Why it works
When we sketch we use the right-side of our brain, which taps into our wellbeing, intuition and expression – making us a more well-balanced and happier self.
In order to draw, all we need is hand-eye coordination. In other words, everyone who can hold a pen can sketch! Sketching is creating lines and shapes on a page. Every line and shape you draw are a unique expression of you! They teach you, as you create. To learn to sketch is to learn to see.
We are not concerned about painting masterpieces, but rather about being present in the moment, enjoying the process and the way it makes us feel.
Sketching can provide incredible benefits for our mental health. Just watch your confidence levels and self esteem grow! Stress literally melts away and your powers of concentration are boosted.
It takes us away from the noise of everyday by transporting us to our own space where time stands still - for a few peaceful moments. It acts as a valuable mindfulness practice or as a form of meditation.
