Is this you?

You open your new sketchbook and you're overwhelmed by the blank white page staring at you.  You start to draw or paint and end up feeling frustrated with the outcome. 

You're stuck in a rut of creating the same old same old or you're in desperate need for inspiration.

Is art more stress-FULL for you than stress-FREE?

I've been there, my friend. It does not feel good.

It's easy to shove all your art supplies in the cupboard never to be seen again.

But what if there was an alternative?

I've found that Art Journaling is the most effective way to explore, experiment and express yourself without pressure AND find all important playfulness with your art practice.


That is why I made this course for YOU.  

So that you can create art regularly, keeping your creative energy flowing on a daily basis even if time and space is limited.

No more blank page panic!

I've put together 7 playful art journal prompts that I use to help me find freedom, flair and flow with my art AND to relax and unwind at the end of the day! 

In no time at all you will: 

  • feel the blissful pleasure of art without fear, frustration or feelings of failure holding you back
  • reap the therapeutic benefits art has to offer like finding calm, stress-relief and healing 
  • find artistic expression and delight in playful painting  
  • have plenty of inspiration and ideas flowing.

All this for just £47!

What are they saying about Sarah Bowden Art?

“After doing the dominant hand non-dominant hand exercises in the Procrastination Course, I felt truly in a flow state. It was so liberating to not put any pressure on myself for what came from the motions of my drawing. Thank you Sarah Bowden. Your support truly means so much to me! I am feeling like I believe in myself more.”

Why choose Sarah Bowden ART?

Sarah Bowden is an expressive and experimental artist born and raised sandwiched between sea and rolling hills. She is now quite the Bohemian of Suburbia, living in a small town near Reading, UK, with her loved ones.

She paints magical animal and angel art that will bring joy to your heart and soul. Each piece is infused with spiritual meaning that will energise, enrich and empower you daily.

Her artwork is enchanting, whimsical and semi-abstract in style as she loves to capture the awe and wonder we experience as children. She believes the world needs more play and less perfection.

To date, Sarah has had her work displayed at The Whitfield Gallery near Dover, UK as part of their winter exhibition 2022-23.  And recently, she was commissioned to create 6 illustrations and to design the book cover for a novel, The Shaman by Joseph Carrabis, which was released this year 30th September 2023.

Sarah turned to art after a series of traumatic events left her a complete emotional wreck.  Art came and picked up her broken pieces and stuck her back together with glitter, gold, colour and creativity.

She has not looked back since. She left her 18 year teaching career burnt out and severely depressed. Now she shines as constant as the Northern Star.

Her mission is to bring to others the wonderfully therapeutic and healing benefits that art has to offer so they can shine as constant as the Northern Star too.
