If you've ever felt overwhelmed with learning, or just less focused than you'd like, this figure drawing workshop is for you!
About this Event

My greatest goal for my classes is to empower a new way to percieve the wonder of our existence through observation.


This workshop includes:

  • Diaphramic 'Breath Etch'
  • Intro to the "5-core" of figure drawing
  • Technical exercises, and shape exploration
  • Still life drawing
  • Live model (clothed), with instruction


The breath:

The breath flow I teach I call the "Breath Etch"; it's something I developed while exploring breathwork to better manage my own ADHD and anxiety. The purpose of it is to leverage, and temper, our stress responses to increase focus, and promote a more positive mindset overall. I also have a fairly understandable way of teaching how to breath from the diaphragm.


The drawing:

While most drawing concepts are fairly standard, there are key insights unique to this workshop in framing the building blocks in learning to draw. I try to weave in ways to understand perception that you can take outside of the drawing room to your everyday life. Most notibly the relationship between gravity and the body.
