Clear your mind with mindless art #mindlessart

If you just need to do something but don't know what do. Might I suggest you clear your mind with mindless art. It's and old ancient practice. No, No it's not really. ; ) but if I do it enough it could be for me by the time I'm 80! lol, I kid.

This was a fun activity while trying out my new creative brush tip markers. It took me just over two hours to complete but don't worry I speed it up so it can be a mindless watch to good music. This activity goes well with all my other posts on self-care and mindfulness in that you can learn sometimes the simplest things can calm your mind and ease your soul. Give it a try, and no you do not have to make suck a large piece or even be detailed. Just be mindless and color and create. But mostly have fun NOT THINKING.

This is what I learned today

Automatism. In art, automatism refers to creating art without conscious thought, accessing material from the unconscious mind as part of the creative process.

We Need More Tadpoles & Starry Hand fish!?

 

    Animal art prompts are getting more fun and less stressful to attempt. Thinking back on this page I sketched out only one tadpole, when have you ever seen just one tadpole? Of coarse not! There's usually a cluster of eggs which means of coarse many tadpoles, I guess it will be another do over for me  😄

I do enjoy water and ocean animals. This little tadpole, I decided needed to be a blue green, but he actually turned out to be more green gray and I am perfectly fine with him. 

    And the starry hand fish, don't even get me started, what a character! I love the pointed horns on the back, I say horns for lack if a better word. This fish reminds me of the horned toad, but who ever heard of a horned fish? I know, I bet if I did an internet search I would find them, but for the sake of a good discussion I'm just putting it out there. I used watercolor markers which did not blend as it should on the pages which are not watercolor paper, so can't really fault the markers. I ended up using the watercolor markers as regular markers and not adding water of coarse, which would have been a complete waste of time. I do like how the colors popped and each animal was colorful and fun. This was definitely a good time. How did your animals come out? what tools did you use?
