Week6.Term4. Looking for Eye Level

November 19, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

EHS SYDNEY WEEK 6 TERM 4 ’16 Week 6 and we are now seeing our own styles come shining through. You only have your own style as you know, so embrace it. Other influences may be there but there’s only one you. We’ve covered a big variety of subjects this week. New Sketchers were into eye level perspective, the very key to everything you’ll need to know when sketching urban landscapes. The concept is easy to grasp once we lead you through […]

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, […]

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 […]

Week9 Term3. People are just Shapes

September 17, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 9 Term 3. Sept 17 ’16 Wow this term has gone quickly. New Sketchers and General were all tackling ‘people’ this week. We’ve made big people shapes on rolls of paper, we’ve thrown paint and crayon over them, we’ve made montages of moving people.  We’ve sketched people in the Bavarian restaurant, on the Corso, at Manly Wharf, at the Manly Art Gallery. No one was safe. We loved every minute. By now everybody is feeling pretty confident about what they’ve achieved […]

Week8.Term3. Wheels & Spiral Sketching

September 10, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

EHS SYDNEY NEW SKETCHERS. As travel sketchers, we like to capture the essence of a place. The bicycle is an everyday mode of transport in many Asian and European cities, even our favourite Manly. Not always easy to sketch but this week we mastered the shapes pretty darn well to create sketches full of character. In Manly we we found a row of sunny coffee shops in Market Lane with plenty of colourful bikes chained up nearby to sketch. Some […]

General Intensive.Aug 21. Streets & People

August 25, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

General Intensive: ‘Street Scenes & People’ Manly pulled out all the stops and produced an absolute corker of a day for us to sketch happy crowds flowing out of the ferry terminal. Family groups walking along the esplanade, canoodling couples lying on the lawn, even a TV filming actors who were rather hopeless at kayaking-  we sketched them all! In the studio, we learnt a few tricks to ‘fudge’ a crowd and add the human element to sketches to help add atmosphere, […]

Week4.Term3. Fabric & Folds

August 13, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

New Sketchers. Always an exciting and eagerly anticipated week- Watercolours!   Finally new sketchers discovered for themselves the joy contained in that small travel set of jewel bright colours. In the studio, they wet down the paints, then experimented with water to paint ratio, painting colour swatches and labelling each one. They let colours run together to create happy accidents and documented their favourite combinations. This week was all about getting in touch with their inner child. After time in the […]
