If there ever was a time to embrace your inner artist, this is it.

We are home and isolating as much as possible, twiddling our thumbs. Our anxiety is through the roof. Watching just enough news to stay informed is still too much for your sanity. We need to take our minds off things, so we go for walks, listen to audio books and podcasts, Netflix and try to chill.

But we need something to keep our minds and hands busy during this time and art is the perfect solution.

Whether you are interested in painting (watercolors, oils, or acrylics), drawing (pencil, oil pastels, or charcoal), writing (screenplays, short stories, journaling), collage, sculpture, photography, pottery, or baking – this is the perfect time to get your hands dirty and just play around. Nothing to lose but time.

Personally, I just ordered some painting supplies and I’m looking forward to having Bob Ross teach me how to paint happy little clouds.
