This course has been programmed for students who have already taken the Pocket Sketching Workshop with Kath in past years, and are interested in a refresher course. Students who have not taken Kath’s course previously should not enroll. During the refresher course, Kath will emphasize speed, sketching in public, and editing to the focal point. Students who enroll should bring their Pocket Sketching kit along with the light materials list (sent to you via email upon enrollment). Kath will have some kits available for purchase if needed. Get outside and back in the groove with Kath!

Pocket Sketching Workshop
Explore Park City as you learn the technique of pocket sketching with Kath Macaulay. This quick-draw technique allows anyone to “journal” wherever they are using only a 4 x 6 art pad, a pen, a small paint set, a brush and a film canister of water. Perfect for hiking, sitting in a café or standing in line — take it anywhere, whip it out in a minute, and preserve a memory in 25 minutes or less. With a pocket sketch it’s more about capturing the “feel” of a place rather than simply taking a camera image. This workshop is ideal for timid beginners who want to fearlessly paint in public, for experienced artists who want minimal equipment with no clean-up, and for anyone wanting a truly intimate record of what you think you see. Kath Macaulay has shown at Robert N. Blair, Buffalo, NY (in the Metropolitan, Corcoran and Whitney Galleries), Bong Wai Chen, Portland, OR (known as the Asiatic World’s top painter of the butterfly), Nicholas Brigante, and Los Angeles (collected extensively by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art). She has taught at Canyon Ranch, Tucson; Sedona Arts Center, Sedona, AZ; Sun Valley Art Center, ID; Mt. Vernon, WA; Jackson Hole, WY; Evergreen, CO; Dillman’s Lac du Flambeau, WI.
Wake & Draw the Figure II
Unwind from the work week and enjoy your Saturday morning in the studio. This class is back by popular demand! Grab an easel or a drawing horse, bring a pad of paper, your preferred drawing medium, and your creativity. A nude and/or draped model will be present to pose. Students will work with the model to communicate positions, quick draw exercises, or extended time draws, etc., which will allow students to continue their study of the figure. There is no instructor during this open studio session, so it is suggested that students who register have figure drawing experience. Wake & Draw is meant to be a creative meeting place for artistic people to share their techniques and skills in a community setting. Come by and try it! Space is limited to 10 students, so please register in advance to reserve your space.

New Perspectives: Drawing & Painting for Teens
Beginning with the basics of landscape, students will then expand upon what they see. Stretching the imagination, students will deconstruct the natural surroundings they observe in reality. From cityscapes to mountain ranges, students will play with combining horizon lines to make a new, imagined landscape. Students will also examine images “under a microscope”, taking an object from nature (feather, stick, rock, leaf etc.), and taking a closer look to focus on the amazing details of the natural world. Perhaps try to draw the world upside down to test the mind and train the eyes to see the new shapes that form. We will challenge the norm and experiment with new perspectives.
