#nescbwi17

This is the illustration I made for the NESCBWI conference poster display. I really liked drawing this one.

I had so much fun creating this art for Giuseppe Castellano’s Illustrators’ Intensive at the 2017 NESCBWI Conference — a scene from Beatrix Potter’s “The Tale of Little Pig Robinson”! I shared some behind-the-scenes steps on my blog at: http://www.juliaanneyoungillustration.com/blog/2017/4/25/process-behind-my-little-pig-robinson-painting

This was the art I did for the #NESCBWI17 conference #Illustration assignment. The prompt was "Can I keep it?" I mounted a photocopy of this on foam board as instructed for displaying there and I had no intention of lugging the copy home with me so I tossed it in the trash when the judging was done. Another attendee walked by and asked if she could take it. Of course I gave it to her. I may not have won the contest but I think mine was the only piece that is now adorning the wall of an elementary school in New England and that is even better, IMO! #kidlitillustrator #childrensillustrator #childrensillustration #whimsical #watercolor #illustration #art #kidlitart #kidlitillustration #chicken #rabbit #bunny #dandelion #clover #nature #farm #funny #artofinstagram #artistsoninstagram
