Drawing Camp: 9-week Drawing Course for Beginners

Drawing Camp Summer Edition: It's hot, it's sunny, it's beautiful outside!

The 4th round of the successful and loved Drawing Camp embraces summer as a season. The summer edition comprises of exactly the same topics as the usual Drawing Camp - but we take a mobile approach working in sketchbooks. We take our sessions outside in the park whenever we feel like it.

Plus, all course materials will be available to you as recordings and digitally directly on your phone after each life session.

This allows you to participate in the camp and practice drawing even while travelling and never miss a lesson!

Who is this for?
Drawing Camp is a weekly drawing course designed for beginners and for everyone who is looking for a systematic refreshment of their skills. We take a unique and holistic approach to developping your drawing skills, taking into consideration the interconnectedness of body, mind, and soul.

The camp is also perfect as an afterwork activity to clear your mind and body.

Why draw? I like to consider drawing the skeleton or grammar of visual art. It is a precise way to decipher what we see. Sketching, drawing's sibling, is a quick application of that. Drawing asks us to really understand the logic of what we see. Drawing asks us to develop a calm hand, a precise gaze, and a logical understanding of shapes and shades.

• We will start by a full-body warm-up exercise, followed by a concentration meditation where we practice the skill of guiding our hand to do what our minds want. We then come to the main part of the lesson:
• Practicing the depiction of particular objects, beings, and settings. As we do so, we will dive into the different techniques of applying pencil to paper (hatching, lines, smudging, creating surfaces).
• Everything we see can be drawn onto paper using different approaches, and I will teach you all of them so you can understand which approach fits your individuality best (grid, eye measurement and angles, measuring with hand and pencil, becoming what you see, drawing as writing).
• We will close by sharing our learnings (debrief).

What to bring:

• Comfortable clothing that allows for freedom of movement
• A5 sketchbook
• A pencil and an eraser
