Welcome to Pencil to Paper! I’m so delighted you are here with me!

Alright, so now that you are here let’s begin on our journey exploring the simple art of sketching! My hope is that this class will be a soothing and meditative practice that will help you to implement drawing into your everyday life. This act will not only prove to slow you down but will build upon your skills and confidence.

***Please note that throughout this class, I have not sped up any of the filming, nor did I add music. This was very intentional for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I want you to play your own soothing music* while watching these drawings. Since everyone has different tastes, I thought this was best. Secondly, because this class is all about being in a very present, meditative state and moving slowing while observing our subjects, I thought it counteractive to speed through the process. Nothing about this practice is rushed. I hope you can appreciate this. Of course, you can jump forward if you like or maybe just sip some tea and draw along with me. :) Enjoy…

*I’ve included some Spotify Music Playlists in our Resources section for you. ;)

In drawing, one must look for or suspect that there is more than is casually seen.
