Emotive Drawing requires you to leave behind all notions of what a drawing should be and focus on the body, its movement and the thoughts and feelings that occur as you draw. It’s a great process for anyone who hasn’t drawn before, or as a way to loosen up and re-invigorate your practice.
 
Each workshop will be taught differently, so sign up for one or both! 
 

Testimonials 

  • With her instruction and encouragement, I found it easy to find the
    emotion behind my drawing hand. I learned to listen to the voice inside directing me to choose and experiment with each crayon, ink or other mark-making tools. I would you say to anyone considering taking this workshop that if you are ridged in your drawing practice, this class will free you to start experimenting from within. -Lori Barke
  • I liked how Moira urged me and others to reach beyond our comfort zones with each piece we worked on. I learned that the drawings I created during the workshop ended up depicting my psychological state. I would recommend this workshop – it’s great fun and a terrific learning experience on so many levels. I will take it again when it’s offered! -Rebecca Lambert
