About Event:

This weekend workshop will be part 1 of 2 workshops to create the image of the Shakyamuni Buddha. In this first workshop Students will learn the traditional approach to drawing Shakyamuni Buddha with the use of a grid. The grid ensures the proportions of the deity remain the same, regardless of the background of the artist.

Part 2 (at a later date) will be painting the Shakyamuni Buddha Image.

The workshop will also include opportunity for gentle guided meditation to give participants opportunity to enter into a quiet refreshing space within the inspiring Chenrezig Institute art studio. Venerable Tony Beaumont will also be joining the class briefly to give more context on Shakyamuni Buddha
