You are visiting a  park with beautiful children playing. You capture the moment with a camera....but are disappointed that you captured what the camera saw, not what you saw at the moment.

You might like to sketch or paint the scene....but you don't have your materials with you.....and a big canvas (paper) can be pretty intimidating. The scene is changing and I don't have time to capture this moment.

Pocket Sketching is the answer that I have developed and taught to many people all over the world. The materials all fit into a "fanny pack" that you can have with you on walks, dinners and just out having fun.  Many of my students might be a little intimidated by starting with a large canvass, so this 4" X 6" formatwill enable you to capture  your ideas without investing in a lot of materials. You will learn this fun and inspirational way to save your memories, creating a wonderful sketch in 25 minutes or less.

I am always inspired by nature, I find peace, excitement, solace, power, everything you can find in music, to be outdoors.  I try to catch the emotional impact of the moment in my work. I will guide and teach you how to capture your memories and feelings.

My goal when teaching is to impart my technique to the class and to help each person realize they are really ‘getting it’ and they are far exceeding what they think they are capable of achieving.  It’s all in seeing with a very open mind, experimenting, evaluating from outside your expectations (limitations).  To me it’s totally exciting to help each person discover his/her ability, honest self evaluation and self reward, while learning a sketching technique to use anywhere for life.
