Simply Draw &Paint it
Aren’t you sick of trying to draw “correctly”, instead of drawing passionately and have fun?
“A drawing is simply a line going for a walk” [Paul Klee]
“Nooooooo,…. I cannot draw !” …. “I’m really not creative”……..
I don’t believe you ! You think you can’t draw and you’ll never be able to learn to draw? That you just don’t have that drawing skill? NooooOOoooo! Everybody can draw! Stop thinking about drawing as “Art” and learn to “draw like you write”. Everybody has his own handwriting. Discover your “handdrawing”.
Everybody was drawing as a kid. And one day we stopped and forgot about it. Mostly it was in our teenage years… , or just because we lost interest in it? Or because we started being afraid of making “mistakes”, because of shame…
A lot of people say they can’t draw…! Who told you you couldn’t draw?!? A nasty teacher or parent maybe who told you your drawing was ugly? A lot of us experienced negative critique at school… or even at home. Like children always have to fit in a box, and like art and drawing is always put aside, as if it was less important then math or science…
When you say you can’t draw it’s just an illusion! It has more to do with beliefs, then with ability and talent! Talent has nothing to do with it.
It’s not that you will one day draw like Michelangelo, but just “draw”! All you need is an open mind and have a go at it! Grab a piece of paper and a pencil.
In fact we can all draw! Lower your standards. Focus on the essence of the object you want to draw. Don’t put pressure on yourself to become Leonardo Da Vinci … Take time to really “look”…
Come draw and paint with me !
I will make drawing very easy and fun for you !
You will not want to live without it any more afterwards
Classes on demand for you alone, or for a group if you want to draw with your friends.
I live in Brussels. The workshop can be in Brussels, or in a place you desire.
