À propos de ce cours
Immerse yourself in a world of fantasy florals and find inner peace while drawing!
Making art can be a wonderful way to cultivate mindfulness. When you immerse yourself fully in the process and focus on every detail and every mark you make, you can easily forget your worries, at least for a while.
In this class, I’ll show you three drawing exercises based on mindfulness practices that will help you to slow down, de-stress, and stay present in the moment. As a bonus, you’ll get to create something really pretty!
You don’t need any skills to participate, and I encourage you to let go of any pressure to "perform" as an artist here.
We’ll play with intricate patterns and details, yet the whole process will be very simple to grasp. I'll show you step by step how to draw every design – slowly and mindfully.
I specifically designed these exercises around drawing abstract fantasy florals to reduce any self-criticism or anxiety you might feel regarding your skills.
When you stop obsessing about how your drawing "should" look and focus on the pure experience of putting pen to paper instead, wonderful things happen, not only for your mind and soul but also for your art. When you feel happy and relaxed, you get into the flow of creation and invite inspiring ideas more easily.
We’ll be focusing on the process rather than the specific outcome, so just take a deep breath and enjoy the journey.

Hi there! My name is Ewa Rosa, and I'm an illustrator and embroidery artist in love with all things nature.
I love combining organic elements with geometry and I draw inspiration from the underwater world, plant life, cosmos, and Japanese patterns.
I've always been incorporating tons of details and intricate patterns into my drawings and lately, this practice translated to my embroidery, which consists of hundreds of french knots and other elaborate details.
This repetitive act of embellishing my art with copious dots, circles, lines, and dashes is something that helps me destress and curb my anxiety.
I adore watercolors, and I like to explore them in a fun, messy way, that probably would give tra... Voir le profil complet
Projet de cours pratique
Simplicity is the name of the game here, so all you need to participate in the class is a pen and paper. Whether you use a luxury sketchbook or a paper napkin on a plane, you’ll reap the benefits of this practice just the same.
- You can switch the black pen for another color, and experiment with different paper sizes, from tiny backgrounds to big surfaces.
- Pencil and eraser may become handy, but if you don’t have these at hand, I’ll suggest some solutions.
Your project for this class will be to choose one of the exercises and try it out during your own little mindfulness session. Of course, you don't have to copy my designs exactly. Feel free to use any patterns and details you like.
EXERCISE NO.1: FLOATING FLORALS
EXERCISE NO.2: OVERLAPPING FLORALS
EXERCISE NO.3: TANGLED FLORALS
When you’re ready, take a photo of your artwork, go to the Projects and Resources Tab, click the Create Project button, and upload it to the Gallery. I'm curious to see which exercise resonated with you the most!
