Now I have attended all 3 types of your workshops: traditional live workshop, Covid-19 mask and distancing workshop, and Zoom workshop. (Toss in your great PBS program showing here, and I guess that makes 4 types!). In a nutshell, you made Zoom the best of all worlds! No travel. No hotels. Still, great lessons. Full-size sketchpad on my computer screen. I can totally see what you are doing, and we could ask questions as you went along. Excellent individual critique of sketches while sharing with great people. More time to spend on 'homework' to try different things. Good time frame of 5 hour-and-a-half lessons, plus a half hour for socializing before class. Having the lessons available for two weeks made it easy to review and catch up when I had a conflict. Thanks for bringing your workshop to Zoom and my computer.

The classes were very well prepared, well presented, designed for student success and there was no wasted time or filler time.  Kath knows her subject and is very thorough.  She keeps evaluations brief and to the point.  I reviewed each lesson to catch what I may have missed.  One reason I signed up was to be able to go back and revisit the lessons." - Gayle S.

SUMMARY


​Upon completion of the 5-Class Workshop, students should be able to enjoy sketching on location anywhere with 
total portability and no clean-up.
​
​Pocket Sketching® can be used hiking, biking, sauntering or just standing in line.

All class sessions are recorded and available  for two (2) weeks -  great for review, when absent or when something is missed.

Several watercolors of John Singer Sargent are used as examples of technique.
