When Less Is More

On the quiet clarity of simplicity

We’re taught to fill things up. 

Fill the page. Fill the time. Fill the silence.

But what if the richness you’re seeking lives in the space you leave untouched?

This week, we’re slowing down to meet the quiet beauty of restraint — in our lines, in our days, in the way we notice the world.

You might find it in a single pencil stroke, 

in choosing not to colour a corner, 

in pausing halfway through to listen to the birds outside your window.

When less becomes enough, the clutter thins and clarity steps forward. 

Your breath deepens. Your shoulders drop. 

And suddenly, there's more room — in your drawing, yes, but also in your mind.

This isn’t about minimalism as an aesthetic. 

It’s about simplicity as a form of care. 

It’s a way of saying: I don't need to do more to be more.

So this week, resist the urge to overwork the page. 

Let the white space speak. 

Let your hand wander gently, and stop when it wants to.

What remains might just be the most honest part of it all.
