Pocket Sketching with Kath Macaulay
Introduction of Pocket Sketching and the Unique Supplies
Season 1
Episode 1
It’s all about portability. Hike, bike, run, linger in a café, sketch in minutes, and move on. Kath does an introduction to the supplies with a demo of the supplies bag used for storage, and as an easel, plus how to hold the paint set in your personal space to never be interrupted. There's no talent needed, only perseverance.
