Sinking In

SINKING-IN is the secret to alleviating or distracting anxiety this time of year. Contour drawing is one way. Here's how it works you stare at you non drawing hand and draw the non dominant hand SLOWLY without looking at the paper. It's trippy. You SLOW down the pen or pencil as if you were recording the trail of a carpenter ant crawling across your hand. Try this for a few minutes each day and you will be mesmerized into slowing and coordinating hand and eye. By the end of the week you will see progress. It's fun. This is an exercise I come back to when I've been away for a long time.
