#DoodlewashJanuary2021 prompt: Door.
Did you know that in Zurich in 2010, while excavating for a new car park, a wooden door believed to be about 5,000 years old was found?
I’m working on the back of the pages in my ZigZag book, now. The backgrounds were created a few weeks back using gouache. I forgot to scan in the backgrounds on the front, but I remembered the backs. This is what this background looked like before I added brush pen and colored pencil to create the wall and door.
I wanted to capture the rough stone texture of the walls. I think gouache & colored pencil is probably a fairly unique mixed media combination

I see two faces, too. lower section, one on each side. did you plan those? I am proud of myself for finding them. I rarely see things in photos
I was concentrating on the textures when I drew this so I didn’t plan anything, but I did see them afterwards. I see things all the time – it worries me sometimes, lol.
Beautiful and vibrant! I love how the door seems so hidden and ancient but the colors (and the faces!) seem to be witnesses to the celebration of being discovered and remembered. 🙂 It once was lost….but now is found.
Thanks a million, Judy! I love how everyone is seeing faces. I didn’t plan them, but that means I am as surprised as everyone else!
Beautiful! I see the 2 left and right faces and one mid left that looks likes a big cat head. 🥰🥰❤️
Thank you! I didn’t plan the faces or any other shapes beyond the door, wall and plants, but I love that eveyone (including myself) is seeing them!
