Pocket Sketching with Kath Macaulay
Cobbled Still Life
Season 2
Episode 8
Apples in a bowl are boring. In a room pick 3 or 4 items which are not together. Go to them and block them in on your paper, one in front of the other. You are building a composition of things from different places. Go back to each to finish the sketch. Use 5 extra minutes to find your items. Now you can take things out of context in a landscape.
