Art has long been a means of expression and relaxation. Mixed Media Mindful art combines creativity with mindfulness practices to promote mental well-being and stress relief. This beginner class is designed to introduce you to creating art for mindfulness, helping you tap into your creativity while fostering a sense of peace and concentration.

Before we begin, gather the following materials. Don't worry about having the best tools; what's important is that you feel comfortable using them.
Mixed media sketchbook or paper
Coloured pencils, markers, acrylic or watercolour paints
Paintbrushes
Canvas (optional)
