Week 8. Term 1. Bicycles & Federation Facades

March 24, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Saturday 24th March, 2018 Week 8 has been a very enjoyable week. For our Intro classes, it’s been ‘Sketching from Memory’! Can you remember what a bicycle looks like? Of course you can. Ok, sketch one from memory. Oh dear, it has 2 wheels, and a seat, umm, maybe handle bars and pedals. But something isn’t right! So let’s bring out our little model bike, and we have an aha moment. Such clever machines and we’ve never really observed how […]

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, […]

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.

Week 10 Term2. Sketchcrawl

July 2, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

A wonderful term 2 has just concluded and everyone has made huge progress along the way. People who had no idea they had a shred of creative ability are now hooked. For most though it’s just the sheer confidence that comes with having a go at any subject and feeling good about the outcome. We never worry about ‘getting it right’ as your sketch will be just as you see it. You cannot go wrong. No more worry or judging oneself. […]
