Through mindful creative exercises and personal anecdotes, doodlers and artists at any level in their craft will gain practical experience in and discover the joys of drawing mindfully. Written by Wendy Ann Greenhalgh, a writer, artist and teacher of creative mindfulness for over 20 years, this book offers a fresh outlook on perception, flow and instinct, and demonstrates how the combination of creativity and mindfulness helps us realise our potential for inner freedom and wellbeing.
