Relax and paint with water in Serenity Sketch, a guided mindfulness sandbox. Create ephemeral art, follow gentle voice prompts in atmospheric landscapes, and find stillness in letting go. A self-care ritual where each evaporating brushstroke brings freedom and reflection.
Follow the ancient practice of evaporating water painting.
Paint water upon a stone. Breathe. Relax. Let Go of your painting as it disappears.
You are invited to explore your creativity, by playing with impermanence.
Each day, a gentle voice-guide will lead you through a unique painting Practice.
- copy a mysterious Glyph - draw inspiration from a starting image - paint along to echoing music - fill a blank canvas with your imagination - leave a message for another Journeyer -
Practices are designed to help you slow down, and reconnect with yourself.
Each day, finish with introspective self-reflection questions.
If you’re feeling independent, take your brushes back to the Home Sanctuary where you can paint without guidance.
Each day's journey will take you to a unique natural setting, where your painting Practice takes place.
- an ancient forest - a serene ocean bay - mysterious cliffs along the shore - a lively wood - ... and more -
Calming soundscapes will usher you into the present moment, so your painting flows freely.
As you explore, encounter new brushes and tools for interacting with the world.
Your journey begins on the Path of Letting Go. But it doesn't end there.
Face surprising, subversive Trials at the end of each thematic Path.
Find out if your inner journey can unlock your outer journey - are you ready for the next Path?
These Trials may uncover pools of creativity and self-acceptance in your daily life.

About the Developers and Project
We are Copper Coin, an independent studio, with one fulltime member and a small team of part-time freelancers.
We started Serenity Sketch because we want to see more games that take care of us.
Serenity Sketch is a gentle introduction to mindfulness and self-care, in an interactive mode. It is especially for those who have ‘bounced off’ of traditional meditation or sitting practices.
We believe that building an inner quiet can unlock your creativity.
This is our first project, and we’re eager to hear your feedback.
Feel free to email feedback to us. Find our address on the Steam Support Contact Info section.
Even better, fill in the survey embedded in the game demo.
