While the quarantine has put some restrictions, it has also opened up some blessings – the time flexibility, for instance, to make an elaborate, almost ceremonial tea for mt myself every morning! The recipe is very simple but it certainly is a soul soother amidst all the home schooling.

Materials:
· Castell® 9000 Graphite Pencil Design Set – Tin of 12 – #119064
· Goldfaber Aqua Watercolor Pencils – Tin of 48 – #114648

Let’s start by looking at the ingredients.
Start with a light sketch of the ingredients using the Castell 9000 pencil 2B on watercolor paper. Nothing needs to be an exact copy of the actual object. It’s more fun to draw them in your own style.
Start coloring the elements with the Goldfaber Aqua Watercolor Pencils.
Blend the colors with a deluxe water brush.
TIP: This water brush is particularly helpful because there’s no spill risk when you are sharing table space with others as I am right now.
Dip your waterbrush in the Connector Paint of your choice and brush letter your recipe title.
Once the colors are all dry, write the ingredient list and the recipe itself with a Goldfaber Color pencil to finish.
I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial as much as I enjoyed creating it. Stay well and stay creative!
Listen to “48: Approaching Art Mindfully for Greater Inspiration with Mou Saha” on Spreaker.
Another Holiday season almost wrapped up, a new year ahead of us – maybe like me, you too need to unwind and balance your to-do list with your own needs at this point. A large part of my own self-care is to spend some quality time with myself, creating. It helps me recharge and repeat my family’s hectic schedule each day.
At first, I used to feel guilty and selfish, but over time I have realized that making time for art has improved the quality of my life, relationships and general sense of wellbeing to a great extent. I wish to continue to make time for myself and my art in 2019 and I encourage that you do the same. You deserve it!
And if you wish to give yourself this gift of creativity and are wondering about where to start, you might benefit from the structure and inspiration of a year-long, self-paced art course and its supportive community.
