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, […]

Week 6 Term 1. Mixed media, lines & stories

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 […]

Sketch&lunch-Malaysian

March 2, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

February was Malaysian Sketch&Lunch. We had a ball in Chinatown, Sydney. The Nasi Lemak at Ho Jiak (a relatively new Malaysian streetfood restaurant on Hay St) was absolutely delicious! The wagu beef rendang was to die for so was the the Char Kway Teow (a rice noodle dish with king prawns and the “breath of the wok”) We ate with relish whilst learning to sketch ellipses and capturing the cups of tea and coffee Malaysian style. Next we headed out […]

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 […]

Week10.Term3.Scones Sand & Sun

September 24, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 10 ended a quite amazing term 3. We’ve ramped it up and you have loved it. If it fits in a sketch book – anything goes! Our last week of term Is our ‘go somewhere different’ week. Take a ferry to the city or stretch out at a quiet beach spot. We did both. We also invited friends. Some very talented partners bravely attended the MCA cafe sketch and certainly showed they’d been listening to their sketch partners. Really […]

‘A Taste of Sketching’ Workshop. September 6th ’14.

September 6, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Yes more rain. Just for a moment though one sees blue skies and even some rays of sun. But none of this matters to we sketchers. You find a dry spot somewhere and carry on. We all meet upstairs at Nominom in Manly, actually a great place for amazing ice cream and yoghurts, though they do a good coffee and other food. And we love our ‘upstairs studio’ with views straight to the beach. Fabulous even in the rain. Once […]

Sketch-your-Cake High Tea at The Tea Cosy.

August 1, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

  SketchyourCake High Tea. Thursday July 31st. 2014. We’re so used to Tuesday being the afternoon of our sumptuous High Teas, that we had to keep reminding ourselves it would be Thursday this time. We’d chosen a little traditional Tea Shop called the Tea Cosy. It’s a family run business which is always nice, because you know they care. A change from the wide variety of larger venues we’ve been to over the years. That’s part of the fun of […]
