Exploring the world of trees at Clydebank art group
28 August 2019
Clydebank art group is back after the summer holiday!
We had a meditative session drawing trees with the late summer sunshine flooding into the art room. Using varied art materials, we drew different types of trees in an atmospheric way… with a poem or two to help stimulate our imagination and inspire us.
The view out the window of the silver birch tree in the Centre81 community garden helped us, with its rustling leaves and purply pink silvery bark shining against the leaves and sky.

Mindful tree drawings at Kelvingrove
11 August 2019
We had a relaxing stress free time at our drawing group outside Kelvingrove Museum, where we connected to the trees and natural elements through our senses and sketching.
The weather was a little bit threatening, but the rain stayed off and we all managed to do some easygoing and some expressive tree drawings under the cozy protection of the small grove of trees.

世界 – Sekai world of Shodo Japanese calligraphy
30 June 2019
In May’s Zen Heart Brush, our Japanese calligraphy group, we wrote “世界” – sekai – world in Japanese.
The character se “世” – world/ generation/ society – has nice horizontal and vertical line combinations while kai “界” – world/ boundary/ limits – has an expansive movement within the kanji character. After some markmaking to loosen up, we enjoyed trying out the older tensho style as well as the kaisho styles.

Summer fun creative drawings in Glasgow
30 June 2019
We had lots of fun in our summer drawing sessions at Glasgow Botanic Gardens and Riverside Museum. We started with doodling to loosen up our drawings then we enjoyed sketching using pens and coloured pencils.
At the Riverside Museum, we enjoyed the open scenery upriver towards Glasgow’s modern buildings around the SECC – using biro pens on colour papers and oil pastels we created colourful views of the Clyde panorama!
