Art classes – online and in the real

I am running one to one and online art classes due to the current situation and loving the benefits that the different types of classes can have.

What do you think?

The great part of an open studio is hearing people’s comments, talking to people, the conversation. So how do we replicate that virtually? I am asking… I don’t have an answer. Do you?

Drawing for Wellbeing

I have made a 10 minute drawing for well-being video. If you like it, please donate to The Royal Papworth Charity, they saved my husband life a few times over the years and right now they are facing unprecedented challenges which I know they will be dealing with with excellence and compassion.
