More #ritualshapes explorations, inspired by the vessels of my daily mindfulness routines. Chunky & blended. Going to share a lithograph process exploring these shapes soon 🗿 #marinaesmeraldo #drypastels #artistsoninstagram #mindfuldrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CbXfXAhMvzR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pomegranate top. Monday I joined a zoom session on drawing Mindful Still Life with Susannah Pal from @londondrawing Itvwas very enjoyable and meditative drawing (sort of) with a group of people 😄 my subject was the dried top of a pomegranate.

"The Big Moment of the Day" 👸🏻👰🧚‍♀️💃~ So when I was in my usual #zentangle space of drawing, my husband was sitting on a chair watching me draw for like 5 or 7 minutes, and he exclaimed - that he felt really calm just watching you draw! To reassure, he checked his #garmin #watch and his heartrate showed relaxed! 💕 Unnerve your stress; rekindle your joy; enjoy a good sleep; refresh your day with this #mindfuldrawing #zentangle #beginnersclass #onlineclassesoffered through this whole month! #zentangle #meditativeart #zentanglemethod #inkart #lineart #patternart #zenart #zia #zentangleinspiredart #certifiedzentangleteacher #Delhi #artistsofdelhi #artindelhi #zentangleteacherindelhi #zentangleindia https://www.instagram.com/p/BuHATXZgfmI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m6axy67sya32

Sketches from my new project: the Joyful Everyday 🛋 taken from my proposal for the @adobe creative residency!

These drawings were created to reflect mindfulness meditation. I practiced mindfulness to combat a particularly bad episode of panic attacks and anxiety in my 20s and as it started to alter my negative thought patterns I also saw a natural reflection in my drawing at the time. From a usual loose expressive style I found myself wanting to create focused repetitive pattern which took hours of mindful concentration. I used drawing as an extension of my meditative practice. Using fine tipped pens, pencils or silverpoint I gave myself a set amount of time, sometimes just five minutes but other times up to 5/6 hours, to sit and draw without distraction (wherever possible!) using the time to try and keep my thoughts only on the drawing and the present moment. 

Mindfulness & Creativity research, new books arrived! Developing ideas for a primary school workshop next week with sensory body drawings. 💡🌱✏️. . . . #mindfuldrawing #bodydrawing #littleartberlin #drawingberlin #grundschulekunst #primaryart #breathecreate #kinderzeichnung #kidsdrawing #berlinworkshop #berlinmitte #kinderkunst #berlinmitkind #berlinprenzlauerberg #wendyanngreenhalgh (at little art)
