Sketching Equipment and Tips

Season 4 Episode 2

Kath demos each piece of equipment, why it is selected and how to use it. Kath shares an unusual way to politely repel interference, how to use your bag as an easel and how to unload it for use, then reload it very quickly without ever putting anything down. And, how to use the pen and brush for wash drawings and how to access your ‘chi’ in your sketches.
