Drawing Workshop - Draw, Draw, Draw

       On Friday, January 16, 2004  a workshop was held to introduce or re-introduce participants to the joy of drawing.  Drawing, of course, is the very foundation of art-making.  And so StoneSummit Studio was set abuzz with music and the crackling of pencil and charcoal upon paper.  Eight people took part in the various exercises to encourage really seeing objects, using our "Beginner¹s Mind" to connect intensely to what is drawn, and thus to coordinate hand and eye in the act of drawing. Many remarkably sensitive explorations were produced.  After a morning's work, we shared lunch, good conversation, and then returned to a final drawing challenge and homework too (make a drawing of something beginning with a, b,...z in your sketchbook using a variety of lines) to spur the drawers on to draw, draw, and draw some more.  
     "Thank you for opening another window of opportunity in my life," said one.  "Your knowledge and easy style make learning fun," said another.  Thanks to all who came and made such a stimulating day. Email for next workshop.
