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 […]

January 29, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Wednesday January 24 ’18. Bella Vista with Kathy We are rather used to having our Holiday sketching at Bella Vista with just the locals and luckily for us this week, we could sit in the shade under the massive Morton Bay trees and sketch in a small breeze. Kathy had found the glorious gum flowers which look exactly like upside down ballet tutus. Kathy is so good with her ways to treat what’s in front of you in different ways […]

Sketch&Lunch-Vietnamese

November 3, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

This month our Sketch&Lunch was held in Cabramatta featuring Vietnamese food. It was a rare scorcher of a day, and things certainly heated up in the markets! I took our students to one of the older more authentic cafes for a Ca Phe Sua Da (Vietnamese iced coffee). Here we sketched Vietnamese herbs. We tasted , touched and smelt them first, then leant what the Vietnamese names were for them. Next we headed to Eastland Supermarket where my friend Thai […]
