Mike reflects on some recent live draws, discusses reference photos, and is ready for acrylics. Mike is then joined by Lara Call Gastinger to talk about her journey from nature to science and art. She talks about her award-winning botanical work as well as her interactions with her followers via Patreon and live draw events. She covers her process and speaks to some of her recent work. She also talks about how she developed The Perpetual Journal and why everyone should try it. Her homework will leave you wanting more.
