I found a leaf that inspired me, and <strong>challenged myself to draw it and to enjoy whatever was able to emerge in that time<\/strong>. I did this repeatedly on watercolor wash cards, both while making dinner, and the next day at the picnic table with the snippet of leaves at my side.<strong> It was very satisfying to see a series of drawings come together in this way, and surprising how calming it was to dive deep, even for short bursts. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Series-Leaves-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Series-Leaves-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Series-Leaves-980x980.jpg 980w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Series-Leaves-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I try to be less picky and perfect about when I have the &#8220;right&#8221; conditions for drawing and exploring.<\/strong> I draw in the long car ride too. See the little moth like creatures in the circle below? We saw moth and insect samples at a museum, I pulled out my journal and drew their simple shapes and marveled at how similar they were. Then that night in the tent, I was struggling to fall asleep, and I shooed a bug from my cheek. She landed on the tent wall next to me. It was a tiny moth, just the shape I&#8217;d been drawing earlier. She came to visit and teach me to look at her beautiful antennae waving this way and that in the beam of my headlamp. I had great fun on the car ride home exploring those moth shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you look at the collection of drawings I did in a week, it&#8217;s not that much art work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Vacation-Week-Drawings-Messy-Pile-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50979\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, because I worked this way, I developed several ideas that I can take much further when I have longer chunks of time, and that&#8217;s worth a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Vacation-Week-Drawings-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50980\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope this inspires you to find ways to make art in the time you have in ways that are enjoyable and drive your practice forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can learn more about slow drawing, follow my patterns, and create your own with my book, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/draw-yourself-calm\/\" target=\"_blank\">Draw Yourself Calm &#8211; order here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/draw-yourself-calm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Draw-Yourself-Calm-Bar-1024x403.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Draw-Yourself-Calm-Bar-980x386.png 980w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Draw-Yourself-Calm-Bar-480x189.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;d love to hear about how you fit art into your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Flower-overlap-series-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Flower-overlap-series-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Flower-overlap-series-980x980.jpg 980w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Flower-overlap-series-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creatively Yours, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Wonderful, Creative You: Last week I had the great pleasure of returning to Maine to camp for the week with my family.
