Julie's Weekly Challenge
“I want to draw something, but I don’t know what to draw.” We’re grateful to member Julie Sanders for setting a weekly challenge to give us a focus, particularly during lockdown. Some of the drawings in this issue are the result of Julie’s challenges - so if you’d like to join in, go to our Facebook page, or email Julie on: Julie.sanders0810@gmail.com and she will copy you into the weekly email with the new challenge.
