Unwind and discover the joy of drawing as we explore the basics of mindful flow drawing, a process-oriented technique that is meant to release the fear of the blank page, and allow you to discover the joy of spontaneous creativity. This class emphasizes the positive approach to drawing, and approaches the art form as a freeing and joyful practice available to everyone.

We'll take the time to slow down, notice our breath, feelings, and hand gestures as we experiment with materials like graphite, pastel, ink, and paint. Each week includes:

• Simple warm-ups and playful repetition to loosen the hands, quiet the mind, and awaken flow
• Fun prompts and a variety of materials (graphite, pastel, ink, paint, and more)
• Time to fill sketchbook pages with marks that encourage exploration and confidence

Together we’ll tap into hand-eye connection, build creative confidence, and most importantly, uncover our own unique artistic voices. It’s the perfect way to start your weekend.
