March 10, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

WEEK 6. SATURDAY MARCH 10 ’18 Another week and even more progress.  Intro Sketchers faced up to Eye Level Perspective. Usually a big mystery along with big groans.  It can evoke some worry especially for those who’ve never had it properly explained. But with our step by step guides, people do begin to see how it works. It’s a great feeling. Another notch in your belt! I can do it. Travel Sketchers were using lines and marks in many different […]

Sunday Workshop. Colour & Collage

February 27, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday February 26 ’17 We had a wonderful creative day in the studio with the rain bucketing down outside. Three universal themes emerged, the love for family, travel and friends. These would then be the foundation for what would create. First we made textured backgrounds using stencils, scratching tools, gel medium, gesso, gouache and watercolour and added our personal elements on top such as photos, postage stamps, favourite quotes and fabric.Sometimes we added more layers for depth or just because […]

Summer Sketching. Wax Crayons Paint & Pens

January 20, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Summer Sketching. Tues Jan 17 & Thursday Jan 19 ’17 This week was about tracing your lines and hardly leaving the page with your pen. Let it meander around the shapes you are seeing. Also a nice opportunity to try some interesting mediums. Kathy had water soluble wax crayons to play with. Add a little water, scape a little back. Pop some gel pen in there. Oh and what about some coloured gel pens. Add some scones and jam? It […]

January 13, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Summer Sketching. Tuesday Jan 10, Thursday January 12 Somehow when temperatures rose to over 38 degrees this week, our Summer Sketchers carried on and produced some magnificent work.

Kathy was our tutor this week and had people using continuous line as beautiful leave forms with exotic […]

Summer Sketching. Hibiscus and beyond

January 5, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Tuesday Jan 3 ’17. Shelley Beach We hadn’t been sure what the weather would be like but luckily we could still do exactly what we’d planned. It stopped raining and brightened up. Little Manly Kiosk was an excellent place to begin our warm up sketch, which happened to be our good ol’ favourite – the red hibiscus. For those new to sketching it was a good way to give a few tips on how we look at our subject and […]
