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.
