About This Class
Drawing is like reading - a skill that can be developed and honed; an activity that everyone can enjoy, even if you think you can't draw. By tapping into your intuitive side, and through 5 simple exercises, you will tap into your creativity, stretch your comfort zone and become more comfortable with drawing from your imagination.
If drawing is something you've always wanted to, then this is the class for you. If you already have experience drawing but want to push yourself out of your comfort zone or find new ways to get over creative blocks, this class is also for you!
In this class, you will learn several techniques to overcome fear and unleash your creativity - so that you fully experience the fun and freedom that comes with drawing from imagination.
Here are some examples of my work, which I've made using the techniques you will be applying in the class.
This one is called "Show me the way".
This one is called "Light-years away, stars turn to dust."

So freeing! I learned not to be afraid of my tools and to always experiment. Great class!

A great way to look at what I draw as "my" creative mark and shape making rather than wanting my drawing to look exactly like I expected and be loved by everyone. Yes "REFRAMING" there is a special skill and well worth my pursuit! thank you!
I found this class really difficult. I tried to just do it with stuff I had around but I was plagued with expectations of what I should do. I like the idea of it though, freeing yourself and the instructor has such unfettered creativity that she is able to take any moment and turn it into creativity. I'd like to emphasize the importance of feeling your work and I think it was what she was trying to get it but I just found it so difficult to free myself when all I saw was scribbles on my page.
