Drawing as Meditation Online Workshop
Welcome to my first online workshop!
This workshop is presented as a set of pre-recorded videos aimed at finding relaxation by delving into the process of intuitive drawing. Like making mandalas, it's an additive process that should be approached without worry or judgement. Just let go and get lost in the healing power of your own creativity.
I’ll demo two main ideas in this workshop. In one I’ll show you how to make a symmetrical drawing that is more structured. In the second demo I dive into the process of making a totally free organic drawing. I’ve also included two supplemental videos about shading and about spacial relationships! Sounds exciting, right?
You could say that art is an escape but I like to think of it as more exploration than escape. Making stress-free art with no expectations or pressure on yourself is a great way to get in touch with your spirit and ease your mind and nourish your soul.
Left and right are examples of organic drawing meditations and a symmetrical example center.

Who did I make this workshop for?
This is a course for anyone, experienced or not.
I’ve included a couple videos here that are very basic information (Overview of drawing tools and basic elements of a drawing) that many of you may want to skip. The demos are more involved however and should be useful to a wide range of people seeking to better their understanding of intuitive drawing.
Remember: There are no rules to intuitive drawing and ultimately it’s up to you to develop your own style and methods! This is just the beginning…
Class Fee: $35
*Once I receive a receipt of payment, you’ll get an email with a link to the class and a password. Please allow a few hours as this is not always immediate.
The video below shows-off a coloring book I made entirely from my sketchbooks full of these drawing meditations. These are all symmetrical but there is a balance between flowing organic shapes and straight lines.
I also have a new workshop on acrylic painting, watch the trailer below or learn more at the sign up page at this link.
