DRAWING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN

2-Day Intensive Drawing Workshop in Asturias

UNLOCK YOUR INNER ARTIST – EVERYONE CAN LEARN TO DRAW!

Join this intensive 2-day drawing workshop in Cangas de Onís, Asturias, and discover that drawing is a skill that can be learned.

Based on the principles of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, this practical workshop helps you change the way you observe and translate what you see onto paper. Through a series of carefully designed exercises, you will develop your drawing skills step by step and work towards drawing a portrait.

No previous drawing experience is needed. Whether you believe you can draw or haven’t picked up a pencil in years, the workshop is designed to help you see differently, overcome creative barriers and rediscover your ability to draw.

The workshop is available in English and Spanish and is suitable for both local participants and international visitors to Asturias.

WHY JOIN THIS DRAWING WORKSHOP?

• Train your observation skills – Learn to draw what you actually see rather than what you think something should look like.
• Build your confidence – Approach drawing with greater ease and discover abilities you may not have realised you had.
• Overcome creative barriers – Move beyond the “I can’t draw” mindset and experience what happens when you approach drawing differently.
• Develop a different way of seeing – Explore proportion, shapes, spaces, relationships, light and shadow with greater awareness.
• Encourage creative thinking – Practising careful observation can help you approach visual and creative challenges from new perspectives.
• Learn practical drawing techniques that you can continue using and developing after the workshop.
• Prepare for drawing-related studies – The workshop can also be valuable for young adults preparing for studies in art, architecture, design or other visual disciplines.

LEARN TO MOVE FROM “I CAN’T DRAW” TO “I CAN DO THIS.”
