Drawing & Colour

Drawing is more than creating a picture, it is a way to encourage creativity and connect to intuition, with the non-linear thinking.

Do you have a longing to express yourself through drawing? The art to learn how to draw is to see beyond our symbolic language. Anyone can reach that mystical place which every artist comes to when they are in the creative process.

“When we have learnt to connect to the right side of the brain, we can continue without instructions,” says Betty Edward, whose method we use, amongst others. www.drawright.com

Drawing is more than creating a picture, it is a way to encourage creativity and connect to intuition, with the non-linear thinking. Today a lot of our learning is from the left side of the brain and drawing is a method which activates the right side of the brain.It is essential to develop both sides of our brain to be a creative human being.

Drawing a picture is meditation and relaxation, a moment to ” just be “. Before you reach this state it can be frustrating and can create tension. Through learning how to draw from the right side of the brain you will reach beyond these feelings and experience joy and easiness.

Drawing is offered to adults and children from 6 years old as individual classes, courses or workshop. No experience necessary.
