We continue our series "The benefits of painting" with how painting can increase your emotional intelligence.
By practicing drawing and painting, we are given the chance to be in touch with our emotions very uniquely compared to any other human activities.
In searching for ideas on what to execute on a piece of surface, we usually try to get in touch with what we feel in that very moment. In that process, once we manage to grasp the feeling, we would try to find a rationale behind it and with that, we are able to intellectualise our emotions to a degree of practicalities.
