Easter Sunday Sketch Meetup

April 20, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

  Easter Sunday Sketch meet up with Alissa from Melbourne. April 16 ’17 What a fabulous day we awoke to. For some reason Easter can be a wet damp 4 days – I do recall – trying to hide Easter eggs in soggy ground for the little girls! Seemed a regular event. But not this time. Bright clear sunny days and no humidity. The perfect weather in Sydney. Alissa was impressed. She’d packed lots of jackets and wet warm gear – […]

Week9 Term1. Windmills,Fruit,Bicycles & Beer

April 1, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 9 Term 1. 2017 Weather is on everyone’s mind this week. With dreadful storm damage in Queensland we are grateful our homes are safe here in NSW.  Some classes plodded and splashed their way to classes this week, and others had blue cloudless skies and heat! New Sketchers had the ‘bicycle’ test.  Start with a sketch of one from memory. Mmm not so easy. Two wheels and handle bars. Yes. Anything missing?  Then we bring out the model bicycle […]

Sunday Workshop. Colour & Collage

February 27, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday February 26 ’17 We had a wonderful creative day in the studio with the rain bucketing down outside. Three universal themes emerged, the love for family, travel and friends. These would then be the foundation for what would create. First we made textured backgrounds using stencils, scratching tools, gel medium, gesso, gouache and watercolour and added our personal elements on top such as photos, postage stamps, favourite quotes and fabric.Sometimes we added more layers for depth or just because […]

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 […]

New Sketchers Workshop. Dec4’16

December 9, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday December 4 ’16 Toni our tutor, had found some gorgeous red hibiscus growing nearby as our very first sketch of the day. On arrival people look at that rather blankly when we say ‘That will be our first sketch’ utterly disbelieving that the impossible is about to happen. That within an hour it will be on their sketchbook page. Viola who has sketched with us before was doing a refresher and impressed us by sharing her sketchbook, full of lovely […]

Week8 Term4. Christmas Trees Bicycles & Anatomy

December 3, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

EHS SYDNEY. Week 8 Term 4.  This week was time for a little anatomy for General classes. We were studying hands and feet. How do they really look? How do we sketch a simple version to complete our ‘people’ sketches? So by taking a darn good look at our own, we could make a composite of lots of angles. Feet are particularly intriguing when you sketch looking down. You may not have thought about those things on the end of […]

Week1.term4. Tone & Texture

October 15, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Back into our sketching for Term 4 and off to a great start too. New Sketchers, and we’re proud to say the biggest intake of new students we’ve had, all survived their first nervous footsteps into the Studio, quite uncertain that this may be be the biggest mistake ever. Until we begin those first vital steps. Ahh so I can relax now, they say to themselves. And everyone does. By the end of their very first class each one has […]

New Sketchers Workshop. Oct 2 ’16

October 3, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

We managed to score an utterly glorious day for our New Sketchers Sunday Workshop.  A group of very keen people arrived at the appointed time and after introducing ourselves, inspecting our new sketch kits it was time for tea and coffee. Everyone there said they were keen to learn to sketch while traveling rather than end up with a heap of camera images. In fact one of those attending was there because she’d met Therese one of our sketchers on a Scandinavian […]

Cabramatta. Food&Sketch Day Trip

September 29, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Wednesday September 28 ’16 When Anna, our Vietnam expert, master chef, sketcher and director on our Vietnam Sketch Holidays, suggested day sketching trips to foodie heavens – we thought about it for 10 seconds and said ‘Let’s do it .’ So to kick start this series four of us made an early start to be at the Cabramatta Freedom Plaza temple gate, and wait by the water buffalo. Public transport seemed the obvious transport solution. First the bus, then the train on platform 5, […]
