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 […]

Sydney.Summer Sketching. Weeds & Flowers

December 29, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

December 29 ’15.  We had been thinking ‘Flowers and Trees’ as our theme this week. But on the way to meet our happy sketchers, I decided to pick the flowers growing on the way. I can assure you none were ‘borrowed’ from peoples gardens – well maybe those curb side only. We had a Gardenia, a pink Grevillea, Frangipani, Banksia,( we think) Dandelions and Wandering Jew (well it’s called that) and some Bottlebrush pods. Double page vignettes was the plan. […]

Sketching Week 8. Fast People.

March 28, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

The beach and the sea was a common theme for all our classes this week. The Week 3 people were working with limited colour on their sailing ship, to get those lights, mids and darks. At the wharf end of Manly, the mission was to sketch foreground middle and far distance across the water. Sketches were completed at the Manly Wharf Hotel with something to eat and drink to help turn our sketches into something magic! A very impressive week for all in […]

Travel Sketching Week 1. Let’s get started.

February 7, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

New classes. New faces. New Sketch program. Welcome to some fun everybody. Whichever weekly class you’re in, we like to start with flowers trees and nature. A gentle easing in for new and regular sketchers. We are focussing on our foundation skills. Observation of shape, and observation of colour. In Ivanhoe Park we sketch a leafless gum – could well be green by the end of the week – tall and flowing. You learn to work quickly. First looking for it’s intrinsic shape. […]

More Tuscan Sketching Days

September 29, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Friday September 26 ’14 Today we would be starting on ‘people’ in the Studio. Chris gave a quick run through on our development drawings from early childhood and how we would now try our own grownup version of people. Hoping for a difference!  Visual measuring is our best way to get some sense of comparing one shape against another. Chris was the first model, and stood for 1 minute while everyone had a go at getting the body in some […]
