How to use being mindful in nature to collect meaningful and personal inspiration for your expressive art drawings…
Our objectives are:
  • to understand that creativity, drawing and mindful connections with nature can lead to calm, balance, happiness, achievement, and a feeling of fulfilment.

  • to understand the importance of ‘stopping’ and quiet ‘nothing’ time for mindfulness and creativity.

  • to learn to experience nature fully and start noticing.
​
  • to use these mindful moments to start collecting your own nature moments to be the inspiration for your artwork.

Whether you’re feeling inspired to draw, draw, draw… or have been told to start a sketchbook habit, here we take a look at some reasons why you might keep a sketchbook and think about what format that sketchbook might take…
