Update After A Long Break

Since my last post, I have moved a few times and will likely move a few more times until fully settled so my art studio practice is in upheavals as I don't have a space to create except for crouching on the floor which isn't comfortable or reliable. 
So sporadically for the remainder of 2019, I plan to offer a few Material Monday posts every other Monday (beginning the 4th of November) as well as a once a month Exhibition Review (next one will be 1st of November) so do stay tuned. 

​

What have I done in my long absence from writing fairly frequent blog posts? 

​I went on a short family holiday to Cornwall in the summer.....
Here we are pictured together as shadows - my mum, my brother and myself. It was fun, delicious, watery, intermittently sunny and eye opening.

​I also have been doing a lot of teaching at the Victoria & Albert Museum.....
Here is a photo of the back of my students all drawing Michelangelo's David at the Victoria & Albert Museum. 
I really enjoy this group, they're so talented and so supportive of each other. Teaching them gives me so much inspiration that I do end up fueled up and ready to dive into my own drawings afterwards which is great for studio motivation! 
I teach through my art group, London Art Museum Creatives which is the best thing I've ever created as it's brought me so many wonderful friends!

Then there is Inktober in which I attempted to try to participate in the online art event but was too busy to fully complete it so I have half of the prompts completed and shared on my instagram account @Mirmarnia while I'm still feverishly trying to finish a large very inky drawing that encompasses the remaining prompts and which I'll be posting by the 31st of October. 
This one pictured here is my illustration for Day 4 "Freeze" .....I chose to do a play on words in my illustrations this year so that all prompts were based on an Octopus for October!
