A way to release stress by drawing - WeArt Paint Studio

Stress is the word we always think of or use. This word had become normal in adult world. We have been living in a hectic lifestyle which we always getting ourselves even more stress. 

There are few ways to relieving stress out. 

1) Draw something that comforts you. Content does not matter as much as the connotations you associate with whatever you choose to draw. If you find mountains or trees relaxing to be around, try your hand at drawing your very own.

2) Be somewhere where you feel calm. Choose somewhere with minimal distractions. Definitely switch off your phone, and avoid areas with television or computers.
Somewhere private is best, as your drawing will not be inhibited by the presence of others, and you will be less likely to be interrupted.
Get outside. Simply being outside will calm you down. Drawing outside can also give you inspiration and ideas of things to draw.

3) Listen to music while you draw. Music can powerfully affect your mood by relaxing and inspiring you. Consider your music selection. Soft, rhythmic music (ideally without lyrics) will be especially effective in putting your mind at ease.

Vary the music depending on your mood – faster music can energize you as long as it doesn’t distract you or make you uncomfortable.
Play songs you know well. Lyrics can be welcome if you already know them. Singing along or mouthing the words without thinking can have a calming effect that distracts you from whatever has been stressing you out.

OK, come come , let me teach you easy way to release stress. DRAWING !! you don't have the talent to draw, you don't need a skill for it. Just draw it out, what you dream , that's what you draw. 

I had been invited to "weartpaintstudio" to experience draw with canvas paint. It do feel like I'm drawing artist. I had left drawing lesson since at least 20 years ago. hahaha..
