The skill we have been focusing on this week, blind and semi-blind contour drawing, is one that can really call up the inner critic. Blind contour drawing also offers tons of opportunity for self-reflection, surrender, mindful attention, gorgeous attention to detail, and the development of your intuitive, personal style. As a teacher, I dance between guiding students in technical skills, while also helping them to hear their own inner wisdom about what each art piece needs. <strong>Above all, I&#8217;m encouraging us all to be on a journey of making perfectly imperfect art. The magic is in the imperfections.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As with anything, folks come to class with a range of experience and comfort level with the techniques. One of the things I offer in addition to the live videos is to continue practicing and posting the techniques myself.<strong> I try to offer a mix of inspiring images, and images that show my mistakes, and how to dance with them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a good example: I tend to do blind contour drawings in a very slow, detail-oriented way. I almost never do completely blind contours, unless it&#8217;s for an exercise. I enjoy semi-blind drawing where I peek at my paper a little. I also take my time and don&#8217;t go too quickly. One of my students shared a video of artist, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.philinthecircle.com\/goodbye-art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phil Hansen<\/a>, doing blind portraits of people in 1.5 minutes. I thought this sounded like a fun challenge.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to use a picture of my brother as a child and do 3 drawings this way. As you can see, there&#8217;s not much recognizable here at first glance. However, look more. See if you can find some details of accuracy, even in the distortion. <strong>See if you can find playful creatures in these drawings. They are really quite fun, actually.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8173\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Super-Blind-Contour.jpg\" alt=\"imperfect art, blind contour\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>One of the things I love about teaching live classes online is that it pushes me too.<\/strong> I had this rich background, and while looking at ostriches in National Geographic one evening, I had the idea to put an ostrich face staring at the viewer on this page.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8175\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-04-at-9.47.05-AM.png\" alt=\"art journal background, perfectly imperfect art\" width=\"597\" height=\"598\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I went to our friend, Google Images, to find the right expression on the right bird.
