Inspired by the first major exhibition of visionary artist Ithell Colquhoun that is currently on show at Tate Modern, this is part 1 of our Ithell Colquhoun inspired series – and the theme is 'Automatic Drawing and the Psychic Trace'.

As a surrealist, Colquhoun used automatism to bypass the conscious mind. Some prompts of purely automatic drawing techniques—eyes closed, non-dominant hand, continuous line and beyond —will be prepared to get everyone out of their logical brain to explore this creative process together.

The goal isn't an accurate drawing but a raw, honest response to the moment, capturing primal energy and subconscious impressions. The overarching focus would be The Magical Body: Drawing the Unseen; let's approach the model not just as a physical form, but as a vessel of psychic, natural, and magical energy. Let's draw what is felt and intuited, not just what is seen.

I hope you will be "freed" from your current drawing styles and success formula after this session, just like how I felt after visiting the exhibition.

Our popular life drawing sessions have different themes every month. Please check https://www.instagram.com/earlymasterworks/ and https://linktr.ee/earlymasterworks for details.
