Sunday Workshop. People Faces and Figures

April 24, 2018 by ErinHill Sketching

Sunday April 22 ’18 A smaller group this time due to some last minute postponements, but great for those who attended. We’d be doing a lot of looking at shape, page planning and use of simple colour, with as few as 3 colours. One of our more experienced sketchers took the chance to refresh this particular class and was delighted with the results. All out sketchers let go and had that pen racing around the page making delicious shapes and […]

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.

Easter Sunday Sketch Meetup

April 20, 2017 by ErinHill 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 ErinHill 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 […]

Week5.Term1. Wheels & Shiny Things

March 4, 2017 by ErinHill Sketching

Week 5. Term 1. This was a week where unrelenting rain was promised every day- and it delivered. Admittedly there were breaks in the clouds and sunny periods did allow for quick sketching if we were lucky. But Toni and Kathy had very cleverly planned an indoor week for General Sketchers at the impressive Harley Davidson showroom. And it’s been a huge success. Our theme of thumbnails, light and heavy line work certainly translated well to motorcycles and all the […]

Sunday Workshop. Colour & Collage

February 27, 2017 by ErinHill 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 ErinHill 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 […]
