"This new book is wonderful and hits new levels of getting playful with creativity... The book gets you to explore and play with colour and make 'happy mistakes'. Not in the least intimidating to someone who is just starting out... The book has a non-judgemental and encouraging tone all the way. Colourful, fun, creative. I adore it." - Susie Pearl, Author of The Art of Creativity

About the Author

Lorna Scobie grew up in the depths of the English countryside, climbing trees and taking her rabbit for walks in the fields. She is an illustrator and designer, now based in south London. Growing up surrounded by nature has heavily influenced her illustrations and her work often revolves around the natural world and animal kingdom.

Lorna draws every day, and always has a sketchbook close to hand when she's out and about, just in case. She illustrates her work by hand rather than digitally, as she enjoys the spontaneity and also the 'happy mistakes' that can happen along the way. Her favourite places to draw are museums and botanical gardens.
