Pocket Sketching with Kath Macaulay

POCKET SKETCHING IS designed for both beginners and the advanced artist. Beginners can follow each episode and enjoy the fun of success, while the advanced artist finds a fast, totally portable, compact technique that goes anywhere. Each episode demonstrates a new skill. Nothing is threatening: the supplies are few, and everything's compact and portable with no clean-up. Pocket Sketching demonstrates how one can capture magic on paper in 25 minutes or less.
