Drawing as Meditation online art class

I enjoyed another online art class with @LondonDrawingGroup called Drawing as Meditation with artist Yasmin Agilah Hood. It was wonderful to carve out some time to meditate, breathe deeply, create without judgement, enjoy the process and doodle.

Lavender inspiration

I had a special request for a lavender painting which made me happy because lavender was already on my list for summer paintings. I planted this lavender hedge three years ago; it’s really coming on. I couldn’t wait to see it in bloom!

Henri Matisse ‘Painting with Scissors’ online art class

An unexpected bonus during the Pandemic lockdown; many workshops, classes and talks have gone online making them far more accessible. @LondonDrawingGroup are doing some great low cost, donation only, art classes.
