Looking for a drawing tutor for a dyspraxic person

Recommended Posts

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

    • Sorry, posted as I thought it may be a Burmese cat I know who lives in that area, but I just checked with the owner and that cat is safely at home. Hope this one gets home safely ❤️
    • I will second Victoria. Usually fairly empty during the day. I don't think Petittou has Wi-Fi, possibly to avoid people with laptops hogging tables.
    • Why do you say "that hasn't and won't happen"? - It has not happened and I do not believe it will. Why do you not ask for a key, if you would "love this task"?  I have requested a key but have not had any reply to my email. Who would you suggest I ask? She still works locally. If you don't know her, I can ask her how you can get a key - Please do. Thanks. There is no reason why the noticeboard should only contain councillors' details (although surely it is important that those are publicised locally?) Why do you say it will contain nothing more? Because it does not contain anything more - see noticeboard (has been there quite a few months now!). Do you know why the notice board has been removed from outside ED station? No sadly I don't - poss during pavement works?
    • We have no water in Nutbrook Street. Has anyone got a problem?
