Hello!
Way back in February, I joined Helen C Stark for a session drawing together inspired by the 2020 film adaptation of Emma.
The Time Foragers Club is a wonderfully inspiring (and bestselling) Substack run by Helen C Stark. She is a Yorkshire-based artist and illustrator who makes beautiful illustrated journals and artwork. She runs regular meet-ups drawing and painting with her community, as well as doing regular meet-ups with fellow creatives - like me!
We began with some warm-up drawings from beautiful stills selected by Helen, then moved onto longer timed drawings (15-20 minutes) of scenes from the film. While drawing, Helen asked me about my journey as an illustrator. I won’t pretend that I was entirely coherent - I remember struggling to draw at speed and talk! But it was a lovely way to spend an hour, and I really enjoyed myself. Thanks so much for having me Helen! Helen has kindly given me a copy of the recording and stills for my paid subscribers, below.
Sorry it’s taken me so long to post, it’s been a crazy Spring!
Ella xx
