Hi,

I am a freelance textile designer that loves doodling but would love to be able to draw some detail from life observation.

I am looking for some patient, curious soul to help me learn how to draw from life.

I have dyspraxia, which means that due to mild motor malcoordination I become very impatient when holding drawing tools and end up drawing too quickly.

Also, my mind seems to break up what I see into some kind of visual patterns that are easier for me to take in, but my hand does not follow. I see so much and interpret so much and yet produce very little drawings. I am itching to get it all out and find relief in coordinating my interpretations with my manual and gestural expression on a variety of media.

I would ultimately like to find my own way of drawing from life, I don't need to follow cannon, but I would like to make a connection between my mind and my hand, and that which is being observed, to a certain degree. I would like to harness the dyspraxia and use it to my advantage for a creative edge, rather than going against it.

If you or someone you know is interested in taking up this challenge, drop me a line!

Thanks!

Helena

  Went to a fireworks display maybe 20 years ago at the Crystal Palace, it wasn't bonfire night, can't remember why it was being held, Capital Radio were there. There were people hanging from a crane, classical music, and quiet fireworks, It was lovely, still dramatic with the colours but no loud bangs. Not sure why this hasn't become the norm.

  Nadia did a great job tidying up my very very overgrown yard. (See the before and after photos). I live in New Zealand and my tenants said a neighbour has been complaining about the out of control ivy. Nadia was easy to contact so over WhatsApp, managed to liaise between me and my tenants. Her quote was reasonable for the amount of work that needed doing, and the end result is great! She sent photos throughout so I could track progress. Would highly recommend her to others.
