Detailed List of Retreats

You don't have to be or become an artist to be able to sketch what is in front of you. Everybody can see that some things are shorter than others or to the left or right of something else. So you simply draw it like that. You record on a piece of paper what you see, sitting there, right in front of you. What can be so difficult about that? You don't have to be, or become, an artist to do that. All you need is one eye and two fingers. Participants will be taken through a series of practice sessions in this type of "Seeing-Drawing" after which they will draw a variety of subjects, from still life through to landscape scenes and portraits - all in the space of a weekend. Sketching is one of the loveliest of skills anybody can acquire. You can take your pen and sketchbook anywhere and experience what it is like to be truly present in where you are. All materials will be provided. Children are welcome from the age of 12.
