A daily practice of playful experiments with paint and mark making materials can bring you great joy. Whether you are trying to stay in a daily art practice, or just want to unwind and doodle away mindfully, at the end of a hectic day, it’s a great habit to enhance wellbeing.

What makes is especially appealing and supportive, is that you can be creative within the comfort of a little sketchbook. It is not too overwhelming and it’s very portable, so it can be continued on holidays or when travelling for work too!

The most fabulous thing about journaling is there are no rules, boundaries or expectations. It’s entirely up to you how you would like to journal. You could begin in a numberof ways … anything goes!

You could begin very simply, in a tiny notebook, to create a small book of daily playful ballpoint doodles. You could choose to add some words. Or, you could gather some magazines and paper scraps to create a mindful collage torn and glued down.

Your journal pages may express feelings and memories of your day, or be a mindful practice of simple shapes put down on the pages of a little book, to relieve stress at the end of a hectic day.

I find using prompts helps me when I’m stuck for what to out down. Below are a few recent pages from my art journal, using the prompt “What brings you joy ?”.

Here are 10 prompts, to get you started. Pick any one that inspires you and grab a little spiral or bound notebook to get you going!

1. Spring Colours
2. Relaxation
3. Sunset sky
4. Hats
5. Dreamtime
6. Positives & Negatives
7. Messy Kitchen
8. Abstract Shapes
9. Torn wrapping paper
10. Ticket to travel

This term at Get Creative, we have explored “Contrasts”. Working in Mixed Media, students focused on one composition, rendering it in different materials in sketchbooks - pencil, monotone acrylic, duotone acrylic & finally, collage. The materials were then combined, to create a finished artwork. Here’s a beautiful series, showing the process & various stages, by one of the Wednesday afternoon students.

One of the most interesting Art Sessions this term, was exploring the importance of tonal value, when seeking to create a sense of depth in artworks.

Students worked on creating landscapes in monochrome, with a Yellow & Ochre palette.

It was suprising to see the tonal value of the various yellows & Ochres (illustrated in the black & white images).

As always, each artwork was so individual… something that is so inspiring to see in every session at Get Creative. Each student works independently and is supported through the process at whatever level they are working at (beginner or more experienced artmaker).

I am now taking bookings for the Autumn term. Please contact Get Creative via messenger or email kellwclient@gmail.com.
