The Workshop Began

Parul thanked the host for the introduction and the opportunity. She drew some flowers and leaves and cut them out, drew them on a piece of paper and made outlines with a black outliner. Shen then went ahead and stuck them on the cardboard cutout, drawing flowers with orange colour and green leaves on a coloured bookmark.
