This tool was developed as part of Cultural Cwtsh, which was an online creative wellbeing hub for the health and care workforce in Wales, created by the Arts Council of Wales in collaboration with artists across the country.
In partnership with the Arts Council of Wales, we’re excited to share this mental wellbeing tool, alongside with many other creative resources, with everyone in Wales!
‘There is no better way to cheer someone up than to spend time in the company of friends and family.’
My name is Rhys Padarn Jones. I’m an artist from Pontarddulais who loves to use words to create unique pieces of art.
While I usually use acrylic paint on canvas, I also enjoy doodling quickly on paper, using a black marker pen to outline the shapes. I’m a firm believer that drawing, colouring and painting are all great ways of relieving stress and of relaxing.
I’ve decided to create a step-by-step video of how to draw a picture including the phrase ‘Treulia amser gyda’r sawl sy’n dy wneud yn hapus’ (‘Spend time with those who make you happy’).
There is no better way to cheer someone up than to spend time in the company of friends and family.
If following instructions to create your own picture isn’t quite your thing, why not choose one of the pre-made colouring sheets I’ve created instead?
You have a choice of three: ‘Bydda’n garedig i ti dy hun’ (‘Be kind to yourself’), ‘Lle i’r enaid gael llonydd’ (‘A place to rest your soul’) and ‘Rwyt ti’n gryfach nag wyt ti’n feddwl’ (‘You’re stronger than you think’).
Enjoy!
