Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. Sketching & Giving.

May 31, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

THURSDAY 10AM & 11.30AM CLASSES. MAY 29TH 2014. This week we were sketching to raise funds for Cancer Council’s ‘Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea’ I’d received the promotional material in the mail before leaving for overseas, and had put it  into our term schedule, so that I could be part of it on my return. Everyone would place a donation in the box provided and we’d be doing something for research as well as enjoying some sketching together.   We’d thought […]

Sketching Vietnamese Street Food

May 24, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

THURSDAY 10AM CLASS. MAY 22 2014. Well we decided to go a bit tropical this week (dreaming of holidays in South-East Asia) so I delved into the kitchen cupboards and Voila! A veritable assortment of fruit and veg and spices ready to make a stir fry – yum! Before the class I went to my lemongrass bush and picked a few stalks and they are so fragrant it’s just delicious, they filled my car with their aroma ( better than […]

Start With Your Eye Level

March 1, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

THURSDAY FEB 27 10am class Week 4 begins. We didn’t believe it was going to rain. Reports for days said it would. I like to look at the sky and clouds and work it out myself. It might matter a teeny bit if we got rain because we’re doing perspective from a high pathway, looking down over rooftops and beyond. But of course we would first start in the Studio  with our warm sketches of Frenchboxes and building blocks. We talked […]

Valentine Sketching

February 15, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

THURSDAY 10am Class FEBRUARY 13 2014 It’s Valentine’s Day Eve. I saw this scribbled on one of the Students sketchbooks. I like it. We started our class today with a Travel Sketch talk from Tom. He and his very patient wife Pat have travelled through China and Mongolia and by train across Russia. Tom did as much sketching as time (or Pat ) would allow. “We’ll miss the train!’  From his books we could see where he’d been and the […]

Sketch your Cake at Hyatt on The Rocks

August 28, 2013 by Erin Hill Sketching

Well it was a beautiful day in Sydney, and we all felt a little like rather posh tourists taking in our High Tea at the Park Hyatt. Both Christy and I ( being Vivianne )were there so you got two tutors for the price of one! With a stunning view of the harbour and The Rocks, we all took our seats at a long marble table.  Smartly dressed and very polite staff brought out beautifully shaped plate stands filled with […]
