I want to share a really fun way to create a self portrait.... I love love love to doodle and draw in ink....I find the process a great way to let go and become present.....
I am currently taking a course created by Flora Bowley she is an amazing artist, I have followed her work for many years. Some years ago I took one of her online courses called 'Bloom True' at the time I had never taken an online art course before so didn't know what to expect...... well I loved it... she took me on a journey with my own art and re-introduced play, curiosity, spontaneity, nourishment, movement and so much more into my creative process..... well it filled my art making with joy....
So when I saw that she was doing another online creative workshop and this one includes a month of wellness prompts and then a 4 day retreat (virtually)..... well I couldn't resist so I signed up and I am now in week one of the 'Month of Wellness'
In this part of the course she shares nourishing practices as she believes (as do I) that personal wellness supports creativity....
Day one's invitation was to create a self portrait with one continuous line while looking at yourself in the mirror with loving eyes and not peaking at the paper...... it's such a great and fun way to let go of an outcome as each drawing is completely unique and quirky.....
I hope this inspires you to have a go.... have fun.... and Enjoy!!
