Lifelines
The intimacy & vibrancy of drawing from life.
Life drawing in this way, we are centred in presence, being in the body, in the moment. Open to complete beginner & experienced Artist.
An instinctive approach, cultivating our responsiveness to express with freedom.
🍁
Morag Donnelly leads a small group and is accompanied by dear friends, longtime collaborators. Who are deeply experienced in this practice. Artists and movers who bring insight and beautiful natural movement to life.
All three of us bringing sensitive and alive responsiveness through our bodies whether in a duet or alone embodying the essence of ‘The Muse'. Together this all creates the beautiful inspiration, that touches into our heart and soul liberating the creative.
It's truly a time to restore and nurture the creative, filling our resources - in good company and in these wonderful surroundings.
**This is a non - residential there are local places to stay.**
Whether you are experienced or believe you can’t draw at all, you will find yourself moving into relaxed seeing and relating to the movement and the poses of the models and in turn seeing life with a renewed sense of wonder.
This practice provides a space for opening our creativity, experimentation and expression and becoming more present with ourselves, our materials these fibres of life and each other.
🌿
Together we will connect with these senses and explore the richness and vitality of what it means to be drawn by life.
🍂
You will make many, many drawings, many marks, many discoveries. You will have time to find and search and times of invitation & tuition.
You will be encouraged to rest, to pause and relax into the mark gesture movement made on to the paper and be led into the natural meditative state of presence.
✨
It is life drawing with a big emphasis on the LIFE, the feeling, empathy, widening our seeing, tuning into our own body to sense subtleties, dynamics, the humanity and presence that then allows us to capture the particular rhythms, the poetry the qualities of the moment.
It’s messy, its tender, it’s fun it can be vulnerable and can bring insight far beyond art & drawing .. your drawings will change alongside your perceptions.
.
This approach will encourage you to develop a fluent and rich drawing language. You will begin to cultivate a capacity to move more freely between felt presence, sensing, seeing and gesture.
