I am sure you must have heard about the new found therapeutic adult colouring trend hat is sweeping the nations. I have always found drawing and painting very therapeutic. The first thing any art school teacher will tell you is to carry a sketchbook with you all the time. In it you can doodle, write down ideas and basically do whatever you want. It is your private journal!
A few years back, when I was a caregiver for a family member, I often spent hours at Emergency or other scheduled hospital visits. Back then, electronic devices were not as popular as now, so I toted around my trusted sketchbook and filled them with lines and shapes. It was a really good way to cope with stress. As a painter, I have the intention to turn these drawings into a painting eventually, but I simply have too many to put onto canvases. I am so excited to see the current rage for adult colouring ( here an article about this anti-stress trend ) books as a mean of relaxation and therapeutic outlet. I decided it was a perfect time to dig out my drawings and work them into designs perfect for colouring.
If you haven't tried colouring as therapy, here are two free downloadable pages as my gift to you to get your colors out and play. I want to send these free downloads out on Mother's day because what mother do not need some relaxation fun, but to the gents out there, feel free to print and color away too. My plan is to comply a whole book for people to colour with and enjoy. Please sign up for my newsletter to be notify for upcoming posts. One question I have is How do you feel about an ebook version vs. a hardcopy to colour from? Leave me a comment and let me know. I would also love to see what you do to these pages so please share and tag me on Instagram @astridfox_art, Facebook: Astrid Fox Art and Designs or Heal me in the kitchen. Please respect that these are for personal colouring use only and not to be used for any other design purposes. I can be contacted for commission opportunities astrid@astridfox.com
