New Sketchers Workshop. Dec4’16

December 9, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday December 4 ’16 Toni our tutor, had found some gorgeous red hibiscus growing nearby as our very first sketch of the day. On arrival people look at that rather blankly when we say ‘That will be our first sketch’ utterly disbelieving that the impossible is about to happen.

Colour on a Grey Day

December 11, 2009 by Erin Hill Sketching

Worth a visit. A lovely space but glad I always ask the best way to view several floors. This is the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. It was definitely a grey day and the rain about to begin, and boy, it was cooold. So looking for colour was on my mind. And colour I found. I adore colour and find it hard to see how other painters go for more more neutral palettes. one painter had spent his whole […]
