TRAVEL - Teaching & Sketching

OCTOBER 2023

---

As our Northwest teaching and sketching trip turned out, it was the former - not the latter.  I should have known as I'm from Salem, Oregon.  The sketching was to be an end reward...but it rained.  September is always safe; not this time.  We fled into eastern Washington (always dependably sunny) ... and it rained.  The three workshops were excellent and we stayed with friends and visited friends.  We came home with a darling pot made by Rosalie, a recipe from Houb and wonderful memories.  We don't plan to do any more travel workshops.

This Month's Tip

​The sketch this time makes a strong point.  If you plan to sketch something that may move (little boy sitting on a curb), do that first.  The building, plants & ground will all stay put.  The animal will move or totally leave, which he did the second I had him sketched!  It's terrific practice. You will develop the ability to remember what you saw and to extrapolate what isn't still there.

We leave Saturday the 7th for Grand Rapids to film Season Four of Pocket Sketching®  I've been writing furiously to get the 13 Episodes ready.  Guess what?  They are people.  My famous striped outfit that doesn't fit, but it sure makes it easy to sketch people.  I do hope this works.

Occasionally I recommend other teachers.  I took my first workshop from Tom Lynch in about 1986.  He's a very good watercolor instructor.  Now he's teaching online.  Look up his work at Google:  Tom Lynch, artist.  When I announced one of his online workshops before, several people took it and really enjoyed it, so I'm recommending him again.
