Emotional Landscape

 Instructions from the book: 

 1 . Sit for five minutes and evaluate your current state of mind. Consider what feelings and emotions are with you at this moment. Think of a landscape that would visually represent your current mood. Feel free to find images in books or on the Internet to inspire you.
2 . On the paper, use a pencil to sketch the landscape you’ve visualized.
3 . With a paintbrush, use the watercolors to add blocks of color to your landscape. You can choose to dip your paintbrush in the water to change colors, or to make a particular color lighter or darker.
4 . Give your artwork a title.

 

 When you're tired of everyone's (bull)shit.

 

 Questions for Discussion:
· Does your painting speak to the emotions you’re feeling at this moment?
· How long have you been feeling this way?
· If you could shrink in size and jump into your painting, where would you land in the image?
· Is there a message in your painting?

I am feeling I should get away somewhere in nature far from the crowd. Everything about this landscape screams solitude. You would find me in the house cooking and then looking through the window to admire the landscape.
