What you leave with
A finished illustration painted entirely by you, a genuine feel for the mediums used and a very enjoyable time in Cascais with good food and good company.
I am Julie Lesouef Baleia, a freelance illustrator and designer based in Portugal. I left corporate communications in 2016, moved to Portugal and retrained as a graphic designer and illustrator. Painting has always been part of who I am, and in recent years my work has expanded into murals, which give me a sense of creative freedom that is genuinely unmatched. I now also run workshops in the Lisbon region where I guide people to create their own illustrations in a relaxed and friendly environment. The goal is always the same: that you leave having had fun, made something you love and discovered a medium worth returning to.
Takes place at House of Wonders Restaurant, Cascais. Duration approximately three hours. Sessions in English and French. Price 50 euros including all materials and brunch.
