Relaxing & Simple Art | Abstract Mosaic Drawing (No Talking) Inktense Pencil

In this video, I’m creating a soft, mosaic-style abstract drawing using Inktense pencils on A4 paper. I'm using a plastic palette here for the first time, which really meant that I wasn't wasting the inktense pencils on a paper palette and I found it much easier to work with. This is a quiet, no-talking session — just the gentle process of building colour and shape, with water activating the pigment to create those subtle blends and variations. The result is a flowing, pattern with a slightly stained-glass / mosaic feel. I hope this video gives you a little space to slow down and enjoy the process. This style is very accessible — you can take it at your own pace, pause when needed, and return whenever you like. Thank you for spending a few quiet moments here. This drawing took about 2 and a half hours to complete. Time consuming, but a lot of time to relax - I've used Time-Lapse to make it more watchable.

After spending eight years perfecting my techniques, I had to close my selling platforms due to my health — but I didn’t want that knowledge to be lost. So, I began sharing everything here on YouTube to help others learn and create too. Since then, I’ve also been diagnosed with Connective Tissue Disease (February 2024) and Cutaneous Lupus (June 2024). I now live with chronic fatigue, brain fog, and episodes of pain and exhaustion. Because of that, I’ve shifted my focus to exploring art techniques and crafts I’ve always wanted to try but never made time for. Drawing has become my go-to creative outlet — something I can do quietly, even on difficult days. For anyone dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome or autoimmune conditions, I can’t recommend it enough. Sometimes, a sketchbook and pencil can bring far more peace than endless doom-scrolling. Do subscribe if you don't want to miss out! You can turn your notifications off in your settings, and just catch up when you like, with what you like in your subscription feed. Here you’ll find a selection of guided and non-guided drawing videos, art experiments, gentle monthly catch-ups, reviews and craft projects. I’m always refining ideas, experimenting with techniques, and sharing the process honestly — not perfectly. If you’re exploring new art techniques, returning to creativity after a break, or simply looking for a more realistic approach to making art or craft, you’re very welcome here. I share calm, thoughtful art sessions focused on neurographic art, zentangle, doodling and creative development. Living with autoimmune illness and chronic fatigue means my progress isn’t always consistent. Some months are productive, others quieter. Drawing keeps me grounded — a quiet form of art therapy and a way to unwind. If that pace resonates with you, and you value steady creative growth over perfection, I’d love for you to subscribe and follow along.
