Easy sketchbook art

I am so busy right now with life that this is the first time I’ve picked up watercolor in a week! A week! I had a very limited time to paint so I decided to do something super easy that would help me relax. And you know what? It really did!
The heat tool is on my Amazon page. It’s like $10 and is great if you don’t want to wait for layers to dry.

When you say “ and that’s ok” with your lovely smile and reassuring nod, it feels very nice. Thank you. 🙏🏽💐❤️

[@aunt_b3365]

Yes it does. Also makes you fdel you can do it.

[@debramartin3966]

She's such a positive influence! Once she says that, and smiles, I'm a believer! 😊
Yeah, it feels nice❤
Thanks Andrea!

[@akiramado9198]

"sometimes that's all you have room for and that's okay" thank you for that. We all need to hear that.

[@melissasibbald4617]

I totally agree 🙂

[@emc2862]

So pretty, like a rainy morning. ❤👍

[@clairereynolds8583]

This woman is magical. So glad she shares her wonderful self with us. Love you Andrea

[@jamiesaks2846]

Love this idea... And then it could also make a great background for a mixed media journal down the line❤

[@colleend80]

Thank you Andrea 🎨✨️💖
That is so true❣️
I get overwhelmed quite often (emotionally and sensory), so it can be a calming idea ⚖️🌈🌻

[@debbiehernandez5564]

I have thoughts on repeat then i watch your post and the repeat thought goes away. Thank you.❤❤

[@joyjanssen4628]

Love it. Finally understanding why I NEED art. Hadn't put that together before........😅

[@clairereynolds8583]

.. great when that happens, isn't it? You brain is in gear all the time. Andrea's ideas help it run mre smoothly and positively. We can be so hard on ourselves at times

[@machelleshappyhobbies4977]

Thannnk you so much for this. I have depression and anxiety. I wondered why I enjoyed doing repetitive shapes. Love your videos. Have a wonderful weekend.😊

[@Min-cy6lm]

I love your content, makes me feel like I might actually be able to paint

[@msmacalter]

Thank you, Andrea

[@SkyeFoxx_15]

My brain has been so overwhelmed lately, I needed to hear that, can't wait to try this idea 💜

[@anneo3754]

I'm thinking mermaid tail 😊

[@kellypassalaqua3427]

Making it ok to do what you feel like and what you can! You are a beauty Andrea! 🥰

[@randilevson9547]

This woman is very empathetic, calming, and soothing. A great comfort in difficult times. Much appreciated. ❤

[@smol-one]

This reminds me a lot of certain things I do when I hand sew. Sometimes, I'll focus on just making a base piece when I don't have the creative energy to think of what to do with it.

[@willimina362]

That would make a beautiful wallpaper!!

[@maggiesalomonsson2564]

I enjoy these clips SO much! Thanks for sharing your talent!❤

[@mauseratimeowzebub8818]

Lovely. I was becalmed just watching you paint shapes.
I think this'll be a great prep for my other papercrafting -- make my own tape & background. Thank you.

[@ITSONLYMEWATCHING]

Andrea Nelson you're a life saver!!

[@seajelly2421]

Blues and greens are so calming. I felt my eyes relax. Your painting reminds me of sunlight on leaves.

[@susanschroeder8578]

I love watching you. Thank you for the great ways you make watercolor and me happy.

[@juliej5917]

This is so beautiful, Andrea🎉

[@timeenuf4200]

Oooh very worth trying if only for that satisfying tape removal sound. I'm going to try an infinity symbol.

[@shadowtouched16]

Love this!!!! The other day I started a audiobook and by the end of the first chapter I had to restart it 4 times. I finally just turned it off, went to my art space and painted a mini wooden box I want to give as a gift soon. In silence...no thoughts. just turned off and let art heal me.

[@cherachapin3826]

I like this, but I like to use circles and triangles. The two contrasting shapes is one of my most favorite things in the whole entire world!

[@elizabetheaton3882]

I always appreciate you bringing that reminder of "that's okay". Thank you for sharing.

[@jv7043]

I love this project & I always love your t-shirts!! 😎

[@AnnieWarriorPrincess]

❤ I love your painting and stress releasing subjects 😊! Beautiful! Looks like it would make a great background for a picture of my little Sweety!

[@marycupp3123]

You've got a friend in me😂🎉❤

[@glendagraves1637]

Just watching you calms me down.

[@kristyfrey2094]

I really need a collection of all of your journal projects in one place. I love them!! And i want to work my way through them ❤

[@Sandra-RC9Gx7]

I love everything about this! It looks beautiful. Made me think of rain and the ocean. Your message helped. Thank you. 💚🩵💚🩵

[@saramiller909]

I do things like this often. I find it mind clearing and meditative. I also go back through a lot of my old art like this and sketch or do line drawings over it…and sometimes I go the extra mile and turn them into gift tags or book marks.

[@donnabacon4681]

Maybe that's why I like to fold towels; it's repetitive and calming. And! They have to be folded neatly, edges matching, no sloppy towel folding!! When they are put away, the folded edge faces out so they all look so nice and even. Same with blankets and sheets.

[@holleighlordel1575]

I really like that idea! I will give it a try. I like the low brain power required projects. You can always go back on a different day and make it fancy with a white or black gel pen. 😊

[@sallyheath2427]

I LOVE this and am going to do this tomorrow!! ❤ Can't wait...

[@Ladycrafty6]

I love your videos! They’re all doable and satisfying to paint! ❤Thank you!

[@4BarbaraJ]

Absolutely love this!

[@ronitravels]

That was beautiful and calming, Andrea. Thank you.

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Cool art therapy advice! 🎉❤

[@s44577]

And that's ok. Always good to hear that.

[@angelsindolly]

I'm an artist that struggles with cptsd and extreme anxiety. I love this kind of idea for when you mentally just can't do something detailed but want to art for stress relief. ❤

[@jenniferw5095]

That's so pretty ❤. We lost electricity after 70 mph thunderstorm through the night. So I organized then decided to paint in the quietness after all the chain saw noise ended.

[@mskikiart]

Ur becoming my go to ...in three months I’m in a water color frenzy!! from Artist 2 Artist dots & circles I love too!... I tried this technique with triangles ... satisfying!..

[@garnetpleshette1336]

Thanks you're great! and so are your ideas and attitude.

[@smittysmeee]

This was very helpful and uplifting. Thank you ❤

[@bethruggles1668]

I. LOVE. UR. ATTITUDE. !!!
I had a panic attack today. And I was all by myself. That's not a pleasant way to spend the day. I love your watercolors.! I buy little figurines, mostly gnomes at the dollar store and I repaint them. But today's panic attack, that sent me to bed. Keep up the videos. Ur amazing 😍

[@salasbns]

Art therapy. LOVE IT.

[@warmwomyn]

Love your work. Thank you. Great exercises for an art-blocked artist. ❤❤❤

Will do with my favorite color purple.😊❤❤❤

[@shaigluskin1225]

Love this one and your channel in general thank you.

[@cattycorner8]

your hair is really gorgeous

[@ladyesther]

I love this! I love to make curves. It just feels like a nice motion to me. Actually I am surprised I never thought about doing this to reduce anxiety. I just bought a couple sets of pan watercolors. I am going to try this. Thank you. :)

[@annelane2966]

So pretty, peaceful

[@gracetelfer3588]

You are amazing!!!!!❤

[@BridgetWalton-wj4qe]

[@PMabq]

I do beadwork for the repetitive activity and the beautiful results.

[@iMageMotif]

LOVE your shirt 😻

[@vetercrew85]

Thank you. I needed this today.

[@hschwartz9277]

Also, once you have a full book of those pages & it's all dried you can just write on it. Like journal or "To Do Today" crap. Make your everyday better.

[@caraprescott3987]

Love this!

[@telalong5254]

i needed this today. thank you....

[@joannachampagne3836]

[@patriciahorelick6450]

So cool! Thanks!

[@Cathyat40]

I just learned about Yayoi Kusama's infinity nets and made my own using paint pens. I repeated a crescent or C shape in different sizes and positions.until the page was filled, using two blues and a green shade. It doesn't look like Kusama's but it's pretty neat.

[@sagesufferswell]

Thank you ❤

[@OrganizationalPsychologist]

Wonderful video ❤

[@elaboratelizard]

This can also work with digital. Just doing separate layers and playing with opacity.

[@1012chart]

Beautiful

[@MaxineMcGill]

I love your videos. Your videos are of great art therapy ideas. You are an amazing art teacher. Thankyou❤❤❤❤❤

[@brummieinbristol522]

Knitting has the same effect for me. I love this but I saw leaves rather than teardrops.

[@Watchlady196]

Thanks💕❤️👍

[@catherineskis]

Ma'am, thank you!

[@belindakelly45]

Great ideal.

[@jeffcarey3045]

cool avocado print

[@crittercre8r]

You can easily make those into leaves by adding some veins 😎

[@lydialostaunau79]

Glad I found you.

[@annesweeney5552]

Very cool
