"There is no better way to cheer someone up than to spend time in the company of friends and family." 

My name is Rhys Padarn Jones. I’m an artist from Pontarddulais who loves to use words to create unique pieces of art. 

While I usually use acrylic paint on canvas, I also enjoy doodling quickly on paper, using a black marker pen to outline the shapes. I’m a firm believer that drawing, colouring and painting are all great ways of relieving stress and of relaxing. 

For the Cultural Cwtsh, I’ve decided to create a step-by-step video of how to draw a picture including the phrase ‘Treulia amser gyda’r sawl sy’n dy wneud yn hapus’ (‘Spend time with those who make you happy’). 

There is no better way to cheer someone up than to spend time in the company of friends and family. 

If following instructions to create your own picture isn’t quite your thing, why not choose one of the pre-made colouring sheets I’ve created instead? 

You have a choice of three: ‘Bydda’n garedig i ti dy hun’ (‘Be kind to yourself’), ‘Lle i’r enaid gael llonydd’ (‘A place to rest your soul’) and ‘Rwyt ti’n gryfach nag wyt ti’n feddwl’ (‘You’re stronger than you think’). 

Enjoy!
