Affirmations + Anxiety Busters

This project is pure fun. It explores color and texture, and includes a message to yourself. Affirmations help remind us of the positive. You can display this piece anywhere you need a little pick-me-up. We will also discuss ways to boost creativity over the coming weeks.

Supplies List:

• 8"x10" canvas or heavy-weight paper (Bristol, mixed media or watercolor paper)

• Paintbrushes

• Paint: Acrylic or Gouache -- an array of your favorite colors, plus white and black
