Oscraps

This month, we invite you to explore the theme of Rest & Peacefulness in your art journal. In a world that often demands constant movement, rest is a quiet act of self-care and renewal. Peacefulness is the gentle stillness that soothes the soul, the deep exhale after a long day. This challenge is an opportunity to slow down, embrace calmness, and express the beauty of rest through your creativity.

 Reflect on a moment of deep peace. What made you feel truly at ease?

 Depict symbols of rest and tranquility—soft waves, cozy spaces, a quiet sunrise, or anything that brings you a sense of calm.

 Use soft colors, flowing lines, and soothing textures to create a feeling of relaxation.

 Explore the contrast between stillness and movement—how does peace settle within you?

Embrace simplicity—sometimes the most peaceful moments are the quietest ones.
Experiment with soft, blended colors, watercolors, or pastels to create a gentle, dreamy effect.
Incorporate words, quotes, or affirmations that encourage rest and mindfulness.

This is an interesting theme to go after Fortitude – because after we accomplish things that stretch us, we need peace and stillnss to recharge! It’s hard to get our strength back when all our energy is depleted to live through our challenges. Take this month to remember how far you have come in life, and How you are incorporating Peace and Rest in your lives.
