It seems that the first humans began to draw, paint, sculpt work with their hands for various reasons: to communicate with those around them, to tell stories and legends, to capture important moments and events, or to express emotions, ideas and beliefs.
Create | Daily Benefits
Expressing ourselves with our hands is beneficial to our well-being because it helps us to:
- release our emotions;
- develop our imagination;
- experimenting with new things;
- find balance in our lives;
- making connections with people who share the same interests:
- understand and appreciat our environment and others.
Given the list of all these benefits (I imagine there are others), it would be a shame to go without!
If you feel relaxed, inspired and happy, it’s a sign that this artistic activity is doing you good.
In addition to reducing anxiety, painting, drawing, or sculpting helps to improve self-actualisation, concentration, memory, and reduce blood pressure. This creative process helps the artist to improve his or her overall sense of well-being while allowing for better emotional management.
Artistic activity takes us away from everyday problems and gives a deeper meaning to our existence.

Simply Create | You Will Need
You don’t need heavy equipment to start drawing.
A graphite pencil, a pen or a black marker (the colour blue though, is much more relaxing) accompanied by a sheet of paper, a post-it note, a corner of a newspaper or a notebook can be excellent supports to express yourself and let go.

Drawing to Release Pressure
Would you like to get rid of the mental load and the parasitic thoughts of daily life?
I offer you a very soothing method that does not require any particular graphic skills.
The method shared here develops spontaneity, imagination, order and serenity. For all creative profiles, young and old.
To be used as soon as the need arises.
RECEIPE FOR CREATIVE PEOPLE
1. Sit in a place away from the noise. Draw random interlocking loops on a piece of paper. If possible, try to keep the tip of the pencil on the paper when drawing. To give roots and wings to the whole composition, finish the end lines at the edge of the page (see demonstration below)
2. Then fill in the shapes with patterns, various colourings, anything you can think of. Little by little the abstract composition takes shape before your eyes!
3. Complete all the shapes until you reach the moment of ultimate satisfaction, that feeling of correctness that gives you pleasure. You will like some of them so much that they will end up in a frame. Yes, you will. Especially with large papers, the effect is quite striking.
