Being in nature
Charlie's drawings come out of walks with his dogs, looking at small things rather than scanning the view. Walk somewhere with ground, sky and a bit of weather. No phone in your hand.
This works well because the settled, attentive state from outside can carry into reading and make engagement feel easier.
Reading (mindful)
Charlie quotes Rumi, Mary Oliver, the Bible. A short read of poetry or a chapter of something that rings true.
This can be a good pairing because reading can prime ideas or moods that visual art work can express.
Visual arts
A sketch, a doodle, a line of ink. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse drawings began like this. The aim is not a finished thing; it’s whatever the walk inspired you to draw.
