Kath talks about the fear of not doing perfect work, fear of being seen to not be 'a good painter', fear of the overwhelmingly complex outdoor world, and how to cancel them all to simply have a great time and revel in a "It doesn't matter" mentality.
Kath shows what to sketch when you can't go outdoors, ways to 'see' outdoors and things to do indoors, and how to put items together to make a "still life" when they are not in context.
Kath illustrates the change of perspective if your eye level changes. Since the goal is to sketch and not create an architectural photograph, free hand is adequate without a ruler.
Kath plays with the freedom to exaggerate. See her work with unlimited color and distortion, and see the difference a frame makes in presentation and your self-evaluation of your finished sketch.
Sketching people in the distance is incredibly easy. Kath demonstrates how to make a 'good one' stand out in a crowd. When using small size paper there is no need for perfection of detail such as hands, ears and facial features, and even faces. Also, a conversation on how to get people in public to willingly 'pose' for you.
Kath herself imitates what a person up close can look like when trying to sketch them. She discusses the importance of props and what the person is doing, how you can see the proportions, and where and how to begin.
This episode's sketch is done in a parking lot outside, showing how you move the elements to be used into a pleasing design, emphasizing what you want instead of accepting it as the camera would.
This demonstration illustrates is the major use for Pocket Sketching, furthering the reason equipment is compact, portable, with no clean up. It can be used wherever you go, even outside next to a cactus!
