ONLINE WORKSHOP organized by Pratt Institute NYC
Drawing the Face of the Buddha
Learn to draw the Face of the Buddha according to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition!
The original workshop at Pratt Institute NYC will now be offered through Zoom at the exact same hours 6.30-9.30PM (EDT / NYC time)
To ensure the same in-depth experience as you would get in the onsite workshop Carmen will offer the same structure, with a clear meditation, lecture, instruction videos and of course her undivided time and guidance, in order for you to create a beautiful Buddha Face.
Drawing experience is not necessary.
PLEASE REGISTER BELOW
With a short meditation and a short lecture to learn more about the backgrounds and symbolism of Tibetan thangkas, this is the best introduction if you want to learn how to draw a Tibetan thangka, such as Medicine Buddha, the Buddha of Healing, which is the subject of the following online thangka course.
To draw the Buddha Face we will work with the original grid-patterns (that contain the right proportions), which serve as a helpful tool.
