Inspired by the international weekly zoom sessions from @drawingisfree, we will take turns posing and drawing each other's portraits, each pose the length of one music track. Drawing in this way brings a lighter touch to our work–it is easier to loosen up, try new mediums/approaches and reconnect to the joy of drawing. Drawing each other is a natural way to bond around something creative and celebrate our shared humanity.
About Mia Merlin:
After teaching drawing, painting and art appreciation at different Universities for a couple decades, I’ve left academia. I see society as being in great need for the simple, physical, nourishing practice that drawing and painting offers, and I want to be able to offer these things directly. As an educator I want to support people in their creativity in three ways: connecting to other artists’ work, appreciating the qualities of different mediums, and above all else enjoying the process. In my work I have a special interest in beauty in everyday life, (faces, bodies, trees, flowers, fruit, etc.) I believe that drawing and painting can help us feel more free and alive, and foster a sense of possibility. I am available for private or small group lessons.
