People go through seasons too + FREE PDF Template

Short for time? Here's this week's new therapeutic art video!
Hey , did you know that people go through seasons, too?
Emotional seasons can actually mirror nature's seasons.
It's just that our seasons aren't all that straightforward. You might recognize which season you're in right now, or you may need help identifying what you're feeling.
Knowing your season is useful because it brings a sense of normalcy to what you're going through (ie, "I'm in an emotional winter. This is what I'm supposed to be doing/feeling. It won't last forever."). It can also help you figure out what activities and responsibilities are most healthy and helpful for you in this season.
I created a full-length tutorial that will help walk you through it all! We'll start with this simple coloring project ^^^ and then we'll focus in on just one season by using acrylic paints to illustrate it on canvas.
Supplies you'll need:
-A printed PDF* of the seasons tree
-Coloring implements like colored pencils, markers, or watercolors
- Small 8x10" canvas (you can also use watercolor paper or a piece of cardboard)
- Paintbrushes of various sizes
- Water cup
- Acrylic paints in common colors (I used blue, white, brown, black)
Find a safe, quiet space and head over to Youtube for our next free therapeutic art video.
You can do this! I'm here with you in the process,
*PS: Some of my video projects (including this week's) utilize printable templates - harkening back to the days when these videos were a paid course. I finally figured out how to get these templates to you for FREE. This is a Dropbox link that will allow you to access all the templates you need. I'll add to the folder every time there's a new project with a template. Hope that makes it easier for you!
