Intro To Pocket Sketching

This class will leave you feeling more confident in your approach to painting. It gives you the knowledge of where your focal point , perspective with contrast, perspective with colors and what needs to be included in a sketch. The timed sketching helps you with what details to leave in and what to leave out of a scene sketch. You will learn to paint on the go and travel light with the Pocket Sketch equipment. If you have been procrastinating whether to take a watercolor painting course. This course being a fundamental course will open doors to other possibilities.
