Art is such a fabulous tool to help us work through our feelings and live in the moment. Art can take us off to a wonderful relaxing, creative place where we can lose a few hours and work through our feelings at the same time.

In this video I hope to take you step by step through my creative process and show you how to get your innermost thoughts and feelings out and down onto the canvas and then work them through to find some positives while at the same time having a creative workout to lift the heart and feed the soul.

You can absolutely create this piece of art! There are no rights and there are no wrongs. What you create will be an expression of your innermost thoughts and feelings and will hopefully serve as a release for those feelings and mark the beginnings of your healing journey.

Create from your heart, without too much thought. Let it flow and completely lose yourself in the moment.

There are only 3 things to remember when creating art of this type and that is to dry the paint between each layer (I sometimes use a hair dryer on a cool setting to speed this process up), not to get caught up on having the 'right' materials.. you don't have to use the same colours that I use or the same materials. You can if you would like to but equally you can go your own way and use colours that you like and materials that you have to hand to make textures. The 3rd and most important thing to remember is that you absolutely can do this... relax and let it flow.. there are no rights or wrongs.

Here I will list the materials that I use but it's absolutely fine to use what you have and to get a packet of acrylic paints and a canvas from a local art shop art or supermarket. This process is about expressing your feelings creatively not about having the right materials to create.

Firstly, here is the link to my Etsy shop if you would like to use the same words that I used in my art piece.

For ease of having everything in one place and accessible to all I got all of my materials for this piece off Amazon. These were bought in bulk for a group art session. If you use these links as a reference hopefully you will find single pieces as needed.
