Irene Ruby, Makings and Musings
I draw every day and help others to do the same.
Hi, I am Irene and I am a Dutch Illustrator and Artist living in the UK. I am also a Lawyer who worked in the financial sector for years before deciding to quit my job and focus on building a business around art.
I now run Makings and Musings, teach art classes, courses, running a creative membership community, create youtube tutorials and I write a monthly newsletter.
I draw and paint every day and I help others to make art a habit in their lives too.
You can join my community or one of my courses on my website:

You can support my youtube channel by buying me a coffee:

It makes it possible for me to create this free content and I really appreciate your support!
Please subscribe and I hope to see more of you soon!
Love, Irene
