What Others Are Saying
The Art of Attention workshop transformed how I approach everything, not just art. Highly recommended!
Emma R.
Graphic Designer
"I have been drawing for years and using blind contour but never have I used it like this."
It was a powerful shift in how I 'see' and 'collect' information to abstract from.
Parent, UK
“It felt like a date with presence.”
We sat with our sketchbooks and actually noticed each other. No phones. No rush. Just attention. It made us feel connected and seen after a long time. Thank you.
Max, London
"This is a no-brainer. I’m using these exercises on every trip."
As an artist, I thought I already ‘knew’ how to see. But these drills showed me how shallow my attention had become. I’m using them on all my travels from now on. I want my sketchbooks filled with memories I can feel and remember at will, not just photos.
Roberta, Spain
"My drawing accuracy improved in days.”
The exercises helped me slow down and truly observe again. My hand feels steadier, my lines are cleaner, and my drawings have more subtlety. The shift was immediate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our creative reset workshop and courses.
This workshop is for artists, beginners, returning creatives, and anyone who feels scattered, blocked, or overwhelmed and wants a calm way to reset their attention.
It is ideal for people who struggle to stay focused, want to rebuild their creative rhythm, or feel drained by the fast paced noise of daily life. No experience is needed. Curiosity is enough.
Slow, mindful drawing activates parts of the brain responsible for focus, memory, problem solving, and emotional regulation.
Creative attention helps reduce stress and anxiety while supporting neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to form new and healthier connections. Even simple drawing can bring a sense of calm, deepen awareness, and help you feel more present in your life and creative practice.
It also gives you a chance to reset your intentions for 2026, especially around attention, focus, and how you want to show up in your creative and personal life.

About Your Guide
Hello, I'm Sarmed
This workshop is guided by Sarmed Mirza, an award winning British Asian artist, filmmaker, and educator based in Scotland. His work has been recognised across the UK, including a BAFTA New Talent nomination, finalist standing in the Scottish Portrait Awards, and reaching the second stage of the John Moores Painting Prize.
Sarmed came to art later in life, during a period of personal reinvention shaped by years of meditation and a deep need to learn how to see the world again with clarity and presence.
This shift led him into portraiture, miniature painting, and narrative driven drawing, moving from realism into abstraction, where attention, observation, and lived experience form the foundation of his work.
He teaches drawing and painting to students of all levels, focusing on helping people build a daily creative habit, see more deeply, and reconnect with their own stories through art.
His teaching and artistic practice meet inside Art With Courage, where he shares practical methods for attention, creativity, and meaningful expression.
To draw is to see twice.
— Egon Schiele
I paint as a way of looking for myself in the world.
— Amy Sherald
