Yes! Getting 'better' is a gorgeous process: I spent numerous hours as a teenager just observing flowers and leaves, and perfecting my capacity both to see and to respond in pencil and oil pastel and paint... It was such a meditative process, and so healing and calming, like you mention - and at the end of it, I had incredible drawings to show!
It is so satisfying to delve deep into this learning process - which really is, like you say - our connecting with Source, and accesssing all this potential inside of ourselves, that is not obvious to us in the mainstream everyday: it becomes so obvious when we sit and draw for long periods, though!
Re-enlivening all the microcosmic orbits!!
I am so glad you are here in this community, too!
