Discover Drawing with Jess: Whole Series
Description
Research shows the powerful benefits of drawing and creative practices for improved mental health and ongoing wellbeing. Focusing in your surroundings, learning how to observe better and how to live in the NOW are important components of mindfulness which crossover with sketching or drawing.
Enjoying the looking, finding pleasure and stillness in the tiny. It’s a mental wellbeing practice and an artistic discovery process all in one.
Join us for 4 classes (once a week on Thursdays) going through the basics of drawing, from mediums to styles, from stills to nude models.
