Drawing Ground: The Pause
How can we make our lives more creative and joyful? Perhaps by setting aside one creative day each month as a starting point.
Drawing is a simple and powerful way to reconnect with your imagination, slow down, and reset. Drawing Ground: The Pause at Stanley Arts is a series of relaxed and welcoming drawing sessions for adults, offering a gentle creative space to pause, breathe, and make art away from the pressures of everyday life.
Session 1, 22 May: Close observation & sensory still life drawing
Session 2, 26 June: Expressive pastel drawing inspired by abstract artists
Session 3, 17 July: Fluid watercolour drawing
Time: 10am–12.30pm
When: 22 May, 26 June, 17 July 2026 (Fridays)
Where: The Living Room, Stanley Arts
This is for anyone needing a creative reset - whether you’re a freelancer taking a mindful day away from work, a parent carving out a rare quiet moment, an older adult exploring creativity with more time, or simply someone looking for calm, inspiration, and connection.
Each session explores a different approach to drawing, with gentle guidance, creative prompts, and all materials provided. Inspired by the performative energy of Stanley Arts, these sessions invite you to explore drawing as a sensory experience. People are invited to explore drawing in playful, imaginative, and sometimes unexpected ways.
