Awakened Spring Tree Part 1

🌳 Awakened Spring Tree – Part 1: A Mindful Drawing Project for Beginners

Are you craving a creative break from your busy day?
Looking for an easy art project that soothes your stress and nourishes your spirit?
You’re in the right place.

🎨 In this beginner-friendly drawing tutorial, we begin a calming three-part art journey with Awakened Spring Tree – Part 1, now available on my YouTube channel, Art & Soul Insider with Barbara Lynn Burns.

As a seasoned Art Teacher with 25+ years of experience and a dedicated wellness practitioner, I guide you through both the how and the why of creating—sharing practical tips, thoughtful techniques, and gentle encouragement along the way.

🌸 Why This Project Matters

Earlier this week, I noticed the brown, bare trees and the muddy ground—nature still deep in its winter quiet. But I also sensed something stirring beneath the surface:
🌱 The quiet awakening of spring.

This drawing is a reflection of that transformation. Life often takes us through seasons that feel cold, colourless, or sad. But underneath it all, change is happening. Growth is preparing to bloom. Through this mindful art project, you’ll not only learn how to draw a tree, but you’ll also connect with the symbolic renewal of your own inner spring.

🖌️ What You’ll Learn in Part 1:

• How to tape a clean border in your mixed media journal

• Creating pencil line patterns to frame your work

• Sketching a tree with balanced, expressive branches

• Key drawing techniques: pencil pressure, negative space, smudge prevention, and more

• Using everyday tools like a white eraser and X-Acto blade for best results

• How to be present and enjoy each step—because this is art for your wellness

✨ Designed for Beginners and Busy Women

This project is perfect if you:

• Are new to art and want clear, thoughtful instruction

• Are a busy woman looking for a mindful way to unwind

• Love learning real art techniques (not just time-lapse videos)

• Are drawn to the healing power of creativity and self-expression
