The benefits of drawing
Drawing develops observation, awareness, perception, creativity, inventiveness, confidence, focus, problem solving and communication skills.
Drawing gives you opportunities for self realization by helping you to slow down, be present, manage self-criticism and perfectionistic tendencies, practice patience, and learn about your outer and inner worlds on a pre-verbal level.

Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway!
So many people are afraid to start drawing and watercolor because they feel that others know so much more,Self-comparison is deadly. The plain truth is that many people - even practicing artists - miss a good foundation in basic elements and principals and suffer for years as a result.
Many people — including those with shelves full of art supplies — tell themselves (and others!)that they have no artistic talent.
Forget about talent. EVERYONE (and that includes you) has the right and the ability to pick up a pencil and draw. Everyone has the right and the ability to learn about color. So often, what we think of as innate talent is actually the result of a learning process, work and practice.
With me, you start at the very beginning (a very good place to start.)
Learn the fundamentals of drawing and watercolor and, more importantly, become better acquainted with yourself. Allow me to guide you through tried and true progressive exercises, encourage your natural tendencies and help you establish the habit of practice.
Learn to draw and watercolor like YOU, not like anyone else!
Connect with your authentic, creative self. Recognize your blocks and foibles (common to so many of us) and learn how to step around those to better connect with your experience in each present moment.
Watercolor Tips and Techniques
|
Transferring a simple drawing to
watercolor paper
Let me start by saying I truly
believe that drawing is a valuable skill to develop. Draw every chance you get!
This tip is an easy way to get your simplified image transferred to your
watercolor paper. It isn't meant to minimize the importance of learning
how to draw. However when you want to practice your lesson on painting this
simple shortcut will speed up the process of outlining the shapes so you can
focus on the painting process rather than the drawing.
1. Start with an copy of your image. Enlarge it to the size you want to
paint it (Try using a photo copy or a printout from you computer)
2. Trace the shapes on clear or frosted acetate or on tracing paper(I
like to use the overhead projector transparency film available at office supply
stores)
3. For tracing paper, use a pencil or a permanent fine point marker
(Sharpie). If you use the transparency film you will need to use the Sharpie
permanent marker.
4. Keep the shapes simple. Don't add too much detail at this point.
What you want is a basic outline and placement of the shapes on your paper.
Think about a child's coloring book.
5. Using a light box, window or glass top table with a lamp under it,
place the line drawing under the watercolor paper and trace the
lines lightly.
6. This won't work for watercolor blocks so you will have to remove
the paper from the block.
7. Avoid erasing as much a possible to keep from damaging the surface
of the wc paper (I use a white plastic eraser called Magic Rub)
8. Now you are ready to paint! Clip, tape or tack the corners
of your paper to a support if you wish. I often paint on loose paper.
Paint from light to dark. You can trace additional details and add
them during the painting process. Remember that the darker areas can be
painted in a lighter value and then painted or glazed over to a
darker value later. Allow for complete drying between layers.
Have fun and
enjoy the painting process. Remember to practice drawing every chance you get, it
is a skill that will enhance your creative endeavors.
