The Good Student – “Supplies Me”

This year is my year to be a “good student”. This year I promised to learn to draw….properly. Really, truly P.R.O.P.E.R.L.Y…. I’ve had an “art-crush” on Jane Davenport for a few years now, so when the planets aligned I signed up for her “Supplies Me” online workshop.

Anyhoo, back to some creativeContinue reading “123 Challenge for May”
