March 10, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

WEEK 6. SATURDAY MARCH 10 ’18 Another week and even more progress.  Intro Sketchers faced up to Eye Level Perspective. Usually a big mystery along with big groans.  It can evoke some worry especially for those who’ve never had it properly explained. But with our step by step guides, people do begin to see how it works. It’s a great feeling. Another notch in your belt! I can do it. Travel Sketchers were using lines and marks in many different […]

Sketching in Trausse this week

July 24, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Tuesday July 19 ’16.  This week Paul is becoming much more confident with his sketching and looking forward to more challenges. He’s been doing a lot of homework so is very motivated. Today we have Rose joining us, now that she’s had her first lesson in observation and colour, she’s keen to see how today will go. Our warmup sketch were the ripening grapes hanging low above our Studio table, and which you can bump your head on. We looked […]

Sketching Week3 Term1. Sea Sand & people

February 13, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

So what were we up to this week in Sketching? More enjoyment than you’ve ever had!! That’s because you are succeeding. New Sketchers were doing sailing and the sea. Learning to capture a still life, work to a time limit and use limited colour. The work produced is quite amazing. These are people who so afraid of making a ‘mistake’ a week or so back. and who are now confident enough to sketch what you see below. Your tutors are very […]

Sydney.Summer Sketching. Rain Rain Rain

January 5, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Tuesday Jan 5 ’16 The forecast was for rain so it was hardly a surprise that it did. Not that it was cold, just raindrops kept falling on our heads – till we hurried inside at Crinitis. A good group of us today and already settled wondering what we’d be doing. Rain of course. Usually we look for blue skies and sun regardless of what is actually happening. But there will be days when there’s very little blue around so that’s […]

Continuing Travels

October 5, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Barga to Pisa. September 30 ’14 Oh why does it have to be such an utterly magical day as I look through the shutters to the lilac hills in the distance. How can I leave you? The Sketchers are all pretty well packed and have time to enjoy the beautiful breakfasts Krysia prepares each morning.  She bakes fresh brown bread which is a favourite with our groups, particularly with the fruit jams or local honey. Off we go, so fare thee […]

More Under the Tuscan Sun

September 23, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Saturday September 20 ’14 Some even set their alarms to be out of the house by 8.15am!  We were going by train to Lucca, and we couldn’t be late.  Our yummy breakfast was taken a little earlier, but somehow we managed to all be ready, even remembering our sketching gear. The whistle of the train as it approaches the little country station and even those with various hip and knee replacements, pull themselves up those high steps onto the train. […]
