As a child, when we go to the beach, we like to build a sand bunker, filled the center with water and poke a hole for the water to stream out. As we grow up and become an adult, taking on responsibilities, life becomes more complicated and pressure starts to build up.
A lot of times, we don’t know how to find a way out, because we have no clue the source of our stress and frustration. Picking up a brush and unleash all your anxiety on to a piece of paper may just do the trick. Researches have shown that painting is a way to improve your mental and physical health that can improve your overall quality of life. Knowing how to relieve stress and not let it get the best of you is something we all should learn to achieve.
How should one begin to paint? What kind of supplies should one use?

Paint and Enjoy.
