The musician began painting six years ago, but said he’d always enjoyed studying art in school while growing up in Suffolk.
“I started painting at the end of my Divide Tour in 2019 and it’s something that I’ve used as a creative outlet ever since,” Sheeran explained.
“When I was growing up, both of my parents worked in art, so I’ve naturally always been interested in it, and I always enjoyed studying art at school.”
The singer created several paintings between his shows last year.
“I was back and forth on tour last year, and I used a lot of my downtime in the UK to paint.
“I’d run to a disused car park in Soho each morning, paint, then run home and I’d do that daily until I headed back out on tour again.”
