Tools of relaxation

by The Philosophical Fish

I am trying to make an effort to relax more, and one very good way to do so seems to be painting or drawing. I just can’t focus on anything other than the way the paint moves, blends, flows. I can’t focus on anything other than the way the pencil glides over the paper, the way the ink start to form the image.

I have drifted in and out of painting since I was a kid; let’s be clear though, I am not talented. I have tried oils, acrylics, and watercolours; watercolours seem more forgiving. But there is definitely something about making some time to be creative that helps create some space to chill and be happy.
