“I’m Terrible at Art”: Why Adults Stop Drawing — and Why They Should Start Again And Join Adult Art Classes
Adult Art Classes “I can’t draw.” I hear this all the time. Usually before we’ve even picked up a pencil. Somewhere along the way, a lot of adults seem to have decided that drawing is something you’re either naturally good at or you're not. And if you tried it once, drew something that looked a bit shit and didn’t immediately reveal yourself to be the next Leonardo da Vinci, well... probably best to leave art to the talented people. But drawing doesn’t really work like that.

How One Corporate Art Workshop Completely Moved Me
I recently held a workshop at MSI for their 50th anniversary celebration. Now, for most corporate art workshops, I don't do much research about them. Why? Because I don't want to make assumptions, I don't want to be that company who see's who they are, and adds extra 0's to the bill. So turning up to this charity, and learning more about them from the source was an truly transformative experience for me. This recent corporate art workshop changed me completely, and let me te

The Deadly Beauty of White Lead Paint (and Why Artists Loved It Anyway)
The Resurrected Christ - Rembrandt For hundreds of years, artists were willingly painting with something that was slowly poisoning them. Not metaphorically.

White lead paint—one of the most important materials in art history and essential for painting itself —contains lead, a heavy metal that builds up in the body over time. And the worst part? Artists had no idea just how dangerous it was. They

How Long Should It Take Me to Draw?
Yes, AI helped me visualise this Let’s Talk About Time Pacing as an Artist One of the biggest confidence issues I’m seeing in beginner artists at the moment is this idea that if you can’t draw fast , you must not be very good. How long should it take me to draw? Somewhere along the way, the internet has convinced people that if you’re not producing a perfectly realistic portrait in 15 minutes, while filming it from three angles and making it look effortless, then you’ve someh
