About the event
Whether you’re a seasoned artist looking to loosen up your process, a curious beginner, or someone who claims they “can’t draw a straight line,” this workshop is for you. Mindful sketching is not about perfection—it’s about presence, exploration, and freedom.
Over four engaging hours, we’ll explore:
What is it, exactly? – From ancient cave marks to boardroom margins, discover the types and history behind this humble art form.
Types of Sketches and Doodles – Patterned, abstract, figurative, meditative. Zen-doodling, sten-doodling, mandala and doodle art. Learn how different styles express different things.
The Language of Marks – Experiment with lines, textures, patterns, text and shapes to build your own visual vocabulary. JUmping off points to start your journey.
