Sunday Taste of Sketching Workshop

May 26, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday May 20th ’18 with Tammy Theme this month: Simple Architecture. Once everyone had settled and met each other, our first ‘warmup’ exercise was to observe some iron gates and sketch the colour and texture. A flat perspective of the oldest church in Manly was our next mission. It happens to be Market Day on Sundays, so being very flexible, we moved from our planned sketch spot , and took another view round the corner. Starting with a thumbnail sketch, […]

Saturday 7th April, 2018 Our big finale.  Classes were all over Sydney this week putting together all the skills they’ve learned over the term.

Week 8. Term 1. Bicycles & Federation Facades

March 24, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Saturday 24th March, 2018 Week 8 has been a very enjoyable week. For our Intro classes, it’s been ‘Sketching from Memory’! Can you remember what a bicycle looks like? Of course you can. Ok, sketch one from memory. Oh dear, it has 2 wheels, and a seat, umm, maybe handle bars and pedals. But something isn’t right! So let’s bring out our little model bike, and we have an aha moment. Such clever machines and we’ve never really observed how […]

Week4.Term1. First Watercolours & Co- Sketching

February 24, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Saturday February 24 ’18 Week 4 means first use of watercolours for our Introductory Sketchers. Having learned the colours and the layering system already, it now follows through with doing similar but with paint. Always an exciting day! You’re starting to feel like a ‘real’ artist now. For our more experienced sketchers we were looking at shape and form of people. But this would be very different. We’d be sketching who we saw, but sharing our sketchbooks around. When you […]
