It all starts when......
During lockdown, I was on furlough about 6 months. I felt the pressure on my mental health. It was unsettling and unpleasant. I had a discussion with my friend who was planning to study an MA in Art Therapy. Some of my friends are nurses and they tell me the impact of Art Therapy at work. They do see obvious improvement in some patients. They recommended me to try painting or drawing. It might lift up the anxiety and stress in my mind. If I feel better while creating art works, that will be the best news. Therefore, I decided to do oil painting that it takes time to dry the paint giving more time to play with the colours. I had been watching YouTube and Instagram channels for learning techniques for about a year. Finally, I created my first oil painting on 21st January 2021.
