Welcome to Better With Art! I’m Melinda, and I'm here to encourage you to reclaim your creativity and establish a healthy habit of creative self-care with weekly small art prompts. Whether you have an art journal or just some paper, you can participate and enjoy the benefits of art-making.
Get out your watercolors, some masking tape, and a pen to practice some creative self-care with another fun and relaxing project inspired by an Instagram reel. You can check out more / sannaflorencedk
It's process over perfection to enhance mental, emotional, and physical. Useful for artists of all levels of experience, my weekly prompts are designed to be accessible, affordable, and enjoyable. Make art, Friend!
If you're feeling inspired to make your own art, I'd appreciate a like and a comment. Share it with someone who needs a reminder that art-making is not a waste of time. And subscribe for more art inspiration, tutorials, and weekly art prompts.

And here's my top value-for-the-money recommendation if you'd like an art journal to get started with my simple form of art journaling:
amzn.to/3oThdR4
I use it in my prompt videos, and for the art journaling groups at the library where I work. I LOVE the paper. If searching for something different remember the paper needs to be heavyweight and preferably hot-press because although I love the texture of cold-press it's really hard on markers and pens. This one is 140lb/300gsm.
Materials used
Crayola watercolors: amzn.to/49X4bo3
amzn.to/3WTh8eO
A marker or pen. I used the 08 tip of an inexpensive black water resistant set I got on sale on Amazon and quite liked it: amzn.to/3QXgWrc
