Zen Painting

This is a painting for anyone with anxiety and stress and likes to doodle. You can paint this first step one day and then another day you can add the details with the ink pens. This is a great task for those that don’t know what to paint, but wants to paint without any judgment or feeling pressured to have the “perfect painting.” If you like it and want to do more, you can keep a journal of these art tasks and see your progress over time.
