Color & Pattern Play: Be Uniquely You
This week’s simple art is relaxing exploration of shape and design and color, joyful expression of our own personal styles, and celebration of our unique selves. If you only have a few minutes, you can thoroughly enjoy this project in just a few. And you can also enjoy it for as long as you’d like. It’s another activity that you can step away from and easily return to.
You don’t need to have a lot of time to practice meaningful creative self-care.
Welcome to BETTER WITH ART! I’m Melinda and I’m here to encourage you to reclaim your creativity and practice creative self-care with weekly small-art prompts with inexpensive and easily-accessible materials. Reclaiming your creativity doesn’t need to cost a lot of money.
This week I’m using the following MATERIALS:
two sizes of waterproof pen
permanent markers:
for the first time, Shuttle Art
for comparison, Amazon Basics, Sharpie, an metallic Sharpie
Crayola colored pencils
Use what inspires you, or what you have at hand.
If you use any of my Amazon links and make a qualifying purchase, I will make a small commission as an Amazon associate. This does not affect your price, but allows you to support my channel with your new art supplies. So, thanks so much if you do!
I’m using a removable/replaceable page from a LightWish watercolor JOURNAL. You can learn more about it, and others I’ve been testing since my favorite I always recommended, here. Although not all BETTER WITH ART therapeutic art activities on this new channel will be done in art art journal, quite a few will be. If you’re interested in the best for the types of wet, dry, and layered applications I do, I’ll keep updating the list.
