Tedx Cape town 2016

I was honored to be a part of the 2016 TedX conference in Cape Town, South Africa. The morning started with two talks, and then my performance. What a wonderful morning we had!

Drawing Lydia

After I explained my process of drawing without looking at the paper and with one line, I shot a flying helicopter into the air and Lydia grabbed it - this was her chance to be drawn!

Here to listen

It was interesting to learn that only a handful of people had their portrait drawn. Numerous people had a quick charactacture drawn - this was something I know most people are not doing... it's amazing - SIT for an artist once in your life!

Love the line

It was a great opportunity to let people understand my process and encourage people to draw this way - for stress relief and creative growth.

My art simply shows that there aren't any wrongs, it's the enjoyment of figuring out how to get from point A to point B with one line without looking and creating what you see "Blind contour refers to a method of drawing in which the artist draws a line and never looks at the paper.
