Lifelines
The intimacy & vibrancy of drawing from life.
Life drawing in this way, we are centred in presence, being in the body,in the moment. Open to beginner & experienced Artist. An instinctive approach cultivating our responsiveness to express with freedom.
Into Winter' Stillness toward solstice offers a deeper journey of a life drawing retreat into quiet, into the senses, into the unknown, to re emerge and celebrate the return of the light.
A time to restore and nurture the creative, filling our resources - in good company and in these wonderful surroundings.
**This is a non - residential
Whether you are experienced or believe you can’t draw at all, you will find yourself moving into relaxed seeing and relating to the movement and the poses of the models and in turn seeing life with a renewed sense of wonder.
💮
As touch, hearing, seeing- begin to merge we expand and immerse ourselves to discover the richness, vibrancy and the delicate subtleties of life’s reality.
Our seeing is opened our touch enlivened... The pose reveals its essence to us and in turn we are in touch with our own atmosphere, the being of ourself.
🌿
Over these days and evening you will be given the space to relax – physically and mentally – into a safe, pleasurable, free creative space. You will be invited to connect & play with a range of natural materials, immersing in the qualities and reflections of the elements , encouraged to let each instrument; hand or feather show you their way of drawing .
As the pose touches you, you touch the paper and you touch something in yourself – it is from here that authentic drawing emerges. Rather than you doing the drawing, the drawing is done through you.
Our traces of encounter are our marks on paper that can endure with vitality, a creation that is beyond time.
