ANA MONTIEL
why it’s time to paint
outside of the box
I have to admit I was wrong. When we were first sent a copy of
an ‘adult colouring book’ (not an X-rated version, but rather
one filled with patterns intended for busy grown-ups to fill in
and unwind) back in 2013, I thought it was a nice idea but
would never catch on. Several of the books have since gone on
to sell more than a million copies, while I am currently tucking
into my third helping of humble pie.
What I had underestimated were the therapeutic and
meditative qualities. After a stressful day, who wouldn’t find it relaxing to do a
spot of colouring? Perhaps more importantly, these books are also helping people
make a first step towards rediscovering their forgotten childhood interest in art.
If you’re interested in the mindfulness aspect, yet find the whole “keeping
within the lines” thing a little too restrictive, why not take a leaf out of Ana
Montiel’s playbook? Interviewed on page 22, she has developed a series of
“visual mantras” as a more painterly and creative alternative to the colouring
craze. If you try to paint one at home, be sure to let us know how you get on.
