Art Practical: A short introduction to Mindful Doodling
Course overview
Course description
Join a friendly and relaxed online group as we explore some introductory ideas, practices and concepts around mindful doodling. Were you told at school that you couldn’t draw? Do you want to have a go anyway? Do you want the freedom to make ink marks on paper without worrying about the results? Mindful doodling is a great way to relax whilst exploring simple drawing techniques. Most people are surprised at how relaxed they feel and the beautiful things they create when following simple mark making step-by-step instructions. Bring along your art supplies and tangle with tutor Nikki as she demonstrates some simple mark-making techniques that can create not only beautiful artworks but a sense of calm.
We will look at a few doodling techniques alongside basic shading to add dimension, different methods of composition and appreciation of your own (and others’) finished pieces. Although we will focus on the joy of the process, we will spend some time admiring the finished product – what do you like most in your artwork or what did you enjoy about the process?
A list of materials will be provided closer to the time but all that you really need is a pen, pencil, a piece of paper and the desire to have a go.
