Drawing Weekend
with Rena Czaplinska-Archer
“We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.”
We often draw with a fixed idea of what we want, we try to be accurate but we miss what is really there—the rhythms, the tones, the harmonies, the very life of a thing. In this workshop we will explore how to see past what the mind thinks it knows.
Drawing with charcoal, ink and water in a safe and relaxed atmosphere will allow us to rediscover the natural wisdom of the body, drop the thinking mind with its preconceived ideas, and reclaim and deepen our drawing skills. Daily awareness through moment exercises will help us to loosen up, and awaken our senses. We will draw inspiration from human figure and autumn Wollombi landscape.
Both beginners and experienced drawers are welcome.
