This is a monthly gathering to appreciate practice and explore approaches/techniques in meditative drawing such as Zentangling drawing from observation "slow" drawing Neurographic arts and more. Each session we will practice our drawing skills together in a supportive and relaxed environment. Beginners are welcome!

Studies in Art Therapy psychology and mindfulness meditation show that certain forms of drawing can help reduce stress improve focus foster a restorative mental and physical "flow" state strengthen one's power of observation build mental connections and provide an overall sense of well-being and accomplishment... Not to mention developing an ability that helps you express yourself have fun and capture inner reflections and/or moments from the world around you.

Led by a creative arts professional at each session we will explore a new design drawing technique or meditative drawing style. Each assignment will be guaranteed to help you get in the "flow" and will help you build new perspectives and skills. You can also use the time to work on a meditative drawing project of your own share with the group trade tips and tricks and get technical guidance and support from one another and the group leader.

You're welcome to bring your own drawing supplies and reference material to practice with; We will have extra tools and materials on hand as needed.

Drawing supplies may also be purchased in advance from Beaux Arts art supply store in Florence located just off Hwy. 101 in the Coastal Fitness shopping plaza.
