Self Empathy Portrait

By Tamara Laporte  |   in art journal  | Tags: art musings , art journal , tamara laporte , Willowing Arts  

How have you been doing since the Life Book Taster Sessions finished? Going through art withdrawal symptoms? I totally understand! When I don’t art for a while, I really feel it! Art withdrawal symptoms tend to manifest as feeling grumpy, ungrounded and stuck! Luckily there are always solutions to art withdrawal!

Firstly; come join us on Life Book 2022! That way you get access to all 35 tasters sessions again PLUS you’ll get access to 80+ mixed media lessons throughout 2022 and you’re given a super cool Virtual Gift Bag too! :) We’ll have an awesome 2022 together and you’ll never go through art withdrawal again, ha!

Secondly, I have some super fun & free tutorials on my youtube channel! So, if, in the meantime you need something immediate and NOW, come make a ‘self-empathy portrait’ with me.

As many of you know, one of the things I LOVE about creating is that it can be so therapeutic and meditative. Simply creating can have that effect, but sometimes I go into the creative process with an intention and a conscious process to experience some cathartic healing, self connection and transformation.

This self empathy portrait process is one of those projects that has an intentional healing element to it that can be really helpful when you are struggling with something or if you are going through something painful (hugs to you if that is the case!)

This video was first published a while ago as part of the Art & Soul Emergence Retreat, but is now available for free on my youtube channel, yay!

Oh, and in case you missed it! Last month I also posted another episode of my series ‘Finish A Journal’. I had so much fun! Watch it HERE. And watch me create this new spread:

If you love making art too and want to dive really deeply into all things creativity and wellbeing and really support yourself with self care and kindness, then do join us on Life Book 2022. You can currently join it with 30% off! Use: ARTJOY30 at the checkout! (Payment plans are available). Let’s make 2022 a year of self love and self care through creativity. I gotchoo! ♥️

Please enjoy the rest of this email with some of my ‘favourites this month’ and some other updates, you are loved!

Much love, Tam 💕


 

Things/ People Tam Found Inspiring this Month

Some times I like to share things that have made me laugh, inspired or moved me this month. In these difficult times, it can be supportive and uplifting to look for the positive and good in life! Hope this little list gives you a bit of a smile and that’s it’s helpful for you!

  • This made me laugh! 
  • No affiliation but I need this rug in my life, it makes me so happy! :)

Looking at more old journal pages! These are from around 2016/17 I think! 😊 The ‘one word’ thing has always been there for me. What I do when journalling; I draw/ paint/ scribble and then usually there is some kind of overwhelming emotional state that can be summarised or reflected in one word, so you often see words like: ‘open’, ‘stay’, ‘compassion’, ‘surrender’ on my journal pages. Like messages/ reflections from ‘my higher’ self. 😊
