We all experience unhelpful thoughts sometimes and we all cope in different ways.

In this class, we will be using art as a form of mindfulness and self-care.

I’ve personally learned to use my regular art practice as a key part of my self-care. Engaging in this practice can be a tonic for mental health as we use both our creative brain and logical problem solving mind simultaneously.

Specifically, we will be using single-line drawing in this class. Remaining connected to our artwork well represents how we can remain connected and present with difficult emotions without being overwhelmed by them.

The only requirement for this class is a willingness to learn a helpful new skill.

So even if you’re a beginner to art, this class is for everyone! We all need ways to care for ourselves and I’m passionate to share this art practice with you.

By the end of the class you will be able to:

Engage mindfully with simple drawing techniques.
Add interest to your art with patterns.
Add imaginative colour to your illustrations.
Use a mindful art practice as part of your self-care routine.

Can making beautiful art really be self-care? YES! So let’s get to it!
