1 Day Intensive. Valentine’s Day.

February 14, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

A glorious sunny February day topped off by a huge Surfing Carnival made Manly “THE” destination of the day for hordes of folk today.  I remember to avoid the beachfront – phew. Our Intensive Workshop was a lovely way to spend Valentine’s Day and two lucky folk were given the workshop as a present from partners – beats a red rose any day in my books! We started with sketching hibiscus in the studio and learning how to see, how […]

The Potter’s Cat

May 20, 2011 by Erin Hill Sketching

It’s been a good productive week in the Studio. A real flurry of action.Lots of painting going on. We’ve also squeezed in ‘The Archibald’ exhibition at AGNW and ‘Salon des Refuses’ at SH Ervin Gallery, The Bathers this morning – where we exhibit next year, plus some great teas and coffees. Glenys has been working with me while she’s here and already has this one – ‘Le chat de Potiers’ –  complete, and another virtually done. We still have a few […]

Milo the Cat at Eiffel Tower

August 25, 2010 by Erin Hill Sketching

This is the real Milo the Cat in Paris. I have now completed 8 drawings of him on his Paris adventures. All of which took place while the person he owns was absent. However she has now discovered what he’s been up to and has forgiven him. I did take good care of him while I created the series and he now has many fans who are following his hi-jinks. He seems more than happy to view the world from […]

Milo the Cat in Paris – The Sketches

July 28, 2010 by Erin Hill Sketching

These are the sketches of Milo in different positions. I have a few photos taken the day we visited his loft apartment in Paris so that was of great help. He is quite a ‘grand chat’ so I’m trying to show his true proportions! These are the sketches shown in the 8 ‘Milo the Cat in Paris’ series. Come join us in Paris on our Travel Sketching week, and learn to create your own sketch journal of  special places and […]

Milo the Cat at Monet’s Garden

June 25, 2010 by Erin Hill Sketching

Milo likes to get about. I realised he must have followed us onto the train to Vernon, then got himself to Monet’s Garden on the bus that takes you to the village. He must have loved the peace and quiet of no other visitors, when we painters were there by special arrangement. We had just one hour so I wouldn’t have noticed a thing except my pad and pen working at lightening speed. The feeling was pure joy to be […]

Milo the Cat in his Paris Apartment

June 12, 2010 by Erin Hill Sketching

I have shown this before, but not with the most important element – Milo the cat. It was during the night that I suddenly realised he should be there, since we’d been to feed him while his owner was away. Now this is one of those superb rooftop apartments which was once relegated to the housemaid, but which are now so sought after. Only certain cats and people can have this lifestyle. Firstly you have to remember where all the […]
