Touch Drawing Opens the Artist to New Places


ORA artists and guests gathered this afternoon to explore Touch Drawing. Led by artist Shemaya Blauer, we used brayers to spread ink on boards, layered on tissue paper, closed our eyes and drew. Shapes formed beneath finger tips, palms and even elbows. Evocative patterns emerged while blocked channels opened.

This was a special opportunity to explore what was hidden beneath the surface and a new process was explored! Fun? ... yes! Inspiring? .... definitely! Messy? Absolutely!

Thank you Shemaya for a great session....and our gratitude as well to Neveh Shalom for providing us with a marvelous space to do our soul work.
