Creativity and mental health, an Interview with urban sketcher and artist, Ian Fennelly

[@dianapereira1327]

This year I´ve decided I going to start painting outside. I´m still getting used to the people having to take a look at what I´m doing. I have felt like street entertainment. Aside from that I have been loving it completely. It does bring you closer with the place and it brings me incredible joy. For now I have been painting mostly nature as it is more secluded and has been cleaning my soul most efficiently. I Love your art style, and your braveness in bringing such a big block. Like you said, i´m still the person in the corner with the small sketchbook.

Bloopers were funny! Thank you for including them. I think I am Ian's official stalker - I follow him on every social media I could find him. LOL! Really love his sketches. Brenda, I guess I am a closet sketcher too, or maybe just shy and not so confident one. Would be great to take a workshop with Ian! Is he going to come to USA?
