Abdul Mustapha, who grew up in Nigeria, moved to the UK to study Aerospace Engineering, but soon found his passion lay in fine art.
Abdul is now launching his ‘From Sketch to Canvas’ workshops at Wyllyotts Theatre on November 3.

The sessions aim to bring Hertfordshire adults together to discover their own creativity, guiding beginners from charcoal sketches to completed acrylic landscape paintings.
Having started drawing at six, Abdul had to temporarily abandon his passion as it was not considered a traditional career path.
However, after years of refining his skills and falling in love with the British landscape, he has found his calling.
