7. Watercolor Painting

Like other art forms, painting is both soothing and inspiring, especially when you incorporate lots of colors and free-flowing techniques. However, painting with thick oils or fast-drying acrylics may strain your hands (and patience) more than you like; instead, give watercolors a try for a more forgiving experience.

Since the pigment is diluted, watercolors move very easily across the paper and won’t demand too much from your joints, plus they dry quickly, and tend to create pleasingly ethereal images – even if you have no drawing or painting experience. A starter set of paints, paper and brushes won’t cost you very much at all.
