Week6.Term4. Looking for Eye Level

November 19, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

EHS SYDNEY WEEK 6 TERM 4 ’16 Week 6 and we are now seeing our own styles come shining through. You only have your own style as you know, so embrace it. Other influences may be there but there’s only one you. We’ve covered a big variety of subjects this week. New Sketchers were into eye level perspective, the very key to everything you’ll need to know when sketching urban landscapes. The concept is easy to grasp once we lead you through […]

Greeting Cards. Girl’s Night In

November 19, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Girl’s Night In. Wednesday November 16 ’16 Card and gift card making is a favourite for our keen students and friends. Having a handmade card is such a rarity these days, but many still love to step away from the madness and mayhem of Christmas and make something. Bec was your host for the evening, and with her brought all sorts of fabric and bits and pieces. Students added their own treasures and before long a factory was in place. […]

Week5 Term4. Jacarandas & Different Perspectives

November 12, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

EHS SYDNEY Week 5 Term4 This week our New Sketchers were looking at ‘Flat Perspective’. This is our way of introducing architecture in the simplest way. By standing directly in front of your house or building you get to observe all the proportions and structure without being concerned about perspective. This is also an excellent way to capturé the charm and local character of architecture in whatever country you’re in. A house in Japan will not look like one in […]

Melbourne Workshop.

November 11, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Melbourne Workshop, Pegasus Hotel, Sunday November 6 ’16 This was a really interesting and keen group of sketchers. Jeanette and I had decided we’d host a Workshop for people who’d been with us on Sketch Holidays or previous Workshops, students from the Melbourne EHS and dear sketching friends Alissa Duke and Kate Stedman our Melbourne based Travel Sketch Holiday organiser and passionate sketcher. We’d asked people what they’d like to try today, and the choices were buildings and people. We had a […]

Week4Term4. Car Washing, Rocks & Trees

November 4, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

EHS Sydney. Week4  Term4 November 5 ’16 General Sketchers this week have been sketching at the Star Carwash. Not for us pretty beaches and vistas. Nope. We like getting on the rubber gloves, grabbing the bucket and getting stuck into sketching. What a hilarious time everyone had. Who’d have thought cleaning cars could be be so much fun. And the sketches show it. Some look as though they’ve been through the wash as well!! Our city class concentrated on sketching with paint and […]

Week3.Term4. Colour Washes & People

October 29, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

EHS Sydney October 29 ’16 Both New and General classes stepped up again this week, only our third week. To be starting watercolours when you’ve never used them before is very exciting. But as you began to discover this week, I’ve developed a very simple way to use them. No need to match what you see and struggle to make a colour. We teach you to layer your colours one over the other and keep the impression fresh. You’re loving […]

Week2 Term4. Sketching Watercolours

October 22, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

  EHS Sydney. Week 2 Term 4. October ’16 For our 2nd week students were learning much about whites and darks and colour . Where to leave lights. Where to focus darks. Sea and sky using playful colour. What colours make other colours. All part of observing. New Sketchers we’re looking at round objects and learning about keeping ‘whites’. It’s free. Why colour it all in! Some very beautiful results here followed by a little nature walk.  Trees. We showed how to […]

Girls Night In. The Illustrated Recipe

October 20, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Girls Night in – Oct 19 ’16 Illustrated Recipes is always a popular night for the sketcher girls. Most of them are excellent cooks and chefs so they know their food and what goes in it. We did quite a few quick shortcut sketches of tricky ingredients on the board to find the simplest ways. It’s important to plan out your recipe well before beginning the real deal. Each recipe was quite different and lots of laughs and discussions took place […]

Week1.term4. Tone & Texture

October 15, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Back into our sketching for Term 4 and off to a great start too. New Sketchers, and we’re proud to say the biggest intake of new students we’ve had, all survived their first nervous footsteps into the Studio, quite uncertain that this may be be the biggest mistake ever. Until we begin those first vital steps. Ahh so I can relax now, they say to themselves. And everyone does. By the end of their very first class each one has […]
