Create or Die
7 Farr street, 
Marrickville

​ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The morning will focus on alternating between various pages to create colourful expressive layers full of feeling. You will be gently guided through a series of prompts and suggestions to help you relax and open to your innate creativity. Observing the dynamics of rhythm, repetition, harmony, colour, contrast and value to build up interesting and unique works to continue with later. 

Dripping, splattering, layering & experimenting with intuitive painting. Allowing for moments of freedom. Encouraging self expression and trust in your own process. 

After lunch, Life Drawing will start with free flowing, energetic, fast and fun warm up exercises with an artist model. Especially designed to enhance new ways of seeing & to develop eye to hand coordination. Dynamic drawing will help us capture the essence, energy and movement of the figure.

When we are ready we will set up for some longer poses and start layering the figure onto our prepared canvas & pages with paints, ink & charcoal.

The workshop will encourage you to trust your intuition and uncover your unique way of expressing. You may be surprised to discover how natural drawing & painting the figure will feel. Using music and dynamic drawing exercises it is possible to make an instant connection, bypassing your analytical brain and moving into creative flow. These moments of 'flow' or being 'in the zone' is where the magic happens and drawings emerge without effort. Being in these states enhances a sense of wellbeing and joy that filters into your daily life.

A little bit about me and why I do this...
I attended the Paddington Art School, directed by Steve Gorton, from 1987 to 1991. After traveling and living overseas, studying and teaching life drawing in Barcelona, I returned to Sydney and worked as a tutor at The Paddington Art School in the late 90's. During this time and into to 2000's I also worked with my dear friend and mentor, artist, teacher and founder of 'Art for Hearts Sake', teaching life drawing. A deep and lasting interest in the teaching/learning process was sparked in me.
 
For the past 15 years I have been working with primary school children and adults teaching drawing and painting. Life drawing has continued to be an integral element in my work and teaching methods. I have participated in this drawing process for 30 years and have seen hundreds of students awaken to their own creativity and drawing ability.
 
Come and join me on a joyful creative adventure.
 
DRAWING LIFE is a nurturing environment that will support you and your unique process. There are limited spaces available and bookings are essential.
 
Workshop cost $180
