What will it take for you to start drawing just your own way? My artist friend Sarah Jones and I have a few ideas -- and our tried-and-true workshop has worked for others (and for me, the draw phobic collage artist). If you would like to take a journey into your own way of capturing what you see with hands-on skill practice, permission-granted exploration and the company of peers who will journey with you to line on paper, join us for Fearless Sketching this April 4-6, 2014 at El Cielo Studio here in the Texas hill Country. (The weather we have ordered is to be wild-flower and sun filled.)

FEARLESS SKETCHING - APRIL 4-6 (optional Fri. night potluck)
Whether you consider yourself a talented amateur, a pro artist or artist wannabee, you may have a secret lurker within who disparages your drawing skills. This workshop will be your first step to banishing that inner critic. We’ll have a no-fear zone with drawing exercises guaranteed to improve your skill, but most of all, guaranteed to banish big fear. Artist Sarah Ann Jones will be co-teaching with Susie.
Limited spaces, as usual, are available, as each of these special events is designed for a maximum of seven participants.
LOCATION:
El Cielo is located 45 minutes north of San Antonio on the very top of a very big hill in Pipe Creek, Texas, just off of Highway 16. The cantilevered porch overlooks a pristine valley where five hills meet. There are decks, screened in porches and a hot tub too! And a pool for fearless swimmers.
COST:
The cost for the workshop is $185. Accommodations for the entire weekend are additional. As usual, first come, first choice on accommodations -- there are three private bedrooms which can be shared with a friend, ($30 for both nights) and a comfy couch, (free) as well as the sleeping porch (also free) and a cot sized bed and private bath in the studio ($20). The meals are great, the company inspiring and the views spectacular and the hot tub is ready to go!
RESERVATIONS:
You can hold your spot with a $25 reservation fee (which is fully refundable up to two weeks in advance).
To reserve, send an email to Susie at susiemonday@gmail.com to let her know you are coming, indicate your preference in accommodations and let her know your $25 check is in the mail. (She will email you back to confirm that she has a spot).
