Artwork- Zebra Pen Technical Pen in a Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchbook
Doodlewash prompts: Walk, Monster, Party, Door
Sung to the tune of Monster Mash
On a walk through the graveyard, late one night
My eyes beheld an eerie sight.
All the monsters were gathered there,
To party down and paint plein air.Chorus:
Wa-ooooh!
They did the wash, they did the Doodlewash
October prompts, they were awesomesauce.
They did them all, it was quite the romp
When the monsters did the Doodlewash prompts.
Wa-ooooh!With watercolor, a zombie clown,
He was painting with mummy brown.
Wolfman was sketching Frankenstein,
With Conte crayon in bone and sanguine.Repeat Chorus
On vellum skin worked the graveyard ghouls,
Rubbing headstones with their graphite tools,
With oozing hands, the living dead,
Smeared face paint on Pumpkin Head.Repeat Chorus
Engraving symbols into the floor,
And onto the mausoleum door,
Skeleton shaved into stone
Using nothing but his finger bone.Repeat Chorus
Wah-oooh!
Wah-oooh!
Wah-oooh!
For history buffs, in the 16th and 17th centuries,Mummy brown was made from the ground-up remains of real people mummies. Eventually, artists found out and the practice was ended. You can still get a color called Mummy brown, but we hope no mummies were harmed in the making of it.
Sanguine is the Latin word for blood, and some chalk, crayons, pastels and ink of color that resembles dried blood are commonly called by that name.
Vellum was originally made from calf or sheep skin, but legends often refer to occult books bound with human vellum skin.

Love it!
Many thanks, Susan! You can tell I had a lot of fun with it!
This was great!
Thank you!
oh my word! you are so good at this story telling rhyme-y thing, I love it!
Thank you, Alice! I find the poems easier than the drawing, lol. I have weird brain!
All so clever — the artwork and the poem! But, although very interesting, the descriptions of the…ingredients…of the art supplies is totally gross! Perfect for Halloween. :O
Excuse me…”are” totally gross! 🙂
You sound like me! I’m always getting the wrong tense because my hands type faster than my brain!
Lol! Thank you, Kathee! I had so much fun with this one!
So much fun . . . both the artwork and the song! Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you, Leslie! I had a lot of fun with this one!
