Pocket Sketching and Watercolor
with Mary Kaye Sawyer-Morse
January 20 – 21 9 to 4
$300 Members, $315 Non-Members
This quick-draw technique anyone can learn is perfect for hiking, biking, sauntering, or just sitting in a café. Capture what you think you see in 25 minutes or less using a water-soluble pen, a 4 x 6-inch pad of paper and a small watercolor paint set. Ideal for the timid beginner to paint fearlessly in public, and the advanced artist who wants minimal equipment, total portability, speed, no interruptions, and no clean-up. Escape into meditation while sketching!
Learn and use:
- Speed – to avoid multiple focal points, excessive detail, ruining freshness
- Characteristics of the water-soluble pen which allows the range of value
- Being invisible and undisturbed when working in the middle of public places
- Visual editing, on location, to get the essential quality of what you think you see (not necessarily what is there)
- Individual, encouraging critique sessions, demonstrations, and hands-on help
