"Homoerectus" Inventory Drawing with Peter Hristoff

Led by Visual Artist Peter Hristoff, "Inventory Drawing" is a unique, liberating session encouraging participants to create up to 75 drawings in one sitting. Inspired by Hristoff's approach honed at The School of Visual Arts, NY, it aims to free artists from self-imposed constraints, fostering joyful, open drawing. Prompted by the poetry of C.P. Cavafy, Giorgos Seferis, and Sappho, attendees work from imagination, layering images to form implied narratives. Timed at about a minute each, this non-stop drawing session cultivates fearless drawing, regardless of skill level, complementing Hristoff's exhibition at SlipStitch Studio.
