Beth's Workshop: Things I Learned

At Beth's Workshop: (Previous post Here) 

I learned of a book: 

Expressive Drawing by Steven Aimone. 

Incorporating the freedom we had as children

with our developing adult ways of making marks

and drawing.

Beth's post about that workshop is Here.

And another post Right Here.

It really was "artistic life changing"!

I am challenged by, & I get satisfaction from 

gravitating to order & simplicity 

when confronted with many materials & possibilities.

My simple sketching practice 

with line & watercolor

was affirmed & enriched by playing in this different way.

The pages I made at Beth's (see link above)

 are now in an accordion book setting.

Ah, Order. Cohesion. Sequence, 
though I have much to learn about this.
About the principle called "Unity".

A play between unconscious impulses 

& conscious art principles & choices.

The more I study art, 

the more the conscious learning

becomes unconscious while I work.
(Does that make sense??)

I'm going back this weekend for 2 more days!

There is a spot open, if any of you want to join us!
