Join us as we visit Mark Jelliman at his incredibly zen private studio, Mantra, to get this close-up masterclass of how he creates his blackwork peonies!

Check out the video for an in-depth look at Mark’s way of working as he creates this blackwork peony across the difficult knee ditch spot, including his own way of retaining individuality while working in an industry with so many incredible artists.
