“One of the things I loved most about touch drawing class was that it gave me time to explore myself artistically. ”
“While doing Touch Drawing, I felt as if I was translating emotions into art. It was interesting to see how other people did this when we shared. Everyone’s pieces were different because there was complete freedom to create. This is something I liked most about the class. I was able be creative with portraits, abstract pieces, and landscapes. Thank you so much for teaching our class Annie! I had an amazing time.”
What is Touch Drawing?
"Touch Drawing is a simple yet profound process. Paper is placed over wet paint. The pressure of fingertips on the page forms images on the underside. The hands are extensions of the soul, moving in response to the sensations of the moment. Channels of expression open, enabling feelings to flow. A series of drawings is created, each a stepping stone deeper into the self. This act of creation unleashes vibrant healing forces that guide the psyche toward wholeness. Even an unconfident artist can experience the fulfillment of seeing their interior life come alive on paper. Touch Drawing is used by artists, therapists, social workers, health care practitioners, educators and intuitives. Touch Drawing is a practice of creative, psychological and spiritual integration."
