Creative Self-Care FUN with a Little Personality + NEW ART JOURNAL TEST

Simple, colorful, fun, therapeutic. Join me for no-pressure art for creative self-care as I also test a new art journal.

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 that can be done in the privacy of an art journal or on paper if you don’t have one.

And I’m back with my weekly reminder that taking time to make art is not a waste of time. Art is good for our mental health, and our mental health is important.

Feel free to enjoy watercolor blobs for this one (if you’re not sure what I’m talking about, there are links to watercolor blob videos in the description of this week’s video), or markers like I’m using to test another art journal to replace my previous top recommendation that’s no longer available.

If you’re interested in getting an art journal that’s best for the wet, dry, and layered applications I use in BETTER WITH ART, here’s a link to a list I’ll keep updating.
So far nothing works as well as the Sophie’s Art Supplies mixed media journals. And I would love to find a way to source them.
