Making art is a form of self-care. In this Skillshare class, you will learn how to relax and get in the flow with ocean-inspired doodles. You will practice different patterns and finish by creating an abstract patterned seascape.

When you feel stressed out and overwhelmed and you combine it with the short attention span most of us suffer from these days, you get a dangerous mix, that makes your body and mind call SOS. But often we just don’t know how to rescue ourselves.

And this is where making art comes into play.

A well-chosen creative exercise will allow you to enter the state of flow, which means you’ll be so immersed in the practice, you’ll suddenly forget all about your phone and the latest TV series, and everything going on around you.

I'll show you a bunch of fun doodling exercises inspired by the ocean. They will help you to clear your mind, calm down and unwind.

We’ll also talk about designing small rituals around your creative sessions, to get you in the mood and help you relax even more.

By the end of this class, you'll be able to create beautiful layered seascape, but what is more, you'll feel more relaxed and grounded in your day!
