No previous experience of drawing or mindfulness necessary. Appropriate for all levels of experience.

This three session course aims to demonstrate how the power of attending to the present can allow your creativity to flourish. These classes will focus on observational drawing of still life and landscapes and will cover multiple techniques of drawing and mindfulness.

Main aims for the course:

• To explore making creativity more about the journey and the process rather than the end goal.
• To let go of being ‘good or bad’ at drawing meaning we are more free to be creative and spontaneous.
• To learn a way of practising creativity that is sustainable and won’t peter out.
• To learn to use drawing as a way of coming into the present moment.
• To use drawing as a way of connecting to everyday beauty, thus improving our daily quality of life

The style of this course involves a mixture of practicals, power point presentations and discussion with other participants about their experiences of the practise that we will be doing in the sessions. Many of us share similar experiences and struggles in being creative so it can be really helpful to hear what others have to say.
