March 3, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 5. Saturday March 3 ’18 Another glorious sketching week once again.  By week 5 our Intro Sketchers are beginning to see what they can achieve.

First architectural sketch plus using watercolour and look at what a story you’re telling. Nature in many techniques was they way we went for our Travel Sketchers. I’ve had the pleasure of […]

Week 1 Term 1 ’18. Looking for Shape

February 3, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Our first week of term and back to sketching with a hiss and a roar. I’m sure everyone had a big lie down after their classes. Never has our right brain worked so hard, seeing past what we know and deconstructing our subjects into shapes. Intro classes studied how to make objects in nature into simple shapes. Then how to get that onto a page! Toss in some colour and……there it is. Laneways and alleyways was the subject for Travel […]

Sketching Fast People

October 22, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Our Tuscan Sketching Life

October 2, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday September 28 ’14 Another hot sunny day in Tuscany. How much of this can one take! Into the Studio by 9.30 and we’d be looking at eye level and perspective.  I have a simple little graph I get people to do into their books, which as we do it line by line helps to explain how to see where all lines go. We talk about that and people begin to get the idea of seeing the shapes and which […]

Continuing Journeys in Tuscany

September 24, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Monday September 22 ’14 The sun is up and rising high in the sky. We are having what we dreamed of here in Tuscany. Cobalt blue skies and Cad Yellow hot sun, with high hills, walled cities, pencil pines and rough red tiled roofs at funny angles. Sydney it ain’t. In the Studio we were continuing our ‘going away’ concept and would be doing a stack of oblong boxes at differing angles. Imagine you are looking out of a Tuscan […]
