Observational drawing with Ruby Miller

Draw what you see, not what you think you see—this is the deceptively simple principle behind observational drawing. Ruby Andromeda Miller guides both beginner and advanced artists through a series of drawing exercises designed to ground the observer in the moment.  Part art lesson, part meditation, this approach to observational drawing is as much about the experience as the outcome.


Changes are upon us, and we are being called to reconsider the ways we feed, educate and sustain each other, and the ways we organize our economies and lives. Drawing on the roots of community resiliency, we're going to hold some space, and balance teaching and conversation to get us a little further down the road.

There's so much to address; so many immediate needs, from the disproportionate impact of COVID-related chaos on communities of color to the long-standing systems that injure and destroy both people and planet. This seven weeks of programming is one small offering in the direction of creating new ways of living and being with each other in the world.

These programs are free for all; contributions to the hosting organizations are welcome but not demanded. We are grateful to all of our presenters for their volunteerism, leadership, and knowledge-sharing at this time more than ever.
