This two-hour online workshop will explore how sketching can be a practice for deepening mindful awareness of our surroundings, and how mindful awareness can enrich our sketching practice by helping us quiet inner voices. Using natural objects as our subject matter, we will explore ways to focus our attention, learn to see more deeply, and record our observations more carefully.

All skill levels are welcome. The group will be limited to 12 participants, allowing ample time for drawing and individual feedback. Erica will send you an invite with the Zoom link before the meeting.

Subject matter: You’ll need a few natural objects to work from. These could be plants, flowers, leaves, seedpods, shells, rocks, bones - even fruits or vegetables.

Supplies:
• a multipurpose sketchbook or drawing paper (preferably 9 x 12 in. or larger)
• drawing pencils of different hardness (one HB and a 2B or softer)
• 1 or 2 of any kind of fine point pen with black ink
• 1 or 2 charcoal pencils (any hardness - optional)
• pencil sharpener
• 1 gray kneaded eraser
• 1 white plastic eraser
