“New experience for me. Learning a new drawing technique via zoom. Jean gave a great background about this simple way to calm your thoughts or just have some mindful time for yourself. The information sheet is really helpful before the class and then Jean guiding you calmly through the easy breath work and marks of the drawing. The lines and patterns of the drawing are something my brain enjoys, no strict ideas, your own ideas start to flow as well. Super easy to incorporate into my day.”
“I came into the workshop feeling quite stressed from a hectic week. Then with a marker in hand, the drawing action, exploring different strokes, incorporated with breathing as well as Jean's calming, guiding voice, I found my thoughts gradually arrive at a moment of quietness and gratitude.
Even though I struggled to draw straight, even lines (was annoyed at myself initially), I've come to enjoy the process, and was pleasantly surprised with my drawing at the end. Happiness is never about perfection!
So glad I learnt a new technique to calm the mind, when the world feels too crazy. Meditation alone has not been very effective for me, since I tend to fall asleep... But I'll definitely do more meditative drawing like this, and play with different size markers, colours, and ideas!”
“Jean is a gifted teacher and facilitator with a lovely calming presence. Her voice is warm and easy to listen to.. For me this class was a gentle and joyful experience , weaving together a simple yet satisfying drawing technique with an easy to learn breathing exercise , overall uplifting and helpful. . This class was beautifully done.”
“I had such a great experience with this drawing class! Jean was incredibly kind, patient, and encouraging, which made the whole session feel relaxed and enjoyable. She explained techniques clearly and gave helpful guidance without ever making it feel intimidating. I learned a lot while still feeling free to explore my own style. It was such a fun and welcoming environment. I’d highly recommend this class to anyone, whether you’re a beginner or just looking for a creative outlet!”
“Jean showed me a method to be present. To draw to reach calmness. To breathe consciously to benefit my wellbeing. A lovely way to spend an hour for me.”
