Bénédicte Gelé uses powdered charcoal, regular charcoal, chalk and pastels to make these soulful paintings of horses. She paints in a variety of mediums but something about the earthy use of charcoal really encapsulates the dusty, natural, robust spirit of horses, which I’m totally in love with.

Focussing on art in retirement, Valerie Davide’s work doesn’t skimp on personality. I love her scratchy style, keeping overworking to an absolute minimum, in charcoal and watercolours.

Akira Beard focuses mainly on figurative and portrait work, and I was really drawn to the way he uses watercolour and Yupo. I also was really humbled by the way he talks about how he came to his art and his experiences making, he talks so candidly and I think that is so touching and special.

I really enjoy the art of Malaysian artist Tilen Ti, his work is so bright, dreamy and colourful, it just makes you feel happy!
What’s even more interesting about this artist is that he has a handful of time-lapse videos on his YouTube channel where he shares how he makes his artwork, which is great for someone like me who is at the best of times artistically challenged or just in need of some inspiration.
