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 […]

Sketch&Wine. Playing with paint

August 1, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

We had a great evening tonight with 8 people in total. This is such a great night for previous and current sketchers to get together and try out ideas and play. It started out being a ‘Flowers and Pots’ theme but ended up being  ‘Prawns & Vegetables’. Not a bother at all. We had flowers there anyway. The tutors were recently back from USK Singapore Symposium and full of ideas for messing about and getting different effects. Just what the […]

Sketching. Colour Texture & Hatching

November 29, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Monday Class. November 24 ’14 This is week 3 of 5 classes. Today’s we’d be playing with watercolour. Somet have had a couple of tries and some have never tried it. Well you’re in for some fun. Our NZ sketcher would be doing a similar exercise in wcolour pencils. This one for her in a day or two., and she found it fascinating to see the action. On the table we had some round smooth rocks. Thanks Judy. Looking at these […]

Sketching. Playing With Colour

November 22, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Monday Class. November 17 ’14. Another blue sky day. We’re getting these more now that summer is mostly here. Today the big tables were back and nothing setup on them. Nobody commented as being new sketchers they go with the flow. We were going to do some test patches in our sketchbooks and layer different watercolour pencils together, and see how differently they look when different ones go over another. This was also a chance to use the side of […]

Sketching From Above.

November 1, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Tuesday Class. October 28 2014. Hello, ‘It’s Christy here’, and we have an exciting class mapped out today for our 4th week into this term. We will be heading out on location a little earlier than usual, and so we start with a fast exercise in the studio. Everyone arrives pronto, and we observe what appears to be ‘tall boxes’ in the middle of the room. Yes, indeed, can’t you see they’re actually ‘a birds eye view of rooftops in […]

Sketching Our Final Cake Crumb.

October 31, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sketching our Cake & having it too. Tuesday October 28 ’14. We’ve been sketching and eating cake since 2011. 🎂 Every month then every two months. We’d work our way through the Scottish scones with a side of fresh raspberry jam with a dollop of clotted cream then perhaps a French chocolate bavois would find its way to our fine china plate and each and every mouthful was a sketch never to be forgotten. 🍰 Some of our sketchers had […]
