About the Workshops
Workshop One
Drawing Life - An Intensive
14 + 15 June
This 2 day workshop is a series of 6 main exercises in Life Drawing. This is an intensive alternative to a 6 week course in learning to draw the figure.
We will start by exploring free flowing, energetic, fast and fun exercises with an artist model. Afterwards we will move into longer poses and exercises which are especially designed to enhance new ways of seeing & to develop eye to hand coordination.
Dynamic drawing will help us capture the essence, energy and movement of the figure.
This whole workshop is focused on life drawing - mostly with pastel and charcoal on paper, involving no painting.
Workshop Two
Expressive Painting + Life Drawing
25 + 26 October
Day One will focus on alternating between 2 canvases & paper to create colourful expressive layers full of feeling. You will be gently guided through a series of prompts and suggestions to help you relax and open to your innate creativity. Observing the dynamics of rhythm, repetition, harmony, colour, contrast and value to build up interesting and unique works to continue with later.
Day Two will begin with Life Drawing, with our model... and exercises which will lead towards layering and incorporating the figure into your expressive paintings.
The workshop involves painting + drawing.
Allowing for moments of freedom. Encouraging self expression and trust in your own process.
Explore... Enjoy... Discover... Create…
Art of Flow was born out of a desire to share & connect with others who are on a path of creative discovery... to help spark and encourage beautiful ways to explore art in a joyful space...
We will connect with our soul's desire... dance, paint from the heart, be inspired by an artist model and be immersed in a nurturing creative space.

Using music and dynamic drawing exercises, it is possible to make an instant connection, bypassing your analytical brain and moving into creative flow. These moments of 'flow' or being 'in the zone' are where the magic happens and drawings emerge without effort. Being in these states enhance a sense of wellbeing and joy that filters into your daily life.
