Winding Down: Neurographic Shapes

It’s relaxing and colorful no-pressure fun this week on BETTER WITH ART.
I’m Melinda and I’m here to encourage you to reclaim your creativity and practice creative self-care with weekly small art prompts that can be done in the privacy of an art journal or on paper if you don’t have one.
If you’d like an art journal ideal for my simple form of art journaling here's my top value-for-the-money recommendation I mention in the video:

I use it in my prompt videos, and for the art journaling groups at the library where I work. I LOVE the paper. It works well with the dry, wet, and layered applications I use it for. If searching for something different than this three-pack, remember the paper needs to be heavyweight and preferably hot-press because although I love the texture of cold-press it's really hard on markers and pens. This one is 140lb/300gsm.
This week I also use a black Sharpie:

And Amazon Basics fine point permanent markers:

I do this! I didn’t know it had a name. I like colouring in with dots instead of full colour.

Ooh, dots are a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
