Life Paintings

Suzette Razon, artist and teacher for over 30 years, has developed a method of “life  paintings,” which allow participants to better understand and feel themselves through  drawing.  With this method, Suzette guides people on how to approach painting and  drawing from a variety of angles, just like life, which can observed from many  directions.  The activity can be done through uninhibited drawing with crayons, and without  really understanding how to draw at all.   A short, spontaneous drawing with no planning at all. However, it comes with the  attitude of a young child who is happy with any result.  Suzette’s goal is to bring out your creativity and discover shapes and colors  through a fun and relaxing painting experience.  Personal or group meetings in Mount Amasa in the forest or in the desert in order  to easily draw and derive inspiration and creativity.  You can also purchase instructional videos for painting at home in your free  timehttps://suzeta.co.il/life-paintings/  See you in the pictures,  Suzette Razon
