Picture Book - weekend workshop

Especially for those just starting get information straight from a pro

Writing and illustrating children’s books has always been my dream job, but for a long time, it felt out of reach. I often heard how oversaturated and competitive the industry is, and that belief held me back from even trying. Feeling lost in my creative purpose, I jumped at the opportunity to join Beatrice’s Picture Book Workshop - and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made for my own sense of creative fulfilment and drive.

I started the course eager to learn but feeling overwhelmed, convinced that breaking into the industry was nearly impossible. Beatrice completely changed my perspective. She demystified the industry, breaking it down in a way that made success feel not only possible but achievable. I walked away with a newfound confidence, along with clear, actionable steps to pursue my goals.

Beatrice is incredibly generous with her expertise and time. She ensures that every question is answered, she openly shares her creative process, and walks us through how she delivers her work - nothing was off-limits. The value of this course goes beyond just knowledge and resources; it also provides a supportive community of like-minded creatives who uplift and inspire each other.

Attending this workshop has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for realigning with my artistic vision and carreer goals. It has reignited my passion and given me the clarity and motivation to move forward in my creative journey. If you're on the fence about pursuing your dream job in children's book illustration, this course is a game-changer.

This intensive workshop was a big time and financial investment for me, but it was worth every single penny and every single second that I spent with Beatrice and the lovely group of students in my class. Attending each session felt like a cozy slumber party with fellow children’s book lovers.

Beatrice shared a lot of her insights and knowledge about the publishing world, writing, illustration, and everything in between. She was very mindful about answering everyone’s questions during lessons and generous in giving her input to everyone —no question was too big or too small. That kindness and openness is so invaluable, especially coming from someone whose work I’ve loved for years and who has achieved so much in her field.

I’m grateful to Beatrice for devoting so much care and time to developing this workshop. I came away from it feeling inspired to write more stories and illustrate beautiful worlds in which my characters can have their little adventures.

Beatrice is such a genuinely kind-hearted person that she was able to make a zoom call with people from all around the world feel as comfortable as if you were sitting at a café with your friends, while at the same time teaching us invaluable skills that I will cherish along my illustration journey forever.

When I signed up for this workshop, I was worried that my lack of experience and differing time zone would diminish the impact of this workshop. However, this was not the case at all! Beatrice is very skilled at teaching in a way that is accessible for all levels. She did this by recording and uploading the zoom calls right away, and tailoring this workshop uniquely to the curiosities of all the students in the class. I was amazed not only at the depth her answers covered, but also the range of topics we were able to learn about in just a short weekend. This workshop really is an intensive - the class was packed with Beatrice’s personal experiences from how to publish, tell a story with color, the structure and timeline of making a picture book, and so, so much more. I am beyond grateful to have taken this workshop and my confidence has grown significantly. Thank you Beatrice!

Beatrice changed the way I see not just my art, but myself as well. She puts so much love and energy into everything she does, which is why her books and workshops are so special. They make you see art in a whole new way.

Thanks to her, I rediscovered my passion for art. She has deep knowledge in illustration and animation—you can ask her literally anything! We did so many hands-on exercises, and Beatrice shared an incredible amount of resources.

She’s a magical person. The only downside to the workshop? It ended. I just wish it had lasted longer! 🌈 ✴️
