That observation about writing vs. art is so true! I’ve had my own writing voice for ages and have come to trust that, and I’m beginning to apply that to my drawing now as well. It’s always good to see that feeling put into words by someone else who has gone through the process.

I’ve been sorry to miss your workshops, so far — just bad timing for me. Your words in this blog and art are so inspiring, can’t imagine how much more inspiring it would be with one of your workshops. Best of luck with your book - can’t wait to see it and buy a copy!

Thank you Cindy! I would love to have you in a future workshop. Has it been a mismatch of day or time of day?

Glad to help! I don't do a lot of courses and I certainly don't recommend something unless it is very helpful, so I'm sure this will be of benefit to you. 🙌

I love that quote about making art "in your own voice", vs writing in your own voice.

Struggling with both, finding similarities as well as differences, succeeding in different ways, has helped to see it. Glad to help! 🙌

I’m about to go out for a walk with an artist to do some sneaky walking-sketches. Never done this before. Your posts have given me a bit of confidence. There’s one thing having a go and quite another producing something artistic but never the less I’m going to enjoy these next few hours.
