"Following the drawing and painting exercises makes me feel more secure, knowing that I do constructive things."
You can vary this exercise by:
- Making drawings of the same flower or leaf at different times of its life cycle, noting how it’s appearance changes over time. For example, an oak leaf would be a fresh light green in early spring, turning to gold and then crispy brown later in the year
- You’ll now have lots of drawings which you can use for creating a design to be used in the felt-making exercise
