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. Such progress in such a short time and it’s very exciting for we tutors too. We’re loving the perspectives we’re seeing from you. 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 […]

Sketch&lunch-Malaysian

March 2, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

February was Malaysian Sketch&Lunch. We had a ball in Chinatown, Sydney. The Nasi Lemak at Ho Jiak (a relatively new Malaysian streetfood restaurant on Hay St) was absolutely delicious! The wagu beef rendang was to die for so was the the Char Kway Teow (a rice noodle dish with king prawns and the “breath of the wok”) We ate with relish whilst learning to sketch ellipses and capturing the cups of tea and coffee Malaysian style. Next we headed out […]

Sunday Workshop. Sketching & Simple Colour

February 18, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday February 18 ’18 Another glorious Sydney day. How do we cope! coming along to one of very enjoyable ‘Taste of Sketching’ Workshops helps a lot. Once we get started with observing our subject, we’re quite unaware of what might be happening out there in the world!  We’re very busy observing only what’s in front of us. Sketching is one of these wonderful moments in time where you are completely immersed in playing with line and colour. Totally in the […]

Sketching Week 10. Classical Architecture

April 18, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

A beautiful week at Balmoral Beach for all our classes completing week 10. We scored fine weather each time and shared our sketching space on the island with a couple of resident bunnies. Now at last you can see everybody’s sketches together. The results are truly inspiring from every student. You’ve all done incredibly well with quite complex subjects. We covered rounds and ellipses, perspective and composition and – where do you want your eye to go in your sketch? […]

Summer Sketching at Bella Vista Cafe

January 7, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 7. Jan 27 ’15 So we finally had a wet day. And on our 7th and final Summer Sketching session at Bella Vista Cafe, our other studio!  However sketchers are a dedicated group of people, and came from far and wide to be here. Actually one regular is from Greece. The staff are always so accommodating when we pull tables around – noisily – and then as sketchers arrive, we add another table. Most people in the cafe are quite […]
