I can’t do it!

Post by Muffit »

I don’t know if it’s because I’m going through a season of loved ones and pets dying but I can’t make myself want to learn right now, I just want to “get lost in something I don’t have to think on”. I have my brand new book just sitting there and I can’t bring myself to get past the supplies. My heart is too heavy right now. But best to you kind and talented folks. Laura

I'm sorry for your losses Laura. Take your time! Drawing has brought me peace when times were difficult. No pressure, just get back to it when you feel the time is right.

Don't 'learn'...
Doodle. Grab any old bit of paper or sketch book and pencil and pen and just twiddle about while thinking of your lost ones. Relax and enjoy good memories and ideas and don't worry about it being 'right' or 'correct' or even 'art'.
take the time for your heart to heal.
