Observation and Drawing Workshop
Keeping a sketchbook allows you to use drawing as a tool for observation, to record your experiences, your feelings and your inspirations.
As you learn to relax and function from your uncensored right brain, creative thinking increases.
Develop your sense of visual awareness and begin to notice subtle differences in shapes, colors, lights, textures and values.
Learn how to use your sensory skills to create a uniquely
personal and meaningful journal that can be used as a reference for future art works and as a source of creative ideas.
