Really sorry for your loss and heartfelt condolences as you heal from your grief. 🫢Sending much love and positivity your way. I absolutely loved this post so much!! Is this program for well established artists or can beginners join the program to improve their skills in a concentrated 10 weeks? Your take on Happy Union was wonderful, I always learn so much from your process posts. I have a million gallery art in my phone that I’ve taken from museums I’ve traveled to but never had the courage to copy them in this manner. I’ll give it a try to understand them at a deeper level. Thank you so much for sharing your process and looking forward to the next two chapters of this.

I've not copied a painting since I was at college and it was a huge struggle for me at the time so I've not done it since! 🫣 It sounds as though you learn so much from doing it I'd like to try again. Love your drawings!x

All my love and condolences, dear Louise. I hope you are slowly healing and finding moments to smile about, despite the grief of your loss.

It is so lovely to see just how much work you made, and how useful the drawing programme was to your practice! The National Gallery sketches are fantastic, you’ve captured so much of each painting’s original energy, but all in your own wonderful style!

Oh, and of course it was *such* a highlight for me to finally catch up with you for a little mudlark adventure πŸ˜† Really looking forward to reading the next instalment, and also hope to see you again soon!
