Duration: 8 Sessions

Discover the calming and restorative benefits of drawing in this relaxed and supportive art course. Combining simple drawing activities with mindful observation, learners will be encouraged to slow down, focus on the present moment, and develop creative confidence through artistic expression.

Using a variety of drawing materials and techniques, participants will explore line, shape, pattern, texture, tone, and composition while engaging with a range of creative exercises inspired by nature, everyday objects, and personal interests.
