Ariane, 2020

This Portrait was from a photograph set by the wonderful team at DRAW. This Brighton based group had one of the best responses to deal with the pandemic as they adapted extremely quickly to move online following lockdown. The result was a Patreon subscription set-up with a number of online classes and photo sets and Ariane was one of the first portrait photo sets available.

I was lucky enough to continue to work during lockdown and it also increased my opportunity to be able to draw in the evenings and go to online classes. I am still a subscriber to DRAW and would highly recommend them, offering both online and now in person classes. https://www.patreon.com/DrawBrighton/collections
