🖌️Wednesday Art Prompt: Letting Go with Watercolors

Watercolor paint invites us to slow down, loosen control, and trust what unfolds.
As colors spread, blend, and shift, they gently remind us that we don’t have to hold everything so tightly.

This prompt is about making room...
🌊 releasing what feels heavy
🌀 expressing emotions beyond words
🌱 noticing how letting go can bring ease and clarity

There’s no right or wrong way to create here. Simply arrive, follow your intuition, and let the process guide you.

What are you ready to release today?

🎨 Why Art Therapy? 🎨

Because sometimes words aren’t enough.

Art therapy is psychotherapy combined with the art-making process. It gives people a way to express what feels confusing, overwhelming, or impossible to say out loud, especially when talking feels unsafe or uncomfortable.

Through drawing, painting, collage, and sculpture, you can:
✨ Express emotions without pressure to explain
✨ Release and explore difficult feelings in healthy ways
✨ Process trauma and stress that live beyond words
✨ Build insight, regulation, and confidence

For many of the underserved youth we serve at restART studio, traditional talk therapy can feel intimidating or inaccessible. Art therapy offers a less threatening, more empowering doorway into healing... one that meets youth where they are.

Art allows the unspeakable to be spoken.
It turns pain into expression.
And it helps youth move toward healthier, more hopeful paths.

🎨 Today is Colorado Gives Day!
Give today to change someone's tomorrow.

🙏 Join us in transforming the lives of the youth who need it most.
Give today: www.coloradogives.org/restARTstudio

At restART studio, we believe in the power of art to heal. We offer free, trauma-informed 1:1 and small-group art therapy to underserved youth who might otherwise never get mental health support.

This year, we’re working toward an important goal: $12,000 to keep these vital programs running.
Thanks to our incredible supporters, we’re 53% of the way there! 🎉🎉🎉

Many youth we serve face deep challenges—trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and family instability. Art therapy gives them a safe place to process difficult emotions, express themselves in healthy ways, and build the confidence and tools they need to move toward a stronger, brighter future.

✨ Your support truly makes a difference.
Every donation today helps youth feel seen, supported, and empowered to choose healthier paths forward.

🎨 2 Days Left Until Colorado Gives Day! 🎉
Early giving is OPENand your support means everything.
Give today at www.coloradogives.org/restartstudio

Let’s make sure every young person has access to healing, connection, and support!

When you donate, you’re changing lives. Here’s why your gift matters ⬇️

1️⃣ Access to Mental Health Care for All
Many youth navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or instability cannot access mental health support. Your support creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where young people can receive transformative art therapy they might not otherwise get.

2️⃣ Breaking Through Trauma with Art
Art therapy helps youth express what words cannot. Through color, imagery, and creativity, they process grief, shame, stress, and trauma in ways that reach the emotional brain. Your gift supports real healing through creative expression.

3️⃣ Building Strengths for a Brighter Future
We help youth gain coping tools, regulate emotions, build confidence, and prevent concerns from escalating. Your donation empowers young people with strengths and skills that create long term resilience and healthier futures.

4️⃣ A Path to Healing, Not Punishment
Too many youth struggling with mental health end up in the justice system. Art therapy offers a restorative, healing alternative that breaks harmful cycles and gives youth a chance to grow, not be punished.

💛 Your gift makes healing possible.
💛 Your gift changes trajectories.
💛 Your gift ensures youth never face challenges alone.

Every donation moves us closer to our goal and directly supports underserved youth across our community.

A Story of Growth Through Art Therapy 🎨

When this teen first came to restART studio, they shared that they often kept their emotions bottled up, unsure of how to express what they were carrying. Over time, through painting, clay, and creative reflection, they found a new way to understand and move through their feelings.

They told us, “I’m more self-aware now. Art helped me understand what I’m feeling instead of shutting down.”

And later, with a quiet kind of pride, they said something that stopped us in our tracks:
“It feels really good to finally like who I am.”

Having a safe space to talk, create, and be heard made a difference. Their confidence grew, their voice grew, and their sense of self and self-compassion grew.

Before they left their final session, they smiled and said,
“Five stars for art therapy.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

❤️ This is what your support makes possible.
Your Colorado Gives Day donation helps youth access life-changing art therapy—especially those who wouldn’t otherwise have the chance.

Community Wish Weaving at the Colorado Art Therapy Conference 💛

This month, we had the privilege of bringing our Community Wish Weaving project to the Colorado Art Therapy Conference, and it was truly something special! 💛

Participants were invited to write a wish for their community on a piece of fabric and weave it into our communal tapestry. Watching these individual hopes and intentions come together into one shared artwork was incredibly touching. Each strand carried a story, a longing, a blessing. Together, they formed something beautiful, connected, and powerful. 🧵✨

We left the conference feeling inspired, energized, and deeply grateful to be a part of the Colorado Art Therapy community. What a nourishing and joy-filled space to be part of!

Thank you to everyone who shared a wish, a moment, or a conversation with us. Your creativity and heart continue to move us. 💫
