The course in London in November is now full but contact me if you'd like to go on a waiting list. Due to a cancellation I have one place left for Scotland in October (unless you are a couple sharing a room in which case 2!)

In Scotland, I am offering two options - one for people new to Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and another for those of you who have worked with me before.

5-day Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain Workshop

2-day Follow-on Workshop

Both the Scotland workshops are residential. This gives you the opportunity to relax and recharge in beautiful surroundings on the shores of Loch Goil (just over an hour from Glasgow Airport or 2.5 hours from Edinburgh airport).

Does your inner critic get in the way of learning how to draw, . find out how you can silence it!

How to Silence Your Inner Critic

• Focus on the space around your subject/object, and particularly where their shared edges. Draw the empty space and shapes rather than the object itself.
• Draw upside down so you don’t know what it is your drawing.
• Play music while you draw (I prefer music without lyrics which can be a distraction).
• Focus on the process rather than the end result. Concentrate on this line or mark , moving your drawing tool very slowly as you look.
• Experiment with a different medium or drawing tool – being a ‘beginner’ gives you the freedom to play.
• Date your drawings and take them out from time to time and look through them in an open-hearted reflective way. You will probably be surprised at how much you have improved. Even drawings that you think are no good will probably have some elements that are interesting to your or areas of learning.
• Remind yourself it’s only a drawing. We learn through exploring and pushing boundaries and that includes learning a new skill as an adult which is bound to feel uncomfortable at times.
