Sketching for Mindfulness: How to Start a Gentle Daily Practice 🌱

In this first edit promoting the new course “Inspired By Nature”, Susan Yeates introduces viewers to the concept of using mindful sketching in daily life as a means to foster relaxation and creativity. Susan emphasizes that the goal is not to produce perfect artwork but to engage in a calming, observational practice that encourages presence and self-expression. This video uses multi-cam editing with 5 different shots/angles of Susan presenting her points. Alternating between these camera perspectives keeps the visuals dynamic and engaging, ensuring the video remains interesting and avoids feeling static or monotonous.
