Zen of Drawing
at UWA Extension Perth, W.A.
Zen….. ‘drawing with a chinese brush’
A relaxing, “Zen” approach to drawing.
Key focus is on the methods of Relaxing through the media of drawing.
All the art supplies for the workshop course are being provided.
Professional artist quality materials are chosen rather than student grade.
Soft pastels, pen and ink, different pencils, inktense media and others will be available to work with.
The papers also will include Arches 100% cotton as well as some unique Japanese papers and specialty papers.
SAMPLES
These photo images are just Samples, of the types and the styles of approaches we will be considering and exploring in the course.
These approaches are geared for simplicity. Ease.
Geared for …. the art of allusion, to evoke and to suggest.
This is the principle of wabi sabi called YUGEN.
The art of ‘suggesting’ a deeper beauty rather than stating it directly, underlies much of the course approach and techniques.

Thanks for looking around my pages..thought I would return the compliment and so glad I did. I love your watercolours- I felt very inspired and learnt loads just by scrolling through – fresh colours lines and shapes- very inspiring for glass work- I may just root out my paints. 🙂

Deb, do you know of another watercolor class–online–for my 18 yo son? He’s having knee surgery and thinks an art class would keep his spirits up! Thanku for your input😊

none that are online; but I can really recommend Tony Smibert’s book Landscapes from your Imagination. other than that, you could have a look at John Lovett’s wc videos. we’re all different, I’m just abit selective. 🙂

HI Jay, thank you so much for your interest in the creative art courses I present. Currently, UWA ext….. advising me we don’t have access to the previous Art Rooms where I had been presenting these courses since 2009. While I hope things will soon revert & art rooms once again are available, unfortunately, I have no direct say in it!
But, What I can suggest for you, if you’d really, like to enroll in one of my classes, is to go online and review Atwell Gallery where I also teach. Ring them at 9330 2800 to speak to them about all the different course options they offer! Cheers, Debi

Thank you. Is there room in your class at atwell, if yes, please add my name. I will ring them this week to enroll in your class.
Can you please add my name for a waiting list to do this zen based watercolour course, I REALLY want to do it. Hopefully you may be able to offer it also at atwell or another venue in Perth.

I’m organizing a bit of zen twist, into my Term 4 on Tuesdays Master Color at Atwell. I think, this could suit? Term 3 theme is mastering the Daniel Smith range of watercolors, there are about 12 that we’ve been using… and will be adding a few more. …. not sure if this is your cup of tea!
