About this class
Head off, colors on.
Our everyday lives are often full of decisions, deadlines, responsibilities and the feeling of having to function. In this course, we create an island of peace where you can create something just for yourself without pressure, without expectations of perfectionism.
I'll show you why a sketchbook is more than just a book for doodling, it will be your creative companion, helping you to let go of thoughts, clear your mind and get back to feeling and doing more. With pen, brush, paints, and simple creative impulses, you can experiment, doodle, paint, draw and let the colors flow.
Particularly practical: A sketchbook in the format A6 to A5 fits in every pocket and can be taken anywhere. This creates small creative breaks just when you need them — at home, on the go, in a café or during lunch break.
In the first part of the course, we discover the world of the sketchbook together. You'll learn why it's such a valuable tool for creativity, mindfulness and relaxation and how just a few minutes a day can become a small meditation.
This course is for anyone who wants more ease, creativity and conscious breaks in everyday life. You don't need any special experience — just a sketchbook, a bit of curiosity, and a willingness to make the first line. Sometimes that's just enough to get back to yourself.
