Draw Victorian Gardens
Draw-along Friday 20th September
Hello readers,
Join me for a special drawing date with illustrator and sketchbook artist

A little bit about
she is Irish but grew up in France, and now dwells in South Yorkshire with her husband and 3 boys
connected with Mel earlier this year and they sketched together at the end of July when Helen’s family were on holiday in Cornwall-below is a short video of our time sketching together
Helen illustrated this adult colouring book on Edinburgh
she’s just launched a club on Substack called The Time Foragers’ club-inspired by the attic spaces in Little Women and offers a range of creative zoom sessions and prompts each month

Bring a range of mediums you feel comfortable using or go wild and try some materials you haven’t before!
We’ll be sharing a range of photos from Victorian Gardens and encourage you to use this session as a warm-up/play session.
We will be guiding you through a number of drawing exercises that will be timed and chatting as we go so it should be a fun, energetic and informal time to sketch together. The pace will be varied, containing both fast and slow drawing exercises.
The session will last around 90 minutes and there will be opportunity to share your pages at the end if you want to.
