Develop your drawing skills and find calm through creativity

Drawing for Mindfulness

Drawing for Mindfulness

Take time to slow down, get creative and explore drawing in a relaxed and playful environment. This course combines drawing techniques with meditation, music and poetry, helping you develop your skills while giving you the space to unwind and reconnect with your creativity.

You will explore a range of drawing techniques, including pattern-making, using colour, drawing from the imagination and observation, understanding space and composition, and exploring light, shadow and shading. Meditation, music and poetry will accompany your creative practice throughout.
