It was an absolute joy to be invited to host my portrait studio workshop @stbarbemuseum I love sharing my passion for drawing with others. I use a huge variety of different drawing prompts to help break down control and encourage flow state. With a focus on curiosity and discovering how you draw, it is magic to see participants become truly excited by portraiture. St Barbes, thank you having me. by @stbarbemuseum
