Maggie was positive and engaging and the subject matter was interesting. Maggie gave hints and tricks that i found really helpful. A basic drawing ability is probably advantagous to get the most of this class, I think.

It was really an enjoyable day. The teacher, Maggie, was dreadfully sweet and took her time to explain to the "ahem" more gormless of us how to draw and achieve a goal. Lovely spot at the Uni too.

Title or Location: Margot Robbie
I discovered a love of drawing in 2025, after medically retiring from the workforce. I would spend all day drawing, for days on end. It gave me a purpose. Learning to draw has been very rewarding, and has connected me with a wonderful community of artists. I particularly love drawing portraits, and am sometimes inspired to draw the star from a movie I just watched! I drew this portrait of Margot Robbie after watching (half of) ?A Big Bold Beautiful Journey?. (I lost interest in the movie, but
