Do Not Think | Drawing As Meditation

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday! And Welcome to Lisbon, Portugal.
In April, I was in Lisbon, leading the workshop "Capture The Lisbon Wow" alongside my friend Cynthia Morris, who is an amazing author, coach, and artist. Join me in the beautiful city of Lisbon as I climb its steep streets and share some creative vibes.
Today, Cynthia and I will go for coffee and a sketch, and she'll share a fantastic draw tip for this week's Draw Tip Tuesday.
Cynthia's tip is all about not thinking-using drawing as a way to meditate and get into the flow. She even shares some of her beautiful sketchbook pages filled with vibrant colors and unique compositions.
ASSIGNMENTIf you need a creative assignment for today, open your sketchbook and start drawing - without overthinking. Let yourself get into the flow and see where it takes you.
Check out Cynthia's books and resources, linked below!

I love Lisboa, my fav city ❤

[@KoosjeKoene]

It might be my new favorite too.

[@JoAnneSmith-di8ok]

Thank you for the tip Cynthia. It is so inspiring.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Glad it was helpful!

[@OkieSketcher1949]

Drawing and painting can be very relaxing. Just put your mind in neutral and drive on. Your mind will take over and leave that which stresses you out of your concerns. Much better than drugs.

[@KoosjeKoene]

And a much healthier addiction too.

[@CatherineWesterberg]

Great video & tip. Thanks. I love Lisboa too 💚 Next time I sit with my sketch book, I won’t think or fuss. Cheers!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Yes! Have fun

[@antoniomonteiro1203]
