Starting to draw can feel heavier than it should. Before your pencil even touches the paper, you might feel pressure to do it right, to be good, or to make something that looks a certain way. This class helps you let go of those expectations so drawing can feel calmer and more possible.

In this beginner drawing class, you will learn how to approach drawing without judgment. You will focus on simple actions, gentle movement, and allowing marks to exist without trying to fix them. The goal is not improvement or results, but relief and clarity.

What You Will Learn

Why expectations make drawing feel stressful
How to start drawing without pressure
How to make simple marks, lines, and shapes calmly
How to feel safer and more relaxed when you begin

Why You Should Take This Class

Many beginners believe drawing feels hard because they lack skill. Often, the real problem is pressure. This class helps you understand that pressure and shows you a softer way to start. I guide you slowly, using clear language and simple examples, so you can focus on the experience instead of the outcome.

Who This Class Is For

This class is for complete beginners, returning drawers, or anyone who feels blocked or tense when starting to draw. No background or confidence is required.

Materials / Resources

You only need one sheet of paper and a pencil or pen.

This class is part of a calm drawing series designed to help beginners start gently and build confidence over time.
