Week1 Term1 ’17. What Colour is Green? |

Week 1 Term 1 2017. Sat February 4.

We’ve hardly had time to lie down with a book under a tree lately! Isn’t that what we all dream about! Ah well. Later. Summer sketch classes are over and hopefully those awfully hot days.

We actually made a fascinating discovery in one of our Summer Sketching classes. One of our sketchers wears a Fitbit. She says she has high blood pressure. While we were sketching last week she checked it. The pulse was right down to normal. Always happens when I’m sketching she said. So not only do you learn a skill for life and make great friends but you might even live longer. Another great reason to join us.

Classes have begun this week and we welcome students in six New Sketcher classes. Such a fun day starting with getting to know your Sketch kit. Then committing to loose black lines and coming up with their first sketch. Don’t forget to breathe. You’ll see their sketches, but what you cannot see is their amazement!

We also welcome back our experienced Regular Sketchers looking for even more challenges and learnings. We will deliver!

We’re excited to be bringing EHS Travel Sketching in our simple structured and planned way to as many people as possible. In Sydney we have students in Mona Vale, The Rocks, Blue Mts and Manly. So many want to learn so it’s our mission to take it to as many folk as we can get to, wherever in the world they are.

This is your journey and we’ll teach you to sketch absolutely anything. I mean anything. We never want an EHS Student to back away from a challenge. Break it down to simple shapes. Have a go. Might just be the best sketch you’ve done and you’ll always remember the moment. Absolutely lovely work this week from each and every one. Learning about colour is vital and you’re all so keen to know more. This week we learned to think about the hundreds of colours which go into making what appears to be one colour. What colours would you layer to make differing greens, or reds or any other? That’s been our journey this week. Pre-mixing means mono colour. Layering brings life.
