I've discovered Touch Drawing! Me draw! I'm really good at drawing stick people! LOL
After learning about the process and doing some of my first drawings, I'm totally hooked!
Here's a breif discription of Touch Drawing:
---------
Touch Drawing is a simple yet profound process where the fingers take the place of pen or brush. Paper is placed over a freshly painted surface and, wherever it is touched, an imprint is made on the back side. Impulses from within take form on paper through the movement of the fingertips on the page. A multitude of drawings can be created in one session, each a stepping stone to the next; guiding progressively deeper into the self.
Through this direct drawing process, even the least confident artist can experience interior images coming alive on the page. The hands become organic extensions of the soul, moving freely in response to the sensations of the moment. Many drawings can be created in one session, each a stepping stone to the next, guiding one deeper and deeper into the self.
In a medium as immediate and transparent as Touch Drawing, previously unused channels of expression are opened, enabling uncensored feelings to flow forth. The act of creating with these feelings provides more than cathartic release: it unleashes vibrant healing forces which guide the psyche toward wholeness. Touch Drawing is a practice of creative, psychological and spiritual integration.

I'm loving the process! It's been amazing! I've fallen so much in love that I've started a Meetup Group and want to bring this to everyone!
I've picked a few of my favorite first drawings to show. It really is creating from the inside out!
These are just a hand full. In one session, I can have like 30 drawings. I put on meditative music and go inside and focus on the feeling. It's like pealing an onion layer by layer coming through. I don't think about what I'm going to draw. Sometime it's nothing. Like this one:
The process is just beautiful! The creative process is just opening up!
I am a Touch Drawing Facilitator. If you would like to bring a workshop to you, please contact me! It would be a joy!
