September 11, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

What a gorgeous week we had. Out and about, sketching bikes and for the general classes, sketching our days, learning new skills around journalling and telling a story with our sketches. Manly Tuesday General This week it’s all about travel vignettes. How to capture small snapshots of a place, small details that help describe what you see and experience. We talked about page layout and the impact of white space on the page. Lovely work, you’ve definitely told the Manly […]

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 […]

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 […]

Adventure Sketching. Govt House & Botanical Gardens

March 25, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Thursday Adventure Class. March 23 ’17 Well no one could call we sketchers pessimists! With a 70% chance of rain and heavy grey skies we threaded our way into the city to meet at Government House. Our chances of exploring the gardens and sketching inside were dashed after the awful news from London, so we sketched the Gothic Revival architecture through the ornate wrought iron gates. Keeping it simple was easier said than done, so many turrets and arched windows and […]

Week2 Term1. What is colour made of?

February 11, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 2 Term 1. February 11 ’17 Colour is made of millions of other colours. One can get very technical about light and pigments and things, but our job is to simplify your colour world. We play with layers of just a few and create a rich and lively effect over your sketch. All our classes wherever they are, are adapting the subject of the week to their location. Anna’s Blue Mountains class move from one village to another, just […]

Week1 Term1 ’17. What Colour is Green?

February 4, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 1 Term 1 2017. Sat February 4. We’ve hardly had time to lie down with a book under a tree lately!  Isn’t that what we all dream about! Ah well. Later.  Summer sketch classes are over and hopefully those awfully hot days. We actually made a fascinating discovery in one of our Summer Sketching classes. One of our sketchers wears a Fitbit. She says she has high blood pressure. While we were sketching last week she checked it. The […]

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 […]

EHS New Sketchers Tutor Training

January 13, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Part One. January 10 – January 13 ’17 Our tutors in training generally shadow classes for at least two terms. There is much to learn about teaching people to see the world in a new way. However this slow cooked but very successful way for new tutors to learn meant people from elsewhere were not able to be with us for so long. The 4 day jam packed Workshop between terms meant we could devote every minute learning the step by […]
