🎨 Attuned Drawing
Have you ever stared at a blank page, pen in hand, and felt a sudden wave of intimidation? Have you ever left a sketch unfinished out of fear that you might ruin it, or found yourself trapped in a frustrating loop of drawing and erasing until the paper crumpled?
Maybe you are searching for a new, long-term hobby that doesn't hurt your wallet. Perhaps you want a meaningful workshop to share with your child or a friend. Or maybe you are simply tired of explaining your ideas with long, winding words when a simple sketch could say it all.
Welcome to Attuned Drawing.
I am a local artist, deeply passionate about various mediums—especially drawing. Since 2001, I have had the privilege of teaching art to children, adults, and portfolio students. Attuned Drawing is a project I have envisioned and prepared for a very long time, and I am incredibly joyful to finally open its doors to you.
I firmly believe that everyone—regardless of age, background, or prior art experience—can develop their own unique drawing style through the power of observation. When we deeply observe the world and translate it onto a flat page through lines and shapes, we enter a state of pure immersion. In that flow state, time changes, moving beautifully fast or slowly.
Over the course of a few weeks, I have designed a series of hands-on activities to help you naturally embody this fluid drawing process.
What to Expect in Our Practice-Centered Sessions:
👁️ Deep Observation: We will look intensely at the living world around us—capturing the movement of people, the timeless architecture of libraries, and the objects right in front of us. We accept this time to fully feel and embrace the subject exactly as it is.
✍️ The "Bicycle" Reflex: This workshop is designed to release the mental brakes that scream, "You have to draw perfectly." The moment your eyes see a line, your hand will respond automatically—just like riding a bicycle. You will learn to catch passing, fleeting moments in rhythmic, stylish lines.
🧘 Silencing the Inner Critic: We conquer the fear of the blank page and let go of the stress of judgment. You will experience the immense liberation of realizing that how your hand naturally moves isyour authentic art style.
Our drawing journey takes root in the open air. We will gather at Prospect Park for our first session, which will serve as the main home for most of our workshop serie
Bring a drawing book and pencil, release your expectations, and let's find your way of drawing together. Open to all skill levels.
