Boston Sketch Workshop

October 16, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

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. So to at least get started I decided to do one short Workshop while in Boston on the Saturday before leaving for New York and Australia. The sketchers were all people who new the EH style and simple approach. Not drawing. Not illustrating. The quick impression is what we do. […]

April 8, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 10 Term 1. Saturday April 8 ’17 Tutors and students all agree. A great term just happened.  We’ve been at a variety of venues to complete the term and thoroughly enjoyed them all.

Adventure Sketching. Agar Steps and Millers Point

April 8, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

THURSDAY APRIL 6 ’17 Thursday provided warm sunshine for our sketch meander through The Rocks and Millers Point.. We met at the Splendid Cafe right at the base of the historic Agar steps built in 1892, a series of beautiful, cascading sandstone steps which link Kent Street to  Observatory Hill. There are quaint private residences all the way up. So much to sketch! We had to compete with hundreds of keep fit fanatics running up and down the steps and […]

Week9 Term1. Windmills,Fruit,Bicycles & Beer

April 1, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 9 Term 1. 2017 Weather is on everyone’s mind this week. With dreadful storm damage in Queensland we are grateful our homes are safe here in NSW.  Some classes plodded and splashed their way to classes this week, and others had blue cloudless skies and heat! New Sketchers had the ‘bicycle’ test.  Start with a sketch of one from memory. Mmm not so easy. Two wheels and handle bars. Yes. Anything missing?  Then we bring out the model bicycle […]

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 […]

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 […]
