Drawing for Self-Care: Mindful Doodling & Creative Color

Do you ever feel scared to open your sketchbook? Do you struggle to find joy & lightness while you draw? Join me as we explore some mindful doodling in our sketchbooks using color as our stepping stone into a more peaceful practice. 

In this class, I invite you to join me on a mindful doodling journey where you'll

• gain tools to help ease the creative process,
• carve out some time for some artistic self-care,
• integrate more fun and playfulness into your sketchbook,
• explore color in a relaxed exploratory manner & learn more about what you like (and don't!)
• and most of all, feel more connected to yourself, your creativity, your body, and the present moment.

As years have gone by in my artistic journey, I've increasingly come to understand that the most important ingredient for a healthy joyful art practice is a true connection to yourself, and a variety of tools to connect to the present moment. In this class I hope to teach you some of these tools of mindfulness that can completely change your way of relating to your sketchbook, your art materials and your artistic explorations. 

Doodling and scribbling often carry negative/judgy connotation, but I personally believe that they are the gateways to true creativity—because they connect you with the process and the present moment. Cultivating an art practice that sustains and breathes life into you, rather than one that drains you and leaves you feeling frustrated, is a truly life-changing gift —what I hope with this class, is that it'll be a small stepping stone on that journey of finding an art practice that fulfills and sustains you. A little breath of self-care to come back to again and again, whenever you need it.

Let's begin. ✨
