Welcome to The Illustration Club !
The Illustration Club is a creative membership community founded by artist Alen Clo and focusing on monthly artistic themes around the beautiful world of style in fashion, beauty and interiors. It is a safe place where you can get your creative juices flowing and have fun while learning and getting personalised support and feedback.
Expressing our inner world on paper creatively can sometimes be intimidating. Especially when we haven't painted or drawn for a long time. Guidance and inspiration can be crucial in the process of reviving our creative spirit. The Illustration Club is here to offer all support needed.
