Term4 Week8. Bicycles & Books

December 2, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

New Sketchers started by sketching a bicycle from memory! Something we’ve seen all our lives, but can’t remember how it looks without seeing one. Our observation skills were honed up once we saw the real thing. Lots of laughs over our memory sketches! General classes were back at harry Hartog Booksellers, one of our favourite locations to sketch. We were looking for vintage or crazy shop displays – and there were plenty. That’s a paper mache reindeer wearing red antlers, […]

Sunday October 14 ’17 North End Boston There has been a lot of interest from people in various parts of the USA to somehow learn to sketch with ErinHill Sketching.

Ivo the gorgeous surfing, salsa loving boy from Brazil was waiting on us hand and foot. AAaaaahhh. Sue brought her oil crayons which […]

Week1.Term2. Hibiscus & Vespas

April 29, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

  This is Hibiscus week. That’s always our first sketch and an exciting week for New Sketchers. Every day there have been glorious blooms from Mona Vale, The Rocks to Manly. Blue Mts had single camélias. They don’t have the climate for sub tropical plants. For our General Sketchers this week it was Italy, vespas and gelato. Somehow with the lovely proportions of the step through little motorcycles we became very creative with our lines and colour. The sketches are […]
