Sunday Workshop. People Faces and Figures

April 24, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday April 22 ’18 A smaller group this time due to some last minute postponements, but great for those who attended. We’d be doing a lot of looking at shape, page planning and use of simple colour, with as few as 3 colours. One of our more experienced sketchers took the chance to refresh this particular class and was delighted with the results. All out sketchers let go and had that pen racing around the page making delicious shapes and […]

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 […]

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. […]

First Days in Tuscany

September 19, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Tuesday September 16 ’14  We met at breakfast after a good night’s sleep and ready for our journey to our farmhouse stay for the week.  Those who hadn’t sketched the Leeening Tower were keen to do so and we had the time.  Our pickup was midday. Apart from two who were off to purchases train tickets for later, the rest of us hot footed along the path we now knew, back to the tower.  Good, still leaning. Hadn’t fallen over […]
