Daily Meditative Art Practice: Pen, Paper, and Patterns

• Are you looking for a simple and effective self care routine?
• Do you have a hard time quieting your thoughts?
• Are you always judgmental about your work and find it hard to let go?
• Do you need ideas to fill up your sketchbook?

If you answered yes to any of the above then this is the class for you!

I am Neha Modi, artist and illustrator based in Amsterdam. In this personal and very warm class, I will share with you my experience of how I use art to clear the mental chatter and take care of my mental health. What started as an escape has turned into a beautiful, awareness filled, self care ritual

By the end of the class you'll be able to -

• Make unique repeat patterns through basic marks
• Get a therapeutic tool which you can return to time and again
• Experience a state of calm and strengthen your awareness about present moment
• Cultivate a playful and non-judgmental attitude towards art

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist, you could all benefit from this ‘meditative practice’. We will just  let the pen and patterns take us to a quitter and calmer place. 

 I look forward to seeing you in class!
