Kath Macaulay TPAP, SAWG
September 30–Oct 5, 2012
(Four Teaching Days)
New to Dillman’s
And when you’re accomplished, this becomes a meditation with your subject, (for the painter, a source from which to paint in the studio). Because of excellent art instruction by Opal Berry, her junior high art teacher, Kath has always been interested in art. In college she was disappointed in the art instruction: hence, has a BS in biology and has worked many years in medical research or medical marketing. Her major art instruction came from four masters, Robert N. Blair of Buffalo, NY, Carl Cogar of Las Cruces, NM, Nicholas Brigante of Los Angeles, CA, and Bon Wai Chen of Portland, OR.
Kath Macaulay has had numerous one man shows including one sponsored by the U. S. and Mexican governments with 56 paintings all from the western National Parks. She paints primarily en plein air (on location, outdoors), using oils or watercolor and has personally developed a painting technique, “pocket sketching”, which she teaches nationally. Her work is in collections through the U.S. and Canada. ARTIST’S STATEMENT Always inspired by nature, I find peace, excitement, solace, power, everything you can find in music, to be outdoors. I try to catch the emotional impact of the moment in my work. INSTRUCTOR’S STATEMENT My goal when teaching is to impart my technique to the class and to help each person realize they are really ‘getting it’ and they are far exceeding what they think they are capable of achieving. It’s all in seeing with a very open mind, experimenting, evaluating from outside your expectations (limitations). To me it’s totally exciting to help each person discover his/her ability, honest self evaluation and self reward, while learning a sketching technique to use anywhere for life. The object is to impart catching the vitality of the quick sketch instead of tight illustration: that initial impression is why the person wanted to record what they thought they saw. It is personal participation with the environment, which the camera cannot replicate! Teaching Pocket Sketching has been my delight and I expect to continue for years! Studio: Something for all levels. DOWNLOAD THE WORKSHOP SUPPLY LIST (PDF) A partial tuition scholarship is offered

Is getting started scary? Does carrying everything keep you from painting/sketching? Whether you're a raw beginner or a professional, Pocket Sketching is for you. The format is only 4" x 6" and can go anywhere. When you're working, everything fits in your 'personal space' and is portable. In a café, on the subway, on a horse, who's to notice but you? Whether you're journaling through Europe or sketching a 'designer dinner' in a restaurant, Pocket Sketching is the answer. In 25 minutes or less, you can capture what captivated your attention. Why do your trip photographs never look like what you remember? The camera can't have your one-of-a-kind reaction to what you saw: only you can express what you felt you saw.
