do you do this while retaining the line and feel of the doodle, what choices do you make and how to make them? The concept of doodle as Art is interesting and certainly would stump the academic teachers when they tell the kids to stop doodling and they reply “I can’t its my newest artwork.” Please pick me, I am low on funds.
Sharry Miller said:
I primarily work in fusible glass. While that medium allows some spontaneity, it’s not as loose as I’d like. I’d love the chance to play with Diane’s techniques and then figure out how to replicate it in glass.
Prayerfully Yours said:
I would love to win this class! It looks like what I would like to do then add a bit of polymer clay to the mixture! Awesome!

Looking forward to the class!
Barb Smucker said:
I teach creativity and painting at a meditation center. In my classes we always doodle at some point. I would love to take this class and learn even more ways to be creative and combine painting and doodling!
lynn ruehlmann said:
I took Diane’s first Doodle class and thoroughly enjoyed it. Recently my (grown-up) daughter asked to start doing some painting together. This is completely new for her, and I don’t want to waste the impetus! I also don’t want to make sure that what we do together will suit her interests as well as mine, and this second doodle class sounds perfect. Winning this class would be a gift to both my daughter and me!
Debra Carnegie said:
I would love to win a chance to take this class — it looks so creative, freeing and fun!

Please throw my hat in the ring. who could pass up a chance to win one of Diane’s classes –although I really want to do Carla’s flower one more. Hope this doesn’t disqualify me. Oh well.

I’ve taken a class with Diane… she is an excellent teacher. I already bought this book and would love to see her live interpretation of her methods.

After spending the last several years taking care of loved ones, this would be an opportunity to reengage with my artistic self. Thank you for the chance. All the best to you. 🙂
Mikell said:
I’d just love to take this class
Alexa said:
Having taken one of Diane’s classes before, I loved her gentle style and the inspiring way she showed us how her process and mark-making unfolded, making it feel do-able even for a painting klutz like me! I would love to have the chance to learn with Diane again …
Janine said:
Please throw my name into to the hat for a chance to win a seat in this class! Thank you for the opportunity!
Sigrid said:
Wow, I would love to expand my range of work with Diane and the timing for this class would be just right!
Dee McKiernan said:
I would absolutely love to win this. I am struggling to find time to paint and when I do find time, I am usually feeling “stuck”. I would love the opportunity to learn how to start small and work big – and the image of Diane’s art is certainly inspirational. Fingers, toes, eyes and legs crossed 🙂
Terry Gray said:
Diane’s work is so inspirational and her work lifts my spirits– there’s such a sense of joy and freedom. I have years worth of sketches and doodles and would love to do something more with my creative urges. Winning a class would be a grand treat!
Carla Dixon said:
I would love to win a spot in the doodle class. I have taken two previous classes from Duane and love her teaching style. I also bought her new book.
yvonne wallace said:
This looks like just what I need to wake me up out of my creative slump!
Sally said:
Hi, I have been struggling with “just create to create” and believe this class might help me to loosen up a bit….
penny gammons said:
I have been brain dead for more years than I care to admit. I want to fling open all the windows, brush away the cobwebs, dance in the rain and yes, oh yes, doodle until I can see change in myself. I’m retiring in 1 year and am returning to my artist roots….that is if I can find them. I know that this class would be a wonderful step in finding the creative person inside! Would be honored to be chosen for this wonderful experience.
Pat Remington said:
I love getting your emails and this class looks fantastic!
Donn Kuse said:
Need something to help my art along and the doodle class would be nice. Can’t afford the cost of the class as I’m over 82.
Sandy Boreen said:
I would love to win this class I do doodle once in a while and love Carla Sonheim’s book, but I am open to new perspectives and new fun ideas. Thank you so much for the opportunity,
Sandy Owens said:
I would love to take this class! I am a self taught artist , and have been doing art for about 7 years. I started late in life after kids were grown , and being on my own. I’m like a sponge, and try yo learn all I can. Thanks
Keptsia Hawkins said:
I would actually like to win this and gift it to a 6th-grade student of mine. Art is his life and unfortunately, at our school, we don’t have art…my heart aches for him because he has no outlet for his talents at our school. Something like this would expose him to something I cannot do for him in the classroom.
Patti Sandham said:
I adore Diane’s classes. She made me fall in love with doodling in her first doodle class. Doodles are so wonderful to get you out of your head and creating.
hugs
Andrea thompson said:
I would love to win because although I doodle all the time sometimes I just get stuck on WHAT to paint. This sounds like the perfect answer
Valeria Rios-Giermakowski said:
I would love to try this class with my 2nd-5th grade students!!!
Donanne Bisbee said:
I would love to take this class because I need to free my body and mind from my medical problems that started in August 2015. I was an elementary art teacher when my problems pstarted. I only taught a couple of weeks at the beginning of the ’15-’16 school year and not since. I’m drowning in disability paperwork and medical bills. This might be just what I need to help get me out of the depressed funk I’m in.
One of my favorite things to do is draw an outline of a figure, or shape, and hide words/names in them with “Zentangles,” which is also a type of doodling.
Donanne Bisbee said:
I guess I missed something. I thought I was registering to win a spot in the class. Under my current circumstances, I can’t even consider paying for the class, as much as I would love to. Unless I’m a winner, I can’t take part in the class. As far as following your blog, is there a charge for that? I’m sorry if I misunderstood. Please let me know the situation.

Laurie Q. Sweet said:
I am a K-6 art educator and am an doodler fan! I would love to learn more about the art of doodling and embed this journey in my daily lessons with my students. Art is a process to take action, explore creativity, and to collaborate with others.

I love Diane work and all the colours that she uses. Her paintings are like little stories:-)

A. Guillaume said:
I LOVED Diane’s class “Between speech and silence” a couple years ago. The paintings I completed in that class were the FIRST that someone (my son) asked to have, and they still hang in his living room. Now, as caregiver to my husband who is facing brain cancer, this class would provide some therapy for me and help me gain new skills at the same time.
leannesari said:
I am waaay too dependent on my back button and eraser tool. I MUST get off my iPad. This might be a good way to shed my anxieties and let things evolve from doodle to painting.
Mary Ann Rankin said:
The class looks exciting and I love the doodle part. I have taken 2 of Carla’s classes and loved every minute. It is now time for another. To introduce myself I am a wannebe artist at 74y/o. That will never happen but I can have fun trying. I am retired and on a fixed income so it would be wonderful to be chosen. I realize it is random. Thank You
Gill Alleyne said:
I would love to do this class because Diane is a little bit quirky, a little bit crazy and a whole heap of wonderful. MY difficult life has just started to go up and this class would send it rocketing :).
wendryn said:
I doodle a lot. I had to wait for 2.5 hours a few days ago and ended up doodling for most of that time because I forgot my book. It would be fascinating to see what else I could do with it!

PS…I have Diane Culhane’s new book, If You Can Doodle, You can Paint, and it is AWESOME!

I would be honored to win a spot in Diane’s new class. Confessions of a doodle hoarder: I have doodles I’ve kept for years – never knew what to do with them, but can’t throw them away. I would love to know how to get to the steps.
Good luck everyone!
Amy Emery said:
I want/need to start creating!
Thank you for the chance.

How wonderful! I bet this will be a fun class. I have ordered Diane’s book and what a delight it would be to take the class, too! Thanks so much for the chance. Best wishes to all……
Pat "Possum Patty" Catucci said:
Flibbertigibbits! Would love to win this class! I’m definitely a telephone doodler. But perfectionism gets in the way when painting. It would be an amazing experience to let go and embrace my intuitive self.
louise koslofsky said:
I love doodles and am learning to paint!
Debra Moini said:
I would love to learn how to take my insignificant doodles and grow them into an authentic painting. That excites me!
Amanda said:
Painting from doodles! This is sure to be an exciting, fun class! I’d love that kind of joy in my life.
Mary said:
I would love to get out of my comfort zone and play with doodles as a starting point for art.
Tiffany Banks said:
I am an art educator who recently moved to a new state for my husband’s job. I have not been in the classroom this year and am really missing making art with my students. I am working on my certification so I can hopefully get back in the classroom this upcoming school year. I have been wanting to take one of your painting classes. This class would give me the opportunity to expand my painting and drawing skills while getting some ideas for when I am back in the classroom.
CANDACE WEISS said:
I would enjoy adding to my quilting by painting, and using doodles as a step off would really release some of my creativity.
annihunt said:
This looks like something I need to kick start me into believing in my silly little drawings/doodles!
Victoria Ozanich said:
I never doodled, feeling that I couldn’t even do that well. My “artist esteem” has never been a high point in my life. It’s taken me (I won’t tell you how many) years to get where I am with my art. I’m ready to jump in with both feet, doodling and painting now. I just ordered Diane’s new book and am checking our porch every day for it’s delivery! Thank both of you for this opportunity!!! ❤
Irene Rafael said:
This class sounds so so interesting!
binagarry said:
i am a doodler and painter. I would love to combine these and learn more about how others combine them. This sounds right up my alley. thanks for this class
Melanie Sundquist said:
This would be a fun class to let go of my rigidity and let my creative juices flow!
Kimberly Vaca said:
Hi Carla,
I would love to participate in this class because I admire Diane’s art work. Some years ago I took one of her classes and enjoyed it so much. She inspired me to start working with my students on a doodoling journal and we have keep on doing it ever since. In the class she also gave us tips that I started using in my on art improving it and I learned to use different mediums.
AmandaWW said:
I’m a reasonable at drawing but I just can’t seem to loosen up and make the leap to painting, especially in the expressive, intuitive way I admire. I’m trying to transition from more physically demanding art making (ceramics and printmaking) due to health restrictions. I need to find a satisfying way to express myself and this workshop may be just the help I am seeking.
Lisa said:
I have taken on of Diane’s classes in your online offerings and it was wonderful! Have been eyeing this class with envy and would love to win the opportunity to take it! Just purchased her book! Thanks for everything you do Carla!
Teresa Diepenbrock said:
I would love to win a spot in Diane’s class! I just purchased her book and I am really interested in how the fresh, uniqueness of a person’s doodles can be enlarged and turned into paintings. I can’t quite make the transition from sketch to paint.
Kim said:
This looks like it would be an absolutely incredible class!
susan said:
I love Diane’s teaching! I would take any class she teaches! also think Carla and Steve do a fabulous job producing these classes!
Carmel Fay said:
For the first time ever, I have a lovely bit of wall (ooooh!) where I can stick up some paper or canvas, whack up some paint, glue, gesso, and it’s totally okay if there are paint smudges everywhere. That spot so needs a doodle painting to kick things off. No, wait, lets be real – I need a nice, big, loose doodle painting to get all that stuck creative energy flowing again. I’d love to do Diane’s workshop. She’s a great teacher.
Marta Cossin said:
I love Diane’s workshops! I have done all of them and I’m looking forward to this one that will give me the opportunity to work again after a very stressful period in my life.
Karen Phanco said:
Who doesn’t love a doodle? I could use this when trying to teach my grands where to start on a blank page!
Kathy said:
I’m trying to make more FUN in my life and this sounds FUN. My art has always been tight and I’m finding the free style in the stained glass trees course challenging but want to explore it more. cant see my doddles from meetings being any good on canvas but would love to try it….
Carolyn C said:
I would love the opportunity to take this doodle class. I have taken Diane’s Tabletop class and her For the love of a tree class and I love her way of teaching!Thank you for the opportunity!
Kirsten said:
It would inspire me greatly and give me a boost to find out new ways to express myself 🙂
paulateach said:
This sounds intriguing and unlike anything I’ve done before. I’d love to try it!
Pam said:
Who wouldn’t want to learn something new? I actually work in a library and my craft classes are the biggest thing going. I’d love to learning new things so I can pass it onto others. The patrons who come the most? 65+ and they’re a hoot!
Viv Estill said:
Sounds a really good idea – I love doodling but normally feel a bit threatened by the idea of creating artwork !
Sherry Syrie said:
Oh my goodness! My artwork seems so “tight,” and learning more of a doodling-type technique would really help me loosen up (without those 2 classes of wine first ;)) Also, I’m an art teacher, so I would love to learn more about this so I can help my students “loosen up” a bit also and be less hard on themselves as well.
Deborah said:
I loved the “Doings of a Do-o-dle” class! ( I think it was my first class from Carla!) I had so much fun, it broke me out of a block and got me doing some of my own work again 🙂 I would love to learn more from Diane!
Anne said:
Love Diane’s free and easy style which leads to beautiful results. Would love to win to tap into some of that – thanks
Patricia Cauldwell said:

ardith tate said:
Because when I take Diane’s classes this 82 year old feels like a 10 year old kid!
CarrollWC said:
I love to doodle but rarely take it further. It would be fun to see if I can stretch myself in this class.
Coralie DeWald said:
To win a place in Diane’s class would be better than good; it would also provide me the opportunity to learn techniques that could be great starting points for the Area Learning Center art students that i teach. Who among us hasn’t “doodled” at some time? Giving us the opportunity to carry our ‘doodling” from the basic and casual to “art” that is expressive and satisfying is a treat in the making. Diane’s book sounds like it is full of inspiration and encouragement!
Michele Pacey said:
You know I’ve never been a doodler. I don’t think I know how to. Maybe this class would awaken the sleepy little doodler inside me.
Sharon Congdon said:
When I was young and in school, I doodled a lot. Now that I am getting older it doesn’t come quite as naturally as it used to…I need all the help I can get to let go and play more in my art. This looks like another great class to help take me, and others in that free and creative direction. Thank you…
tarafinlay said:

Cynthia said:
I would love to get into that doodle state of mind! Looks like a fun class and I could use a little fun right now…..come on Carla,,,,make my day. Doodle on…….
Melissa said:
Doodling was once my therapy. I’ve let adulting squash my whimsy and free spirit….
leisarefalo said:
I find drawing very stressful. This looks like it might be fun.
Sheryl said:
I doodle cuz I can’t draw. I don’t paint cuz I can’t draw. This class sounds like the answer to my creative dilemma!!
julskovac said:
I’d love to have a chance to win a spot in this class. Doodling turned into a painting. Sounds interesting and fun.

I am searching for portable art and a way to better understand mark making as a stepping stone to a finished piece.
Doreen Cosenza said:
It took working through Carla’s book with the Artists of the Round Table group for me to believe that I *could* and, actually, enjoy drawing! I would love the opportunity to learn and add drawing techniques and continue the journey. Thanks for the chance.
Andrea said:
I would love this class! I bought the book instantly! I’ve loved your classes ever since Table Top!

tracy said:
would love to win a spot…motivation to be creative coupled with the fun of doodling + painting…what could be better?
Nicola Marsh said:
I have been so busy of late, doodling is about all I get time to do! It would be great to be able to develop these into my art so when I find the time to hit the canvas I will already have the inspiration.
Sharron Arnold said:
I would really love to join this class as i need to loosen up. I always ‘have to’ dot the i’s and cross the t’s. It can be quite restrictive!
Stacey Greene said:
I would love to win this class and have the opportunity to learn this technique! I love Diane’s work and just purchased her new ‘If You Can Doodle, You Can Paint’ book!
Briana said:

Doodles,

Linda Stilin said:
I have doodled and made marks all my life. I’ve been painting for a few years now, but my paintings don’t reflect my doodles or style at all. I would LOVE to learn how to blend these two actions-processes-skills into a cohesive art style all my own, and I think Diane’s class is the ticket! I love her work and style, and from what I have read, her teaching and techniques would be a very good/fantastic fit for me!! Fingers crossed!!!!!!!! Thank you.
Tiffani said:
I spend my days teaching art and pouring into middle school students. I would love an opportunity to recharge my own creativity.

No words to express how much I NEED THIS CLASS… always tight and spun… needing to let loose and learn from a rock star!!! This is an awesome opportunity and I want to say, thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Diane Topkis said:
The last year or so, I’ve tried to loosen up and become more playful (my guiding word for 2017) through art. I took Diane’s Between Speech & Silence class and LOVED it. I’m taking Carla’s 365 class and LOVE it. I’ve bought Diane’s new book on Doodle/Paint and realized I never really regularly doodled. I have started now. I think this class would help me take my playful quest further!
Meraiah Foley said:
After nine years of raising kids while doing a PhD, I really need a creative release. I watch my kids doodle so freely, and often think, “I need more doodling in my life!”
Heidi said:
How exciting to see a new class with Diane – I woukd so love to win a spot in her new class!!
Carmen Jimenez said:
I would like to learn new techniques and ways of seeing an I also love Diane Culhane style and I am in need of some inspriation.
Heather McQueary said:
Middle schoolers. That is my reason. I teach middle school. Recently I embarked on a mixed media painting project. We have never tried it because I am sometimes afraid of what result I might get from trying something new. More than ever before I hear…. ” this is my favorite project EVER!” Music to my ears. I apparently need to do this more often . I Would love to introduce them to doodling!!! I can only imagine their delight after producing beautiful work from a doodle!
Sherry Springall said:
Hi Carla, I would love to win this class. I am such a control freak that I find it hard to just doodle. I would hope that this class could free up my art spirit to just do it. Adding paint sounds so exciting.
Kristin Gilchrist said:
I simply adore Diane’s way of teaching and I love her artwork. There is something very charming about Diane and I would love to take her new class because I would like to learn how to create paintings similar to hers.
annichristie said:
I would love to take this class! It sounds so fun to play more with my doodles and to make them into something more!

I would love to take this class. It looks like just the class for me to increase my knowledge and decrease my resistance to starting or the white paint and the thinking about perfect or fussiness. I love the images.
Martha GGluck said:
As a life long doodler a trait I imagine I inherited from my mother. I have great memories of her doodling and often encouraging me to doodle “(yes draw anything small big don’t think too much.” she would say.) She of course was keeping me busy. Many many years later I see my grown daughters, doodle. I think it is time for the doodles to grow up!

A doodle, a doodle,

I’ll doodle every day!

Monika Gagnon said:
I would love to get back to doodling and loose myself in a fun activity. I’ve been preoccupied with preparing for school art exhibits and getting the students ready for AP portfolios and art projects, so it would be nice to just “exhale”, and this seems like it is a perfect opportunity. Thank you for your inspirations.
Tami Rodrig said:
I love Diane’s artwork! Doodling is a great form of meditation which I love to do and it is so relaxing for me. The thought of turning the doodles into paintings is so exciting! It will be amazing for me if I can learn how to doodle a painting.

Kim said:
I would love to win this class to gift to my sister because after signing both of us up for Carla’s 365 class, she has been the one who has been steady at her work and when she saw this, she wanted to win a spot but was unable to leave a comment (for some technical reason which I couldn’t decipher). My sister is rocking her art!

I would love to win this class of Diane’s! I just returned from a Tangle U, a 3-day workshop for learning advanced techniques in Zentangle, which some people call “doodling.” I’d love to learn to take a Zentangle and/or doodle and add some inspired art. Thanks for the opportunity!
catherinewoodbrooks said:
This class looks great – my doodles are much more lose than my drawing and painting. Hoping this could nudge me into letting go.
Catherine said:

Heather Ivy said:
I have gotten too ‘in my head’ about what to paint, which prevents me from painting at all. I think this class is just what I need to let loose of that stress. I also teach art to kids…how can I teach them to be wild and free if I can’t figure it out for myself?! Joyfully yours for the teaching, please help! 😍

Claudia Fuller said:
I’ve been a doodler and have done Zentangles for a very long time. I’ve always confined myself to small substrates for things that I do. I’d love to branch out to do bigger work and doodling seems less intimidating.

I have done well exploring everything from learning how to cross hatch an ink drawing to creating a scene with coloured tissue paper and glue. I think this class would be a perfect fit for what I’m doing. It would certainly be new and different.
Danny Bates said:
I would really like to win this class. I just received my copy of Diane’s book and look forward to trying some of her great ideas. I love to doodle and this would be my first ever online class!
Susan M. said:
Loved your other Doodle class, and I just received your book. Such a different way to approach painting!
Lata said:
It has been a very long time since I have taken any class. This will definitely inspire me to get in touch with my creative self.
A'isha said:
love to doodle…
Erica King said:
I have a seven year old daughter who draws all the time–she just sits down and starts with no preconceived notion and narrates these fantastic stories as she draws. Diane’s style and body of work feels like that kind of approach, but with a level of sophistication that makes me think of Chagall. I want to tap into that and be able to illustrate and tell stories like Diane (and my daughter!).
Sally Yoshida said:
I would love to have the opportunity to take Diane’s class because I love to doodle and dabble in paints, but due to lack of direction and confidence, I tend to give up after a while. Aside from being a lot of fun, I think think class would help me to really blossom and finally trust in my own creative voice.
Ken Kowalchuk said:
I am not a doodler but I am definitely looking forward to Diane’s Doodle class which I have already registered. I recently received her new doodle book (brilliant). I have taken other courses taught by Diane and find that I become aware of new areas of creativity inspired in each lesson of the Diane’s courses. Winning the free Doodling course taught by Diane would allow me to purchase extra art supplies. (I have never won anything in my long life of 66 years.) 🙂
Lynne Oliver said:
I would like to take Diane’s new class to become more playful in my life experimentation.
christywilson said:
i would love to take this class as it would help me to paint LARGE and i love the idea of turning doodles into bigger pieces (i could carry a sketch book and play whenever i have a moment with doodles…..i do a bit of this now, but would have an exciting context if i knew it was going to translate into a big juicy painting! thanks for the chance!
luvyellowcat said:

Loretta Mutti-Crichton said:

I have taken a couple classes through this online school and each one has been an opportunity to grow. As a ” non artist ” these classes have given me the opportunity to see color at a deeper level and to have greater spacial awareness. Such a blessing. I would love to go even further, and would love to win and learn and grow even more!

It would be so great to bring things many steps further ❤
Can´t wait for the book either!! (already preordered :-D)
Louis Allard said:
I love this idea and am very curious about this technique. I have been doodling for as long as I can remember. I never thought they were useful as serious artwork inspiration. I would love a chance to try this! Pick me! Pick me! :- )
koningbabel said:
This looks to me like a great opportunity to at last take up a brush and give painting a go. I love doodling and drawing, but painting still scares me a little, so yes please …
Ellen Specht said:
I would love to take Diane’s class. As a 70 yr. old doodler, it never occurred to methat I could turn my doodles into paintings until I started taking her classes. I LOVE her new book!!
albertjudit said:
Diane is one of my favorite artist, Her paintings are so close to me. I can not afford to buy it, so it is a great possibility to me. Thank you.
koreakiwi said:
This sounds like such a creative, fun class ^^ We all doodle and to take them to the next artistic level is a wonderful way to encourage each person’s unique abilities and ideas. Bravo for offering us this class 🙂
Nelly Wuis said:
In may all my teeth are getting pulled out with complicated extractions and stitches. I would love to make doodle paintings to be distracted in a positive way from the pain.
Gwyneth X Jones said:
Science professor mom in need of “Creative Me Time” seeks art course for a good time. 🙂
Didi Arias said:
“What if…?” is that I like to think about when I paint/draw/create. I think Doodling is a wonderful tool to answer that question and I am very intrigued by this concept, thus this class. I would so love to be considered to win this wonderful opportunity. Many thanks for this great and generous offer!
sproutlover said:
Hi, I would like to take the leap from my scruffy sketchbook to a finished piece of work. I think I could do that with Diane’s gentle coaching.

Wow! What an amazing opportunity for me to unlock my fear of painting, by taking me through doodling to more deliberate and skilled painting! This would be an awesome way to direct students who feel the same way!

Hello Diane, our children’s art group follow as many of the courses that we can afford and the children absolutely adore them.

I’d love to win a free place. I doodle all the time and only during the past couple of years have I thought about taking my doodles further. This class would be perfect to take my doodles further!
Marcy Anhaltzer said:
I would love to take the Doodle class. I have been a Doodler all of my life but never had a word for it. My parent’s home is filled with places were I Doodled on walls, bulletin boards and other permanent “canvases” (sorry mom and dad). I cannot talk the phone or listen to lectures, speeches, etc., without Doodling. It would be wonderful to learn more about this art form and how to expand my creativity.
Corvus said:
I would really like to take this class because – for me – art journaling – doodling – creating – etc – has always been a meditative – healing and soul filling experience – my art journal has been a companion through really good times & has seen me through some dark times & right now I find myself going to her often – a few years back – the same month I went into remission from breast cancer my husband was diagnosed with ALS – and with the constant changes & day to day uncertainties – my art journal is a constant – i’ve been finding it hard to access that part of my brain that allows me to stop thinking – just let go and doodle – i’m not sharing my situation for pity or sympathy – but thank you for offering online classes and let you know how valuable they are – with their flexibility- to someone like me – i’ve taken several of Carla’s classes & find that whenever I’m creating it feels my heart – allows my spirit to dance and my soul to soar – thanks for reading my share –
Creatively,
Corvus

Jan said:
Diane’s paintings are so joyful! This class looks like a wonderful opportunity to explore freedom in painting and finding your own voice. I would love to be able to skip and dance around in the studio in my favorite shoes
while doodling my way into a painting.
Jan Hillmer said:

Cos I’m a doodle dancer! I’ve been doodling all my (quite long) life … but very pointy 🙂
I’d like to find my waves and flows …
I hope this makes sense lol 🙂
Liita said:
Most of the work that I’ve done over the years has been very tight and detailed. Lately, I’m trying to loosen up, paint freely without reference material and paint from a source that’s deeper than what can be seen… It seems like the doodle classes would help tap into some of these ideas.
Sarah said:
While homeschooling my two girls, it has been important to me to include art in their studies. We have enjoyed a few online classes and have loved meeting people and seeing their art from around the world. Thank you for this opportunity!
Betsy Snow said:
I think this class might be just what I need to pull me out of a long non-productive slump due to some assorted health issues. Looks like fun!
Robin Johnson said:
This would be a great way for me to take the leap of transitioning my current represtational impressionistic style that has become a bit stale and boring to something new and fun.
Lynda N said:
Please consider me for a free spot. I have a son who is disabled and spend much of my time and $ with him…i am home a lot and this class would be a nice break from routine
Beata Makowski said:
I would love to win the free class. I am an art teacher on a mission to help children and adults realize they we are all artists in side…. Just that we all have a different artistic voices.
Niki said:
I would love to take this class. I am a chronic doodler 🙂 At work people poke fun because many times I doodle my way through a meeting or phone call. I find it helps me relax and I retain more information. Also a few years ago I took up painting as a way to relax and I now am trying to grow my skills and find my style. This class seems like the perfect combo. Thanks for the opportunity. I look forward to checking out your book
Cheryl Nowers said:
I’d like to take the Doodle class because I don’t paint or draw and wanted to learn how this year. My husband bought me Art 365, but that’s a different kind of class. Diane’s work is beautiful, and I would like to learn some of those techniques and skills. Thanks for the chance to win!
Debbie Kreischer said:
I’m stuck in my painting style and need to learn new techniques. Doodle painting sounds awesome!
LIsa Ficorelli said:
“D” is for ….. my “destiny” to win this class! “O” is for the “opportunity” to win this class to share this knowledge with my Art students. “O” is for becoming more “open-minded” to trying new techniques if I win this class. “D” is for “daring” to try new things in this Doodlle/Paint class. “L” is for the “leader” I hope to become when teaching these new techniques. “E” is for”exploring” new ideas and techniques…and finally….”S” is for “shining” like a “superhero” upon completion of this class!
== DOODLE!
Linda S. said:
I love the joy in your art. It makes my heart feel light and happy. I would love to learn how to create like this. Sometimes the weight of this world can be so painful, but seeing such joy as this truly lightens ones heart. I would love to learn. Blessings.
micah682016 said:
I would love to take this class but we had to tear up our back yard and so we dropped 20k into it so my art class purchases are done for quite awhile. This class looks like fun. I’d love to win a spot.

aozanic said:
I would like to experience a felling of painting, that I am capable of being a painter. And this techniques looks magical for me.
Kristen said:
It’s so easy to forget how to make space for doodling. I’m feeling so focused on the end product of my artwork lately that I’d welcome a chance to “have permission” to focus on the important part – the stream-of-consciousness doodling that is at the heart of artmaking. Thanks for considering me!
Beth Bachuss said:
I would love the opportunity to take this class because I am afraid. I don’t even try because I’m afraid of how it will turn out. If I have someone taking me through the process step-by-step, maybe I would have the courage to try and get out some of this creativity that is inside me.
Sam said:
I would like to win this class for my lovely friend Sara who is struggling with her creativity. She is working hard painting and composing but really not quite making her own marks – she is keeping safe and tight and not letting her self shine through. This doodle workshop would be perfect to help her realise that her own marks will be more genuine, satisfying to make and the results will be beautiful. I know that Carla’s online workshops have helped me in so many ways and they will be fab for Sara too.

I would love doing art “the other way”, but the most time, I don’t have confidence to risk it. So it would be great to be encouraged by Diane’s technique of doodling and painting!
Love, Susann
Darla Deiparine said:
I am 77 years young – I so love to try new things to keep me engaged in life with joy and purpose-doodle art would be a new means of allowing my creative and nurturing nature/soul to expand. -thank you for offering this luxuary of a spot in the class (no web site but blog is -joyfrommyheartblogspot.com)

I HIGHLY recommend Diane’s classes! I took her first doodle to paint class and it changed how I work! Her process is priceless and she is very generous in sharing every step of the way! Can’t wait for part two!! ❤️
Stacey B. said:
I’ve been thinking about taking one of Diane’s classes for a while now – winning a spot would change thinking into doing. I ordered her new book and it arrived yesterday so I’m even more inspired to look at my doodles differently.
Karen said:
I would love to take this class because I think it would teach me how to be less controlled and more free with my painting!

Wow, his looks like such a cool class. I doodle on everything and have frequently felt like my desire to Doodle could be used in a different way.
Nancy Schwickrath said:
Who wouldn’t want to take a class with Diane Culhane? And I have pages and pages of doodles that speak to me but are not developed in any way. This is the perfect opportunity to explore the path between doodle and painting.
Julie said:
Hi!
This looks like an amazing class, and really love Diane’s work. Would thoroughly enjoy winning a spot in this class. Have been very out of the habit of drawing (over 10 years now since I’ve drawn anything) and feel like doodling might be a fun way to get back into it. There is a little itch that keeps asking to be scratched, and would be fun to see what’s there. 🙂

The timing is perfect as I have been thinking a lot this week about painting my drawings from my sketchbook. Would love to explore that in this class. Thanks for the opportunity!
Beverly Williams said:
As an artist I find that sometimes I’m in a rut. When that happens I want to kick my art to the next level. I feel that this workshop would open me up to new ideas and new ways of thinking. This would be a boost to giving me a fresh start and a fresh look to my artwork. I love Diane Culhane work and I think it would be awsome to take her course.
Nancy said:
This class sounds AMAZING! Developing your own personal doodles into a large piece of art sounds so fun & challenging. Thank you!

peggygatto said:
I don’t doodle….yet!

Love to Zentangle! Love to paint! Love to put the 2 together like Diane!

In one of your classes, Carla, I did a scribbly doodled dog and I was fascinated with how it came out. I’m intrigued with Diane’s concept for her book and class. I’d ove to win a spot!
artiviews said:
I’ve taken 2 classes from Diane loved them. I love the energy and movement in her work and she has changed my life. I would love to be able to spend more time delving deeply into her process. Doodling and playing with paint makes me so happy and I need happiness these days. Thanks for your beautiful offer.
Shellie Glass and Anthony (child) said:
my 10 year loves to draw, doodle, you name it. I’d love for him to have another avenue to express his love for art – and by being selected to attend this class through one of the 5 give-away offers, he’d be able to continue his journey in art.
Annie said:
I think this is the class I need to get confident with my own mark making. When I have allowed myself to keep a regular art journal (inspired by Carla and Lynn) I was able to see what comes naturally to me and just started to like it. More confidence is definitely needed. Would love this class!
Annie

I like getting messy, I love paint and inky lines But I am too fussy, to let my soul shine. So this doodle and play would really make my day!
nini said:
Oh I’d love to be able to doodle! Also, I took the tree class and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Barbara Bingnear said:
After many drawing and watercolor classes, I’m struggling to ‘find my style’ and break free. I believe Doodling can be the key I’m looking for but I don’t know where to start. My doodles are just a mess. Thank you for this opportunity to possibly win this class.
Lynn Follis said:
I am a recently retired art teacher and have never had the time (or energy) to make my own art. Would LOVE the luxury of being on the student side and being able to “play” with guided instruction.

I’m a French woman living in Luxmebourg and I would love to win a class with Diane. I do a lot of doodling but I don’t know how to transform it into a painting. I’ve just ordered the book but it would be nice to do the class as well.
Kathy Sweeney said:
I’ve taken two classes with Diane through Carla’s site and also recently started “inhaling” Diane’s book – the namesake of her new class. Diane’s teaching style is gentle and unassuming. She makes you feel so proud of your seemingly smallest accomplishments – and that she can do this via a virtual class is pretty impressive! I hope to win a spot in the upcoming class as a retirement gift to myself!
Patricia Strike said:
I love Diane’s paintings and would like to start adding doodles to my artwork. I just ordered her book!
Lu said:
I am a life long doodler and a fledgling painter. Thank you!
Lulu said:
It would be a fun way to enjoy spring, learning a new way to warm up for art. Hope I’m one of the lucky winners. I have not been pursuing art daily and I want to develop the habit.
Susan Bliss said:
In days long before texting, I used to get in trouble for doodling. “Inattention” they called my practice, from the age of seven to workplace meetings as an adult. What a relief to see doodles at last given their proper status. I would love to join you.
Danita Art said:
I’d love to win a place to learn to lossen up a bit (or a lot).
Fei Lo said:
I just started my drawing lesson. I imagine doodling is like practicing Tai Chi on your finger tips with your thoughts flowing freely. I would love to have this opportunity to learn from Diane. Thanks!
Lulu said:
Would enjoy this class as a way to refresh my spring. It sounds lovely. Hope I’m one of the lucky five.
Cindy said:

Jainnie Jenkins said:
I would love to take this class! I like the idea of using personal doodles to create works of art. I’m also always trying to find ways to loosen up in my artwork and creativity. I have Diane’s book, but would love to take her class!

I have taken all of Diane’s online classes. She is a fabulous artist as well as a wonderfully inspiring teacher. I would highly recommend her classes (“Doings of A Doodle” was a joy).
Kelli Stricklin said:
It would be great to win Diane’s Class! I love to create, but sometimes have trouble generating ideas to get started. This looks like a great way to get the creative juices flowing! Thanks for the chance.
Cheryl L Reynolds-Fefles said:
I would love this class. Some people don’t value doodling. But I love the freedom to have your mind wander and have your pen, pencil, paint brush follow.
Nora Clemens-Gallo said:
I would love an opportunity to participate in this class. I have never been on an online class. I love to doodle and this will be awesome to learn new things. Thank you for the opportunity!
lindsey said:
I would love to take this class and remember that I can be creative and that I am important enough to take time to let that creativity come out. This looks like an amazing class to bring those creative feelings out!
Serena Mira Asta said:

Noreen Winogradoff said:
Wow thank you for the opportunity to win Diane Culhane’s classes! My gosh what a treat this would be for me for self care! I paint and I doodle and I would love to engage in this treat from Diane. Again, thanks for the opportunity!
Risaprofana said:
The first of Diane’s doodle class was one of my favorite art on-line class.
Jude Reid said:
I would enjoy learning how to take simple doodles into interesting expressive art pieces. The intro and the shown works look really great!
artexpectations said:
I would LOVE to take this wonderful class myself, but I’d like to win it for my mom, who is turning 75 on Saturday, April 29! She put aside her dreams of doing art all her life to work and raise her three kids (myself and my two siblings). She’s trying to get back into art after all these years, Yeah!
Monica gardenier said:
What a great way to relax and awaken my creative side after a stressful day at work.
Terry J Walker said:
I am an avid doodler all my life, and it shows up all over the place in my house. Lately it has been seen in my paintings. I would love to win a space in Diane’s class to expand my doodle-i-do-ness. I love her work!
leslie b said:
I love Diane’s artwork, and I really like the idea of just doing a small doodle and creating something bigger, more fun, and a bit more free and wild! Thanks for the giveaway.
Kathleen Loose said:
Doodling happens almost anytime I have any mark making tool in my hands. Painting is not something I have done much of … since middle school. Would love to take this class both to learn new skills and as a respite from stress.
maria c johnson lynch said:
I need this class for Art Therapy. I lost my brother earlier this month to a heart attack. He was only 61. I would love to take this class to renew my spirit and immerse myself in creativity and beauty.
MK Culver said:
I always figured there was more to a doodle ‘than meets the eye’. Now to think a painting can evolve from a doodle is simply inspiring!
Cynthia Culbertson said:
I struggle with confidence in drawing and need ideas and encouragement for making my own art.
Helen Alksnys said:
doodle, enlarge doodle, paint doodle… my brain is going whhaaaaaa? really? something i never even considered possible before… i mean, after all, when your whole family screams you have no talent… really? i could sneak some ddodles and paint them? hmmm might be better than potato chips.. 🙂 am i brave enough….
smurphy4 said:
I’ve taken several of Diane’s classes in the past, and I’m a big fan! I’ve just started painting on surfaces larger than 12×12, and I would love the challenge of 30×30-not to mention working with Diane again.
Michele Taylor said:
I think it would be totally awesome to win a class spot! I have been doing more
art through online classes and found that this really works for me. Doodling brings
such a joy with its non-judgemental whimsy, and to create something so large, well,
boggles my mind, thank you for the opportunity,
Li Li said:
I would love to win a slot so that I get to express myself through doodles and to overcome my fear of an ugly art piece. I don’t earn much in Malaysia, I hope this will help me to better myself in art and give back to society one day.
Thank you for your kindness in giving.
Arlene Corbin said:
Winning a spot in this class would take me well beyond the simple DOODLE! The class opens one’s eyes to the true depth of the simple DOODLE. This class would be a dream come true for me
Dawn SearS said:
Diane’s presence and authenticity is undeniable. I love the work on the page and hope that’s what we will be working on.

I recently started to paint abstractly and I think this class could really help loosen me up. Fingers crossed.

I always wanted to take a class with Diane..Going to retire in few weeks : it will be perfect for me.
Marion Bachmann said:
I never like my doodles, maybe this class could change it?
Nicole Griffin said:
anything that calls for more doodling gets my vote! I’d love to tap in and expand ny creative connections. Mindful and meaningful.
DebZ said:
I’d like to take this class to go beyond realism and “play” creatively.
Ildy said:
It would be a great challange to follow your interesting way of painting. Thanks for the possibility to win free spots. hug and love Ildy from Budapest
Mia J said:
Your paintings are so inspiring, I think it would be a blast to have a go at trying to be as creative as you (not that I’ll ever get to your level, but trying would give me a huge boost)! And it looks like so much!
Jinan said:
Love your unique combination of doodle and painting. I have started to doodle and paint and try to find the artist in me. Like to take the class to take a step forward.

rose gonzalez said:
What can I say but thank you for a chance to win this great online class. Just the title is inspiring. I am so grateful to be considered.
Christiane Strake said:
This class would be best for me, because I always wanted to learn doodling and the idea to create painting basing on doodling seems to be terribly nice. And that all instructed by the so much inspiring woman -Diane- that is tremendous fantastic. Besides sharing all the creative processes with all the enjoyable sympathisers… what should I say: there’s absolutely nothing opposed to this. I hope to receive this giveaway with all my heart😍❤️
Suz said:

After a long stressful school year, I could use a little doodle art therapy in my life.

I would love to take this class. I have started art journaling and sometimes I am just stuck staring at a blank page. I would love another way to start my painting.
**trying for the 4th time to post this comment!!!!
starseasons said:
Yes, I would be great to win a spot in Diane’s class. I can doodle. Painting is a bit of a challenge so it does seem like a good place to state.
Thanks
Linda said:
This class looks like fun. Doodling had become my favorite way to express the view of the world. It would be exhilarating to learn to combine paint and doodle taking it to a new level.
debgorr said:
I am confident about my ability to doodle but not so much about making the next step…

Thank you for the opportunity to win this class. I greatly desire to overcome my fears of making art. I’m feeling this would be the class to do that!
Julie said:
Thank you for the chance to win! I doodle all the time. I make greeting cards with stamps and ink, paint, etc. I think this technique would work perfectly on some of my greeting cards.
Chris M said:
This class is the answer to a question I’ve been contemplating…is it possible that my doodling which is so fun and in the flow could evolve into a “real” painting? Im so excited! =)
Annie Hamby said:
I would love to win a spot in this class! It would help me to loosen up and move forward in my art.

Gina Liuzzi said:
What a great class!
suzipoland said:
I LOvE to doodle and I LOvE to paint but sometimes it seems like one is with my right foot and the other with my left. I would LOvE to take this class because maybe, just maybe, Diane could show me how to do the two at once so I might not just walk, but hop, skip, jump and run and that would make my head and my heart sing! 💛

Lauren Shaw said:
This class sounds quite interesting because I feel like my life has been a consistent doodle, and over the years it has raveled itself up into a dull ball inside my creative soul. Lately, that doodle has been trying to get out, to express itself with shapes and textures, to shout at the world in a huge explosion of color!
Heather said:
This class sounds wonderful! I would love to get my creative juices flowing!
Anne Louise Gillilan said:
I would love to take Dianne’s class. I have never taken one of her classes, but love the looseness and flow of her technique. It would be very exciting to participate!
Tiffiny Lilley said:
I used to love to watch my mom, a travel agent back in the day, doodle as she talked with clients on the phone. And every now and then scribble down needed information. This was so many years before THEY realized that doodling is good for your brain and helps you retain information. I would love to win a spot in this class certain will thoroughly enjoy it!
