What's On UEN-TV
Pocket Sketching with Kath Macaulay

Virtual TravelThursday, May 2
11:30 am on UEN-TV 9.1Because you can't always go somewhere, why not relive the best places? Using a photo from your travel, isolate focal points and sketch only one. Always use the timer to stay within 25 minutes. (Architecture takes an extra 5 minutes.) As your mind can visualize only one thing at a time, you will escape into the trip. When you review your sketch, you will remember far more than is in the photo. This is a fabulous meditation. -

FoodTuesday, April 30
2:00 pm on UEN-TV 9.1No timer needed. You've paid for it, you're hungry and it's getting cold. Start with a mark and possibly include any background. It's ephemeral, fast and fun. A bit about drinking and sketching. -
Plein Air with ArchitectureThursday, April 25
11:30 am on UEN-TV 9.1Kath demonstrates sketching with a huge advantage: the timer! If you don't like the location or the results, you wasted only 25 minutes of your life and have lots of time to do another! -

JournalingTuesday, April 23
2:00 pm on UEN-TV 9.1The difference is words. The addition of words doubles the meaning. Date the entry. Leave space for words that tell what's important. Can be extremely personal and a private journal just for you. Can be a shared travel journal. Greeting cards as a travel journal. Also, how to pick a paper that will work with the pen. -
On Location with Water and Plein AirThursday, April 18
11:30 am on UEN-TV 9.1Kath explores how to stay focused with distractions, how to use the equipment outdoors, making adjustments as you sketch and how to pick and isolate a focal point while limiting time. -

Fix 'emTuesday, April 16
2:00 pm on UEN-TV 9.1When you don't feel like starting anything, grab 4 or 5 poor sketches and try to fix them. Use contrast, color, focal point. Great review: two may get better, while 3 get worse, but they weren't good anyway. Great review of the importance of the basics. -
Flowers OutdoorsThursday, April 11
11:30 am on UEN-TV 9.1When outdoors, you see bunches of flowers unless you focus on one. Kath demonstrates how to get the feeling of many flowers as they appear outdoors. -

Field EquipmentTuesday, April 9
2:00 pm on UEN-TV 9.1When you really want portability, keep everything compact instead of big, thick sketchbooks that are hard bound. You want to see it, sketch it and leave within 25 minutes or less. You do not want to attract other people who will distract you. Plan to never put anything down on a table or easel where you will attract people or lose equipment. -
Wet In WetThursday, April 4
11:30 am on UEN-TV 9.1If you love the sloshy looseness of some watercolor paintings, enjoy a lack of control, except where you want control. The colors that happen and the effects are delightful. -

Cobbled Still LifeTuesday, April 2
2:00 pm on UEN-TV 9.1Apples in a bowl are boring. In a room pick 3 or 4 items which are not together. Go to them and block them in on your paper, one in front of the other. You are building a composition of things from different places. Go back to each to finish the sketch. Use 5 extra minutes to find your items. Now you can take things out of context in a landscape.
