Reds this morning! Found this one in a sketchbook! During psychosis I’m frightened of anything red, even a ladybird in the garden as in my mind at that time it signifies danger! Like on traffic lights you have to stop otherwise you’ll be in danger! #red #psychosis #mentalhealth

Really pleased with this one, loved doing the repetitive marks so calming and relaxing, may try a different colour palette! 🎨#watercolour #mentalhealth #repetitivemarksonpaper #calming #waxresist

Added Posca pens to the one were I added masking fluid with a cotton wool bud. I love the sparkle! #poscapens #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #watercolours #circles

Little mini studies in my tiny square sketchbook, loving the simplicity of these ones, may go larger with a couple of them. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #watercolour #psychosis #poscapens

Eyes during psychosis appear a lot in my drawings during this time, I have the feeling that eyes are watching me and the pupil represents the soul! Wasn’t going to make this into an eye picture it just seemed to evolve. Trying new colour palettes too! #wayercolour #mentalhealth

Had a try of including a yellow teardrop/raindrop in every piece of art work- thought that was a light bulb moment!? #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #watercolour #pencil #inktensepencils

Yellow teardrops/raindrops are the colour to give me more strength! #watercolour #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #poscapaintpens #mentalhealthmatters

Decided to go bigger with the teardrop/raindrop theme. Which do you prefer the one with more orange or less orange? #teardrop #raindrop #watercolour #watercolourart #inktensepencils
