Reclaim Sundays as a day of reflection, insight and just a little laziness.
Learn to slow down, let go, experiment and play a little and just watch your creativity unfold!

Being creative isn’t all about making stuff and being good at it!
It’s way of seeing, feeling, listening, investigating and understanding the world.
Here follows 50 suggestions, exercises and projects to help you for a few hours once a week, unravel that ball of wool in your head you call ‘busy’, 'must' and ‘deadline’ and crochet it into that quirky Sunday jumper you may well love enough to want to wear on a weekday.

This is a personal account, with ideas and suggestions along the way of how to 'let go' of that critical bit of the brain and just see where it takes you. 

“Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.”
Alan Watts (Thinker and Interpreter of Zen Buddhism, 1915-1973)

“We should be mucking about all the time, because mucking about is enjoying life for its own sake, now, and not in preperation for an imaginary future. It's obvious that the mirth filled man, the cheerful soul, the childish adult is the one who has least to fear from life.”
Tom Hodgkinson (Author -The freedom manifesto)

“Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week”
Joseph Addison (English essayist, poet and Statesman 1672 -1719)

5 - blind contour drawing

If you think about what you're drawing too much, your logical left brain chips in and tells you what the subject "should" look like and the result is fairly uninteresting. 
Blind contour drawing is a method to fool that left brain and hence avoid this. It was popularized by kimon nicolaïdes in his book the natural way to draw (1941). 
Fix your eyes on the outline of the model or object, draws the contour very slowly in a steady, continuous line without lifting the pencil or looking at the paper. 
Look at the paper to place an internal feature, but once you begin to draw, don't glance down, let yourself go, find a stillness and concentration in just looking and following.
The result is what your right brain sees... and it's all quite charming and endearing.

"All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness".
Eckhart Tolle - (German born spiritual teacher and author of ‘The Power of Now’)
