Mindful Drawing Workshop @ Saluda Shoals

Mindful Drawing Workshop @ Saluda Shoals
Experience the sensations of autumn through drawing, as we gather for mindful seeing and marking at the Saluda Shoals Park in Columbia, SC. This half-day workshop is a playful exploration of a range of drawing methods with nature as our focus, and is open to adults at any level.
I share
highly-accessible techniques for drawing through all the senses,
connecting not just to what you see, but to the sounds, scents, and
tactility of place. This approach to drawing is about finding pleasure
and satisfaction through an embodied creative process, discovering flow,
calm, and focus through line, material, and color.
The
4-hour session combines structured group tutorials about how to translate
what you sense into drawings that echo your environment, conversations about drawing practice, and time
to wander and draw independently. Our setting is an open air shelter
perched above the Saluda River, surrounded by trees with plenty of space
to explore and draw.
There
will be coffee, donuts, and a buffet of basic drawing materials on hand
(assorted paper, pencils, colored pencils, ink, watercolors, markers,
walnut ink, and more). Please bring a sketchbook, any additional
materials you may want to use, and a sack lunch.
Looking
forward to drawing with you within lush golden greens and raucous reds,
riverside birdsong, and the excellent autumn air. Onward into fall!
