DRAWING
as a survival skill in the panopticon :)
🌹️
An experimental online drawing workshop
for any level of experience.
Learn fundamentals of drawing from observation
AND / OR
loosen, remix, and expand your previous drawing skills.
We’ll practice a number of traditional exercises along with some trance-y, more woo-leaning adaptations of those classics.
The course is designed so that you could do it with just any old pencil and unlined paper. A list of suggested materials will also be provided with the syllabus.
Class recordings will be shared immediately & will be yours to keep.
🌹️
Option 1 — 111 USD — 4-week course with recordings
Option 2 — 222 USD — 4-week course with recordings, and a one-on-one session with me. This could be a session for specific feedback on your work from the course, or for help with a technical skill, or maybe you want to talk through starting an art practice, or maybe you already have an art practice and want to discuss how to incorporate drawing, etc. Open-ended, one hour.
