STUDENT OVERVIEW FOR POCKET SKETCHING WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION
POCKET SKETCHING. Using a very small format (4"X6") and very inexpensive materials, anyone can
learn to create watercolor sketches of excellent quality, anywhere. Unleash your creativity and
awareness. FOR TRAVEL THIS IS A PERFECT WAY TO ADD FAR MORE PLEASURE BY
INTERACTING WITH THE LOCALE. It is ideal for journaling and capturing your trip through your
own eyes rather than the lens of a camera. Sketches take about 25 minutes and can be done in any
location, from ship cruises to standing in line. The results are delightful. No previous experience is
needed. Experience will be gained in landscape, still life and people sketching.
MATERIALS (pricing may vary; these are current retail prices in my area)
The class can be taught anywhere there is good light. Group size should be small (ideal 10; 6-12
people is acceptable). For classroom, tables and chairs are needed. Each person needs as much room
as would be required for a meal. Instructor needs a table, card table size or larger. Exercises can be
done standing or sitting "on location". Days one and two are primarily indoors, Day 3 is outdoors in
a tourist location, or indoors if weather is bad. This is for learning you can do it on your own with
excellent results. Critiques are done after every exercise. Learning is achieved from making
"mistakes".
LENGTH OF WORKSHOP
Three full days, 10AM to 4PM is customary. Five full days or partial days allow much more
opportunity to use the technique "on location". Three to six half days can be done in conjunction
with an exercise program or using Julia Cameron's book, The Artist Way.
HANDS ON DEMONSTRATION
A hands-on overview can be done in 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours with students getting to do both black and
white and color sketches. There are two demonstrations (one black and white and one color), for
which instructor and students need table space. The demonstration includes critique sessions.
DRESS - Anything, there's no way to make a mess.
PAY FOR INSTRUCTOR - To be arranged.
