Pastel Nagomi Art doesn’t only involve creating beautiful pictures. This is a therapy that allows you to explore your emotions through color and texture. Imagine it as a form of yoga, but without the poses. Each stroke and blend is like a deep breath, calming, centered, and grounding.
This art form is beautiful because it’s simple. It’s not necessary to be an artistic genius to create beautiful things. Grab some pastels, paper and let your heart lead your hand. It is meditative. While you concentrate on blending colours and forming shapes, your everyday worries seem to disappear.
Imagine yourself sitting at the kitchen table, pastels in front of you on a wet afternoon. You grab a soft blue stick and start drawing waves crashing on the shore. You feel closer to the scene as you draw it. The rhythmic movement becomes almost hypnotic.
It’s not all about relaxation. There’s also science to back it up! Pastel Nagomi Art, for example, can help reduce stress hormones. It also increases feelings of wellbeing. You can give your brain a mini vacation without ever leaving home.
I’ll tell you about a friend of mine who went through a tough time last year. She came across Pastel Nagomi Art while scrolling through the internet late at night (we’ve been there). She was intrigued by the promise of peace and decided to try it, despite her lack of artistic ability.
