Although I enjoy working with acrylic, I enjoy gouache more, as it's more pigmented and has a matte finish, which doesn't feel plasticky at all. The only downside is it can't cover large surface area. I feel water color and gouache are conceptually more in tune with nature journaling and nature painting. And as for self care, today I came across EFT tapping.... Emotional Freedom Techniques... Yet to try it out. Just shared two thoughts that came to my mind, as I read your heartwarming article, Michelle!
Great!! 😀 I've tried gouache, oils, pastels, my favorite so far is acrylics. But, I'll try anything to create with. 😁 EFT? Yes, some of my colleagues when I was doing therapy offered those services. Seemed to work for many. Please let me know how it works for you should you test it out. Thank you so much for your comments and compliments. 😊
