Painting and sketching are the ways to express yourself. For some people it is their obsession, for others it is a way to relax their minds. While others consider it a way to make a connection with their inner-self. In any case sketching and painting are something intricate yet soothing and fascinating.
I believe that to display your art you do not have to be a great artist. You just have to draw you emotion and personality on paper.

According to me , sketching and painting are not sooting stuff. Because of not being talented in those fields, those make me nerveous. When I was high school, I always wanted to skip art classes and my horrible art teacher was always insulting me because of my dreadful paintings. For that reason, I always find painting stressful.

I think so. Yeah. It relaxes our mind, I remembered spilling paint on the floor painting the wall. I was so stress about the mess I made and I ended up spilling all the paint on the floor just to make fun of it. Something negative turns positive.haha. When I was finished, I felt that I am relaxed and my mind was calm. It is a refreshing feeling so I tried painting on a white wall. I'm not really a good painter so it doesn't look good but the feeling of stroking the brush on the wall was amazing. I recommend painting for those who haven't tried it yet. You wont regret it.

Some people sketching and painting makes them relax and it is also their way to expressed they feeling . But for me it is boring I'd rather be laying on bed and have a sleep so I can relax my self

Sketching and painting does relaxes our mind.  It is one form of expressing our emotions that is maybe why it relaxes us. It is one of the best ways to to put our emotions out and lessen out our anxiety.

Yes, i believe sketching and painting ease your mind and body it helps you calm and relieves your stress. It is also one way of expressing yourself,depending on your mood your every stroke reveals who you are and how you feel.
It is not only good for the body its also enhance your life making you productive and creative.

Rather, on the contrary, it does not relax, but keeps in a tone, gives energy. True, I rarely draw, unfortunately. :(

For some people who like painting maybe its good way to relax.
But for me, i dont like painting at all since its not my hobby so painting is not good for me to relax.
My best way to relax is travelling.

Yes, sketching and painting is the best way to express our feelings. As an artist drawing is life, I can't live without arts, drawing is the moment to relax my mind.

My painting and sketching skills are poor to say the least, but I do enjoy woodworking to a reasonable level and find that it relaxes me. I think anything where you make something that can be considered beautiful can relax you, especially if it's very different to your day job.

Truth be said is that all of us are leading very fast lives, and all of us need activities to slow ourselves down. It's more than healthy, for mind and body.

It used to be, It sstill is. I just lost interest in that sort of thing, but I still have few of my own things I do to relax myself.
I play the piano, I go camping, It all depends on personal experience  ;D

I really think it does, especially to those people who really love arts. Painting or sketching diverts your mind and lets you focus on other things. Hence, it can help you to relax and lessen stress. Diversion is really good to remove stress and to relax.

I really love artistic work. It's just so unfortunate I do not know how to. But, I love it. I wish I knew how to draw and paint.

People are different form all other people in this world. While some go for painting and sketching, other do other. As for me, when i fell stressed and tired, i read books and listen to music, especially to the old songs and classics. The songs remind of my childhood days and relax my body and mind.

Ever since I was a kid, I would often sketch people and places. I am an adult now and having Bipolar Disorder, sketching has helped me cope up with my disorder. It gives me a sense of belonging where in times I feel lost in my own thoughts. It also gives me peace inside even just for a little while.

No I don't and I prefer to listen to some music to relax my mind, however, my friend does love drawings on his note everytime we had a free time in our college days. It seems weird to me but everyone has their own preference.

Well not all people have a passion on sketching and painting. I think those are the people only who had a passion on painting ang sketching which make them feels good and give relaxation to their mind. But not the people who don't have a passion in it.

Yes, I do painting too and I have sample being kept in the office. Its relaxing on my part and sometimes enjoy focusing on it. Its a good way to unwind from  hectic schedule.

Im not into painting..but i witnessed some friends, it really do, this is their way of releasing their stresses and pressures. Into painting they can also express their emotion. I admire people who know how to paint because my child has the talent for painting..very inspiring.

For people who dont have talent in painting or sketching we dont relax our selves on it rather we are stressing our selves more in drawing or in painting :D
In my school before if they said draw the body or some of the organs of the body i hate doing it because i dont have talent in that thing .

Everybody has their own way of relaxation. I'm not very good at drawing but I think it can be relaxing. I have this weird urge of drawing a picture whenever I have a fever and I always fall asleep after drawing one. That's my only basis though ;D

For me it is rather frustrating because I'm no good at it. But other forms of art, like making music, which I am more used to, make me very relaxed and happy indeed, so I imagine it would be similar for those who are good at drawing and sketching.

I think art in general is necessary for healthy mental life
u may feel art by your soul while only watching smbd painting.
since art and pray exist men have separeted from animals

I think so, calligraphy and similar artistic endeavors are considered a form of meditation in certain countries.

Of course yes as an artist like me. I always paint and sketch when I want to relax my mind

It probably does. But I didn't sketch or paint for years now. I did a lot during my studies as I have a designer degree. But now I simply do not the time.
There are more and more art therapy for children and for mental diseases , it seems that art has a positive effect on mental and body :)

I believe sketching and pain ease your mind and make your heart àt peace...it sooths your soul and connect you to your inner self creating a new masterpiece...does it became an expression of yourself in a new and different way..letting  God's gift showed in you and through you making you a blessing to others

Yes sketching and painting not only heals the mind and spirit, but also the body, since all are interconnected. It works on multiple levels to not only relax, but also to restore and rejuvenate, bringing joy and increasing your energy and enthusiasm for life.  It is a meditative practice, putting you in the comfort zone, with many of the same benefits of meditation, helping you to take your mind off of daily struggles and issues, lowering your blood pressure, pulse rate and breathing rate, and making you mindful of the present moment.

There is something in painting and sketching that make the mind relax and at peace. Sketching is something that you do to express whats on your mind and in your heart. Most psychologists say that your drawing signifies soemthing in your life. So as painting, because of the colors and the calmness that it gives which name our mind relax.

Sketching and painting is never relaxing at all, it is actually one of the hardest thing to do and it requires a lot of concentration as well. I wouldn't term something that takes a lot hard work and concentration to be relaxing at all. Its a very hard work.

he. by painting we will feel calm because our time to paint our brain will issue good new ideas that we will pour in the painting.

Would you believe that cutting sheets of paper into tiny pieces relaxes me? I know it's weird but still, it's true. People have weird ways to relax...

The good news is that you can help to keep your stress levels low simply by using the right paint colors in your home. Stress Reducing Colors to Calm You. You might not even notice it, but your body and your mind both have reactions to seeing colors.

Actually I am very bad in sketching and painting.But I think   it really very helpful to relax ur mind.

It is right that sketching and painting are ways to express the minds of people. I believe that every one is created with the sense of art. For other people these are to show their personality or emotion, since we can know the personality of someone from the picture created. It reflex their personality or even they culture.

sketching and painting are ways to express the ideas of people. Every one has sense of art. some people may assume that painting and sketching are to show what they are thinking or their feeling. The result shows the personality or the sketcher or even the result also reflect the culture where the sketcher is from.

I agree with you that sketching and painting are ways to express our minds or feeling. For some people these may as the way to refresh their mind by doing them. They can enjoying doing them because we can express anything what we feel in it. 

It's really help to relax your mind. Because by expressing your self on what you're doing is make you fell relax. Enjoying painting and sketch if you do love, is just like a pain reliever.

I love to doodle while talking or relaxing.  Sometimes I like to break out the brushes and do a little water coloring as well.  I have taken a class at the local college twice which I found kinda boring.  I like to express my own thoughts and feelings instead of being told to do something.

recreational activities enable us to think but not stressing yourself. sketching and painting are just example of so much recreational activities. it makes us relax and keeps us away from stress and depress that the world gave us. such problem will be forgotten sometimes. people who are painting and sketching are people who is less of problems and issues in life because they expresses it in their specialties. such talent gives us good point of view. it soothes the eyes, the mind and the soul.

Maybe yes for some people who like sketching and painting, but to people who dont have passion in that thing would be NO! For me sketching and painting dont relax my mind because i dont have passion in that thing, i would be more stress .LOL :D

yes some people paint themselves to make the mind and heart calm, we also know that little by little our character we can realize.

Yes doing sketching and painting can relax your mind. For me, I have this coloring book. I do this every time im bored or what. But mostly some people doing paintings to relax them especially if they are stress, and whatever you feels that time it will come out in what you are doing. You will see the result of what youve done.

Yes because you can express your feeling by painting and sketching.

Some because of painting and drawing you can express your feelings especially when you are suffering from depression

When I was a kid it did. It was so fun. But now as an adult, you're an adult and the stress of life makes it harder to enjoy such things. Your mind gets filled up about the next things one has to do.

depending on the hobby or the preferences of each person because too many ways to calm the mind according to each personality

You are pretty right. Recreational activities like painting make people more relaxed and peaceful . On the other hand, These kind of recreational activities  give people inner peace. For that reason, If someone feels depressed, he or she must find a recreational activity to do.

Because of drawing and painting you can expresses your felling especially when you are in the stage of depression

For me it does.
It calms all the thoughts that usually goes in loop. It simply untangles my mind.

I am not a painter but i believe any passion is a stress reliever. Painting and/or sketching needs focusing your mind, time, effort and emotions thus you tend to forget other things and it really relaxes ones mind.

For me painting is one of the way to relax my mind. But i can't do sketching, so if i do sketching it's not relax my mind but make my head more dizzy..
I like painting so much, and love to play with the gradient of colors. When i have free time, i love painting in the canvas. Or when i don't have canvas, i painting in my mobile phone. I download some application in my app store, like colorfy, and i expand my imagination to paint in this application  ;)
When i painting i can forget my problem and i feel comfort with that. Besides relax my mind, painting can expand my skill and make my life more colorful.. i really like play with colors, actually the pastel colors.

Everyone has their own way of relaxing. I'm not good at painting, but I think it's relaxing.

I believe that everyone has a sense of art. For others, it's all about showing your personality or your emotions.

Painting or sketching rather can give me energy. Whenever I paint, it gives me a sense of contentment. I got excited and at the same time I got control of things. I was able to see my inner-self as well.  Maybe some would define it as a means of expression, an escape to reality and a gate to imaginative things or fantasy while from me, it is my means of freedom. Well, it depends on the person. Some paints for relaxation while some paints because it is their hobby, or some paint because it is a school requirement.

Depend on a person, some person who loves art can do painting or sketching when they are stress or tired from work and just want to relax with that. There are also some people don't like arts, they don't like art that much as like what people loves art so in my opinion it's depend.

There are many ways how you can relax. If we do not consider techniques and use the simplest and most accessible methods, then we can distinguish:

- peace and sleep
- alternating tension and relaxation
- exercise and sport
- alcohol and cigarettes

Oh yeah, EMOTIONs on the paper. liner, markers and some pen... Amazing

Painting or drawing is a hobby that can make someone relax, can even generate money coffers. But there are also people who are not very good at painting or drawing. For those who like it, in my opinion may choose other hobbies that can make you relax. Suppose singing, though sometimes our voice is not melodious even tend to fals. The important thing can make us relax and not disturb others.

I can't paint.

If I can relax my mind with painting, body painting is more suitable for me.

Yes, sketching and painting is a very good stress reliever. Especially when you are a lone at home.your life situation is so boring cause you are alone. But if you have to divert your mind in sketching or painting then your stress will relieve. And it can help our mind to cooldown and relax.

I think it is because people in the past this is their way to relax their mind and soul. In this way you can express your emotion through painting, drawing or sketching .Not only relaxing your mind but it also relieve you from stress in a creative way .

Well..I always was a bad artist but I remember the pleasure that painting gave me when I was a child and went to school. I think it is really relaxing and helps to express yourself

I express my self by sketching and painting to get perfect on what I 'am doing by sketching, I need to explore my mind by sketching and painting to get perfect on what I 'am doing.

I think for those who are talented in sketching or painting they feel relax when they expressing their feeling on what they are doing, for me i'd rather choose to read books cause im not good in sketching or painting.

I do doodling with my pencil sometimes and it does relax my mind.

There are a lot of things that you can do to "relax" your mind. It differs from one person to another. I believe artistic people do that to "relax" but not everyone is like that. I usually stop and sort of meditate, try not to think too much, just feel all the tension and make them go away.

Creating something with your hobby makes yourself relaxed. I believe that it is a kind of therapy. You don't think so much when you are painting or sketching. Because you have to focus on if you want to make an art.

I am into painting and that is the only thing I do to release some stress. When I finish writing an exam and it doesn't go well, I just do some nice paintingsurprise and the sadness of not being able to write the exam is gone forever.

I believe any art activities can relax your mind. However, I suck at all art so cannot enjoy the benefits. I used to enjoy photography but have not done much recently. Its hard to motivate myself to do this. Walking in the fresh air for a good distance 5km or more is very beneficial too

I have no talent in that but I believe that you are really releasing all your  emotions when you paint.

I believe so, though I am not an artist neither good in art. But when I once felt very stressed out and I needed to do something that would really relax me withouth going outside of the house, that one evening, I grabbed my sister's pen and paper and tried to draw an unfamiliar lines. Art never liked me, but that moment was amazing, I became more focused the more stroke I made. I forgot my problems for a moment and then I realized during that moment I was making an art already, that made feel very happy. Because I've never had such a good artpiece before.

Sketching and Painting is the way on how an artist expressed his or her feelings, Some people sketching to make them feel better,relax and have focus minded.

I guess they can for some people.. not so much for me though as i can't draw or sketch well lol. Many years ago i used to draw in MSPaint which i got pretty good at if that counts :)

Sketching and painting is an art. It is God's given talent to those people knows how to sketch and paint because I believe that not all of us know how to do it as the way sketchers and painters do.

For me that don't know how to paint or sketch. This works won't keep me relax. But many people are doing this as their way of relaxation.

Painting and arts are expressions of ones inspirational thoughts in real life.
It helps us to connect deeply with our selves, minds and psyche.Hence, it is
a form of recreation and refreshment of the mind.The admirers are also
satisfied with inner feelings of appreciation of the meanings and symbols
of arts work.

Base on Myself. Yes. painting, sketching and other types of art relax m mind, it also helps me to think and to create new ideas that i need in my profession. Art calms my mind and i feel free when i do such kind of art.

Art can be form in different ways like paintings, architecture, sculpture, literature, music, dance and movies. Painting the foremost common art that has been done, painting is a work of art, passion, thought, feelings that you cannot express in verbal. Arts can speaks paintings can express one's feeling whenever they are happy or sad, can be a way of communication with other people in the early age they used caves to give an information or awareness to thier people and also being part of our history. They also used stones to engraved messages that they wanted to rely to other people. Painting and sketching can also give way to express the painters freling by the used of brush and colors

Yes sketching and painting relax our mind. Painting and sketching are the ways to show your fillings, express yourself. For some people it is their obsession, for others it is a way to relax their minds. While others consider it a way to make a connection with their inner-self.

If you have a busy day, work hard and you are torn between the phone and unanswered letters, find just a minute to look at these pictures and your brain will thank you.

Why just painting? I don't think anything is even better than writing a diary or a short story

Painting is a way to express human moods. from a very ancient ages paintings are the source of incident portraits at different times :)

Absolutely. I too draw and paint to get out of depression. I also won several prizes in drawing till now :)

I like the idea of painting and sketching definitely relax our mind. I don't do painting, I do the pencil drawing the abstract one, yet I'm not the pro one, it won't matter to me, what matter is the enchantment feeling I have that words could not define, I make this as my personal collection.

I agree 100%. Nothing relaxes me more than painting nature and landscapes and fishing. When I need to relax I take my painting stuff and my stool and I spend the day outside. I love nature and the ability to express my view of it by painting makes me feel like I can connect with nature as best as I can. And my painting is my way to capture that magical moment forever.

Why only sketching and painting? for me playing football is not only stress buster but my hobby too :)

No, that doesn't make me relax.I never knew how to paint.Most of my friends love to do it.But I've always been attracted to other things.A lot of my friends tried to teach me to paint, but I never learned it.

for me it is a form of relaxing in my mind. because it gives me happiness everytime i draw and doing paintings specially when i see my paintings in a gallery. doing scketching and paintings also is a form of therapy for those people who has suffered from stress.
  ,

Sketching and painting would relax your mind, only if it is your hobby and you love to do it. It is not my hobby, so it wouldn't relax my mind.

I find painting stressful. You need to find a right color and also need to learn how to blend colors. When it comes to sketching i find it comfortable even tho i don't have a talent on those. You don't need a talent it sketching just to relax your mind you just need to express your emotion with a paper and a pencil.

Yes, I like painting with brushes from my childhood

For me it really helps to relax my mind when I am sketching,
It is my way to enjoy some of my free time I really love to sketch whenever I got a pen and notebook I would usually start to draw or doodle in my notebook.

For me no because I don't know to sketch and paint.
