Welcome to ErinHill Sketch School ….Yes You CAN Sketch……..
‘One of the best things about learning to Travel Sketch is the pleasure you get from putting lines on paper, the fun people you learn with, and the amount of laughing you’ll do.’
Erin Hill Sketching is an international school which offers foundation to advanced classes in Australia, New Zealand, and the South of France.
Our passionate tutors are qualified in the EHS training system so you’ll have the same high quality experience in all our Courses, Workshops and Sketch Holidays wherever you are.
Build a life-changing sketching habit, and it’ll change your world.
As sketchers, you want to learn. You want to feel your artistic powers growing. You want to be part of a community that will inspire you to push through creative obstacles, pick you up when you’re in a rut and celebrate your breakthroughs.
That’s us. We show you how.
Drawing and sketching promotes incredibly positive outcomes and can work wonders on your well-being.
Together, we can sketch our way toward a happier, more creative world
INTRO TO TRAVEL SKETCHING COURSES (For Beginners)
We take you through the first steps in the Intro classes and build your skills to take you on. Can’t draw a straight line? Not even a stick figure? Your auntie has talent but you don’t ? You are perfect for our classes.
10 progressive weeks. Step by step. If you haven’t sketched with us before you’ll start here.
You’ll learn to sketch, use watercolours and several other mediums, all designed to fit in your page and be portable for traveling.

THE ESSENTIAL EHS SKETCH KIT Sketch Kit info
You will be learning watercolour, aquarelle, inks, gouache and many more surprising techniques, on a variety of paper.
We are guiding you to let go, loosen up and feel free.
Travel Sketching means we sketch rain or shine.
Bring a big umbrella if it looks like rain, a folding stool, and a sun hat if you feel the heat.
A reasonable level of fitness is important, and bring a fold up stool if you like.
WHAT MAKES ERINHILL SKETCHING DIFFERENT?
This is not an Art Class as you know it. We won’t be teaching you to paint a perfect painting! Or draw something exact and precise.
You’ll be sketching what you see on location, as you do when traveling, in the time you have. Your impression.
We will however teach you the foundation skills of how to see, to sketch an impression, and to use watercolours and other mediums to an advanced level.
Nothing matters but enjoying what you do.
