Engage directly with Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Create images that soften the heart, awaken the senses, provide space for reflection and leave a lasting impression. Delight in both nature's beauty and our primal human drive to create.
A big thank you to all the participants in the 2 day Creative by Nature workshop in beautiful sunny Kelowna, BC. What a pleasure it was to meet you. We worked with such heart and soul. I decided to leave this short video flipped to the side. I like the effect.
I was immediately attracted to the reflection of the townshouses on the water. When I began to draw I noticed the shadow of my drawing hand on the page, so I outlined it. When I really looked slowly at the water I loved the play of water rings and undulating lines on the surface. The session ended with a failed attempt to burn lines onto my page with my reading glasses. All in all a lovely encounter!
