Get Ready to Create
Before you start painting, take a little time to create a cosy, creative space for yourself. Painting isn’t only about the finished piece—it’s also about nurturing your wellbeing while you create.
- Light a candle or play some music (see me playlist below)
- Lay out your supplies so everything is within reach
- Protect your space – cover your table with newspaper or an old cloth.
- Keep water & snacks handy – stay refreshed while you paint.
Before you dip your brush in paint, take a pause for yourself:
- Breathe deeply – Inhale slowly through your nose for 4 counts, hold for 2, then exhale through your mouth for 6 counts. Repeat a few times to settle your mind.
- Gentle stretch – Roll your shoulders, circle your wrists, or stretch your arms overhead to release any tension.
- Notice your posture – Sit comfortably, feet flat on the floor, and let your body feel supported.
- Set an intention – Whether it’s to relax, to play, or to simply enjoy the colors, give yourself permission to just be in the moment.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Before we dive into the steps, remember don’t stress about perfection, every painting has its own personality. Embrace those “happy accidents,” because unexpected brushstrokes can add charm and character. Most of all, enjoy the process—your Cows will be unique, and that’s what makes it so special!
