The perfect way to end the week and start the weekend -- relaxing with the wonderful Lindsay for a couple of hours. Storybook illustration often includes a mix of full page and spot illustrations (along with text) and in this workshop you will have the opportunity to explore both. The themes of this workshop are inspired by the illustrations of Beatrix Potter and Arnold Lobel, and through the use of provided sketches and references (or your own if you prefer) you will bring fun animal characters and their environments to life!
