Pocket Sketching with Kath Macaulay
Travel Journaling
Season 2
Episode 2
Always keep equipment at a minimum so you have portability and will sketch. If you bring too much ‘stuff’, you’ll never get it out. No scissors, tape, stencils, etc. A cheap calligraphy pen and your regular pen will allow you to embellish with squiggles, margins, always leaving space for words in the sketch. The sketch can be small, saving time. Embellish later.
