Hi friends!
How’s your week been? We’ve had a fairly normal week with school, studio work and after school activities. Some blue skies, some grey. I’ve really enjoyed my morning coffees. And the snowdrops, my studio space and tulips.
We had friends over for lunch on Sunday and they brought me tulips. So what could I do!!? Of course I had to draw them!! And so my obsession began!! On Thursday I had a whole morning drawing and painting these. In so doing, I got a head start on these visual journals - filled up the left page very quickly!!
Also this week, I continued the January Plein Air Challenge which is coming to an end!! So many people took part in this by either posting their plein air work in the club chat or on Instagram and did SUCH a fantastic job!! Thanks to all who got out in the cold and braved the elements to do this!! More on this in the February GAZETTE which will drop today.
Highlights from this week include:
finishing the plein air challenge and learning so much from the process
studying tulips, the shape, the colours
writing the February GAZETTE and reminding myself of how much everyone has achieved in the club this month
drawing the snowdrops locally, especially on Saturday in Epworth
organising a Paris in Winter zoom call with Samantha Dion Baker in February - I can’t wait - it’ll be on Valentine’s
drawing Italy in our zoom drawing session (see below)
watching Ezra swim for the first time
the general feeling that January wasn’t that bad after all and feeling very grateful for it
How was your week and how would you illustrate it?

Thanks for reading. Don’t miss the club GAZETTE coming out later today as well. There’s a whole bunch of dates and meetings in it, including a journaling session, a decluttering session and the special Paris in Winter drawing session with guest Samantha Dion Baker. As usual, sign up to these by becoming a paid subscriber and heading to the club chat. Can’t wait to carve out time to create with you in February!!
Bisous!! xxx
