Workshop Experience and Benefits
This monthly gathering is a nurturing space dedicated to the appreciation and exploration of various meditative drawing techniques, including Zentangling, observational drawing, “slow” drawing, Neurographic arts, and more. The environment is inclusive and supportive, welcoming beginners and seasoned artists alike.
The Therapeutic and Mindful Aspects of Drawing
Art therapy, psychology, and mindfulness studies highlight the stress-relieving, focus-enhancing, and restorative benefits of drawing. Engaging in meditative drawing practices can lead to a state of mental and physical flow, boost observational skills, and promote overall well-being and a sense of achievement. Additionally, drawing fosters self-expression, enjoyment, and the capturing of inner reflections and external moments.
Facilitated Sessions and Learning Opportunities
Led by an experienced creative arts professional, each workshop session delves into a new design or meditative drawing technique. These assignments are crafted to immerse participants in the creative “flow,” encouraging the development of fresh perspectives and skills. Attendees are encouraged to bring their drawing supplies and materials; however, additional tools and resources will be available as needed.
Supply Acquisition and Local Support
For those looking to purchase drawing supplies in advance, Beaux Arts, an art supply store in Florence situated near Hwy. 101 in the Coastal Fitness shopping plaza, offers a range of materials to enhance your creative journey.
