Sketch&Dine. Sketch.Eat.Love

May 5, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Our first Sketch&Dine at SketchBar was a huge success. We all love food. We all love wine. We all love sketching. We all love socialising with like minded people. Here was the perfect combo. Leo was on the pans, effortlessly turning out gorgeous share dishes which we all fell upon first to sketch and then to eat. 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 […]

Sunday Sketching. People made simple

March 29, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

SUNDAY MARCH 26 ’17 We started our day with Erin making tea and coffee for everyone. What a treat! She makes the beat lattes in town. After friendly introductions and some good humour and  laughter, we were ready to get down to work and do what we all came for. Learn how to sketch people. Erin started us off by introducing us all to the wooden mannequin models, named Manni, Kin and Nins.  We were ready to sketch! First we learnt […]

Week8. Term1. Shape in an Urban Environment and Fruit

March 25, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sketching Week 8, Term 1. Saturday March 25 ’17 It doesn’t seem to matter which country in the world you talk to people in, they too have had big changes in weather. We changed our program once again to keep all our sketchers dry! A fancy shopping centre was our Studio this week. Warringah Mall in Sydney has been all flossied up and now a pretty smart place. Sketching shapes in an interior were our mission for General classes. So if you […]

Week7 Term1. People Shapes & Glass

March 18, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

MANLY CLASSES Week 7 and another big week. Big rain. Big sketching challenges. Big progress New Sketchers have just discovered that ‘People sketching’ is not as terrifying as they’d thought. Everything, even human formS are shapes. It’s just a matter of seeing them. And ‘see’ they did. We keep our exercises very quick. Get your book, eye and pen ready and go go go. Some classes tried ‘contour sketching’ – sketching your person without looking at the page. We loved […]

Sketch&Wine. Fast & Loose Faces

March 11, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sketch&Wine. Wednesday March 8 ’17 Our sketch and wine on Wednesday night began with all of us attempting portraits of each other using sticks and coloured ink. We went over the basic measurements for sketching the human face in profile and front on. Why? Because once we know the basics we are better able to judge how our subject’s features should be sketched. Is the face longer, thinner than normal? Is the mouth wider? The chin pointier? Hopefully, the exercises in […]

Week4.Term1. Texture, Tone & Colour

February 25, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

  MANLY CLASSES. Saturday Feb 25 ’17 Week 4 and we’re all much more confident. We’re feeling more free with our lines and looser with our colour. For New Sketchers it was first time trying watercolour and something we all look forward to. We’ve learned the colours and layering in aquarelle so now we do it in paint. Two convenient and portable ways to use colour. As with our carefree impressions we take the same approach with colour. Apply where […]

Adventure Class.The Secret Garden

February 24, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Thursday 23rd February Adventure Sketch to Lavender Bay. We met in the shade under the iconic Luna Park Face and immediately began sketching those massive eyebrows, teeth and lips. The more you study it, the creepier that face gets, more Batman Joker than Happy Go Lucky Clown we decided. Still fun to sketch. Only Robyn bucked the trend and faced the other direction, sketching the bridge, harbour and Opera House instead. At one stage I looked up and there was […]
