Rhoda’s Sketching Fast & Loose Techniques
are so useful to:

  • Capture the essence of a subject
  • Develop strong observational skills
  • Remember travel and other important life memories
  • Use “down time” wisely: waits, cafes, airports, etc.
  • Integrate into other visual mediums (sketchnotes, graphic recording, graphic facilitation and other visual ways of working)
  • Get ‘in the zone’ and stress release!

Rhoda demonstrates techniques suitable for both beginners and intermediates who want to develop more confidence in drawing, as well as skilled artists who need to “loosen up” in order to work faster.

Students Say:

What a great experience it was to work with Rhoda for two three-hour sessions of fast paced drawing lessons! Not only is Rhoda a talented artist and sketcher, she is a gifted teacher. She has a unique way of breaking the art of drawing into bite sized understandable pieces, and encouraging students to practice new ways to take their drawing to new levels…all in fast and fun ways! After each timed exercise, she provides specific feedback…always emphasizing what worked well …as well as providing an idea or two about how the drawing could be further enhanced. As a beginner drawer, I was surprised at how much I learned in just a few hours, and delighted with how much fun I had along the way! The class was a highlight of my trip to San Miguel.
~ Judy M., Whidbey Island, WA

“Rhoda expertly leads you through an easy to follow step by step process of sketching, building on each lesson from the basics to complex scenes. A master at demonstrating techniques while sketching along with you, Rhoda provides guidance with professionalism and sensitivity. Her amazing energy, enthusiasm, eccentric personality and great sense of humor is a joy to be around. I highly recommend her workshop if you want to learn how to sketch fast and loose while having fun sketching on the streets of SMA.”

Your ability to keep us on track and yet able to enjoy one another was perfect. Your expertise, your patience, plus your enthusiasm and appreciation for the community you and I have chosen to call home, combined beautifully in assisting me in my sketching endeavors. Who wouldn’t want to be a Fast & Loose Woman of San Miguel! Gracias Chica!”
