Drawing can change your life. It has been a constant in my life and my obsession with making marks extends from my practice to the workshops, sessions, courses, events and mentoring I offer under the banner of The Drawing Board. This is a site where I keep all things drawing related in the quest to get everybody drawing. You know it makes sense.
I was given a drawing yesterday as I was leaving the school where I work. I was so touched. The artist is a girl whose imagination and prolific output are infectious. She draws and draws and draws and materialises crafted objects and images out of a font of never ending magic and that is the beauty of uninfluenced, unfettered, free, creative beings. To be able to tap into that pre-trained essence is a gift and I sadly don't access it easily. but it doesn't stop me trying and B is a reminder, thankfully. Imagine just letting your hand draw what it wanted to without worrying about quality, value and worth and just enjoy the exploration of an unfolding expression?!
New drawing course in Totnes!
I'm really looking forward to running this. It's my belief that when we are drawing we are in the present moment and it's akin to practicing a meditation. To be able to relax and enter into that wonderful state we need to be able to draw without inhibition and so I am going to teach basic techniques with this in mind over the three weeks. Message me if you would like more information.
