Embracing Winter’s Palette: Colours to Warm your Days
As winter blankets the world in grey tones and long nights, colours become wonderful allies to increase our positivity. Vibrant colours, dazzling combinations, just have fun with it. Colours do have power. Like little rays of sunshine, they’re capable of transforming the blues into inspiration and excitement.
Winter is the perfect season to ignite your creative spark. Colouring isn’t just about filling spaces; it’s about infusing your days with a burst of positivity. Imagine this: You’re wrapped in your favorite blanket cozying up by the fireplace, a mug of hot cocoa in hand… and guess what’s calling your name? A colouring book, ready to whisk you away into a world of shapes, colours and happiness!
I love how such a simple joy can be so wholesome! Colouring is a healthy activity, according to science. Research exploring the impact of visual arts and art therapy showcases a powerful connection between creative engagement and our overall wellbeing.
Studies demonstrate that children and adults enrolled in artistic activities, like drawing programs and art therapy, substantially improve their emotional regulation, social skills, and mental health. (Source: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.840089/full)

Looking for new supplies? I love these Arrtx coloured pencils — I have both sets, and they’re among my favourites. The cores are soft and rich in pigment but hold a point well. The pencils are well-made, comfortable to work with, and showed good lightfastness in my sunlight test. They’re also affordable, making them a great choice for anyone who enjoys colouring!
