This book encourages artists of all skill levels to practice mindfulness and meditation as they create relaxing, reflective artwork and focuse on enjoying the creative process, rather than worrying about the end result. As a novice artist I really enjoyed looking through this book. I feel that I can tackle the projects with some practice. Nothing looks overly complicated at all.
I just ordered some art supplies from Amazon. I’m not the crafty one in the family but do enjoy art. I’m going to give it a try once all of my supplies arrive. The weather is getting nicer and I think our back deck will be the perfect place for me to sit, relax, and paint!
