Drawing Calm

Drawing Calm teaches artists and non-artists how to find an oasis of calm every day by using the work of master painters to inspire creativity.

Maybe it's the colors, or the eye-widening vistas, or maybe it's just the idea that harmony can exist on a square of canvas, but there is something in art that can calm and inspire at the same time.

In Drawing Calm, artist Susan Evenson, shows readers how to do the same. It's a book for everyone—non-artists as well as those with plenty of experience in a studio. Using restful, but dynamic works of art as a starting point, Susan Evenson teaches how to capture the light and peace of the master painting. Making use of "soft" techniques such as torn-paper collage, blended pastels, and wet-on-wet watercolor, this workshop encourages stress-free creativity.

After you learn how to set up your work space and what materials to gather, choose your soundtrack and get started with some warm-up exercises. Then, unwind with projects grouped by theme:


Delight
Quiet
Warmth
Harmony
Calm
Light
Rhythm
Put on the music that makes you happy and choose the colors that take you there too!

Drawing Calm ii invata pe artisti si non-artisti cum sa gaseasca o oaza de calm in fiecare zi folosind munca maestrilor pictori pentru a inspira creativitate. Poate ca sunt culorile sau privelistile care maresc ochii sau poate este doar ideea ca armonia poate exista pe un patrat de panza, dar exista ceva in arta care poate calma si inspira in acelasi timp. In Drawing Calm, artista Susan Evenson, le arata cititorilor cum sa procedeze la fel.
