On October 19-20, I went to the workshop, “The Exquisite Act of Balancing Text and Art with Richard Jesse Watson.” hosted the SCBWI SWTX chapter.
In the weeks prior to attending the workshop the attendees where given an assignment. We were asked to illustrate a paradigm shift featuring the beloved A. A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh characters.
“What day is it?”
“It’s today.” squeaked Piglet
“My favorite day,” said Pooh.
I decided to send them to the future… to a land were there was a shortage of honey! “Oh Dear!”
Here in this illustration, they’re beginning their quest to find the land of Abundant Honey. No more tummy grumbles!
The workshop was really fun and inspirational.
Richard Jesse Watson, is a great speaker, a kind and encouraging person, and of course an amazing artist!
