A remarkably comprehensive workshop.  I loved every day and learned more watercolor techniques and tips than I'll ever use.  ​Amazing!

We went biking in Europe...and I did a whole lot of sketches in the 4"x6" little book. It is better than photos because I can remember so much more.

I tried a watercolor class before and I left thinking watercolor wasn't for me.  Kath's workshop changed my mind. Really well organized, fun.  ​We learned a ton.

Refresher Course

More than an in-depth review, this workshop includes the things you asked for: clouds, running water, more people & glass. 

Kath Macaulay is back to offer those who have had the pleasure of joining one of her Pocket Sketching® workshops advanced techniques that will take their work to the next level. New are the use of pencil & permanent pen such as ballpoint (best of both worlds allows sketches in five minutes) for travel, journeling and people in their environment. Add working super-fast, under duress, from memory and a moving subject + your requests during class. It's all within your grasp but truly advanced.

All exercises will emphasize speed of execution to retain focal point & eliminate excessive detail. Frequent demonstrations and critiques after each exercise or at the end of a session. All critiques are supportive: if you're ready for a tougher critique, as I give myself, ask for it!

OBJECTIVE:

• Be able to sketch or journal anywhere, under any circumstances, fearlessly, in 25 minutes or less
• Know the tremendous advantages of your equipment
• Be able to travel anywhere, by any means and capture anything you think you see
• Escape into meditation while sketching

Workshop Format

• 5 Class sessions - 2 hours each (can be extended to complete discussion with students)
• Spaced with 2 days between sessions to allow time for homework
• Class recordings available for 2 weeks for review
• Microphone opened 15 minutes early
  • Early arrivals
  • Group discussion
  • Questions for Instructor
• Interactive evaluations throughout
• Homework evaluation at beginning of each class
• Each session will have a demonstration with students doing the exercise, then a review of that work and new material before the homework assignment.
• Refresher classes go fast, are great fun, and have a lot of interaction and information.
