— Wassily Kandinsky
The Drawing workshop run by knitting and textile artist Celia Pym inspired me to discover the relationship between music and painting.
When I just moved to London, my friend asked me to join a life drawing workshop, I refused, “I have never drawn a naked person, I would feel shy. ” I didn’t expect that today I would spend 6 hours joining 2 life drawing workshops and felt “It’s not enough, I want more !”
