A Sketching Week in France

August 7, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

August 1 – 6 ’16. Trausse Minervois Bibs and Gordon had been to Trausse four years ago.  But now there a new reason to return. Sketching. I’d had several emails from Bibs in Canada, and who’d studied many kinds of art over the years. But she’d seen what we do in Travel Sketching, and discovered I’d be here in France for a few months.  That’s what she wanted to do. Learn to Travel Sketch. So bookings were made for 28 Rue des […]

Week3.Term3. Mixing Mediums

August 6, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

EHS Sydney General Sketching Music…Fabulous work this week. Everyone found something they were happy to sketch, the drum, pan flute, the guitar, music stand and cornet.  Mixing media is what we’re doing lots of. So there was paint, charcoal, water brushes, ink and bamboo pens. We love what you’ve done with lovely old music sheets as paper and the sketches in your books. So much character and so much expression in your line and use of colour. And now we know […]

Week2.Term3. Christmas in July

July 30, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

NEW SKETCHERS: Kathy:   It was an enthusiastic group who were keen to see what we had on the agenda for today.  It’s always a secret. Shhh. You never know what you’ll sketch, just like any day. You sketch whatever is around you from where you happen to be. Wow look at the fruit, smell the aroma!  On the table were apples and citrus fruits. Let’s look at leaving whites top and sides and colour down centre. Then your sketch has […]

Sketching in Trausse this week

July 24, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Tuesday July 19 ’16.  This week Paul is becoming much more confident with his sketching and looking forward to more challenges. He’s been doing a lot of homework so is very motivated. Today we have Rose joining us, now that she’s had her first lesson in observation and colour, she’s keen to see how today will go. Our warmup sketch were the ripening grapes hanging low above our Studio table, and which you can bump your head on. We looked […]

Week1.Term3. Back Together

July 23, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

From Erin:  Back into action. With all pens and brushes flying. So exciting.  Ok let me settle down. Whew. Such great sketches came down the airwaves to me this week, here in Barcelona. New Sketchers did remarkably well with their first observations and use of colour. Well done.  General Sketchers are letting go with their colour. Loved the old coffee grinder and accessories the tutors had setup for you.  My word there’s a lot of action going on there. Terrific.  Take […]

French Sketch Classes this Week

July 19, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

July 12 and July 17 ’16 Carolyn leaves our village later in the week so this was a fast tracked journey directly from wc pencil straight to watercolours To warmup we started with a sketch of the candelabra still on the table from last night. Then in our first watercolour attempt we threw on some chinagraph to keep white tops and sides then chose some colours we thought worked well. Paint goes into the palette lid and is diluted or […]
