I have returned to doing arts by hand; the turmoil of the world around me is ever present as the news comes in 24/7, and as much as I try to ignore them, I am drawn to them. The constant stream of headlines and updates can be overwhelming, but I find solace in the peaceful rhythm of creative expression. Concentrating on doing something with my hands, in this case learning aquarelle painting, has become my refuge. It allows me to escape the chaos for a while, deepening my focus as I explore the fluidity of colors on the paper. Creating my own style and learning how the medium works is not only a journey of artistic discovery but also a relaxing exercise for my mind. As I mix and layer hues, I immerse myself in each stroke, allowing the worries of the outside world to fade into the background. This meditative practice brings me a sense of calm, as I cultivate patience and precision, ultimately finding joy in the process of creating.
Here are some aquarelle artworks done with the purpose of mediation. What do you think of them?
