Pocket Sketching with Kath Macaulay

Where to Start and How

Season 1 Episode 6

After showing her unique method of using her hand as a view finder, Kath does a demonstration of a very moody evening scene of an adobe house in New Mexico. She shows editing in and out items that build the impression, like taking a photo with your phone so you are mentally free to sketch just the essentials that capture your personal impression.
