Monday Mornings with Matt!

A weekly series of drawing lessons and question-and-answer sessions with me, author-illustrator Matt Tavares, live from my studio! I would LOVE to see the artwork you create when you're drawing with me. A grownup can either post it on social media with #DrawWithMatt, and/or tag me, @tavaresbooks, or email it to me at matt@matttavares.com. These 11 episodes ran every Monday morning at 10:00 EST on Facebook Live, between March 23 and June 1, 2020.  If you missed the live broadcasts, no problem!
