Hi everyone! In this episode of Art Alchemy, we, Debs and Ruth, are excited to talk to you about a common phrase we often hear: 'I can't draw.'
We dive into why people feel this way and debunk the myth that drawing is just a natural talent. We believe anyone can learn to draw with practice and patience.
Join us as we share various fun exercises like continuous line drawing, blind drawing, and quick sketching that can help you get started. We'll also discuss the importance of observational skills and the benefits of drawing socially.
Plus, Ruth has a free mini-course called 'I can't draw' with video tutorials and extra tips to help you on your artistic journey. Let's get drawing together!
