Sunday Workshop. Sand Sea & Beach

January 29, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday January 28 ’18. A Taste of Sketching Workshop We had another rather hot and muggy Sydney day for our students to try their Travel Sketching wings. But it’s not long before everyone has met each other, had a drink and studied their sketch kit. We start with a bit of Erin’s philosophy about all this being for you and sketching what you observe in the time you have. We are trying to move away from the self judgement of […]

Holiday Sketching

January 6, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Wednesday January 3 ’18. This week instead of sky high temperatures, we had belting rain and gusty wind. But that doesn’t mean we are not sketching. Life still goes on you know. We had an inside table and warmed up with drinks before launching into cafe people sketching. A captive audience. Just what we wanted. Jo was already there, wearing her new A-Line dress from the fabulous ErinHill Studio collection. I’d not actually seen the real deal and we were […]

A Taste of Sketching. Sunday Dec 10

December 10, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

What a glorious Sydney Sunday we woke to. Eight enthusiast sketchers arrived at the Studio right on 10am, ready to meet each other and enjoy a tea or coffee. Most people have had little sketching experience and it’s something about the freedom of it, plus the ‘only pleasing yourself’ approach which appeals. We started with the lovely pink hibiscus and learning how to plan our page and observe the whole still life as shape and form. What great results from […]

Sketching the ErinHill way

July 9, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Thought you’d like a preview of some of the images in my next Bella Vista exhibition after next weekend. Saturday July 9 ’16. Term break We may be on term break but I see my passionate students are sketching just as much as ever, and posting and commenting on EHS Facebook. Thanks to those students who are behind this. You are saving the sanity of quite a few. But meanwhile your new tutor team are working on exciting plans for […]

Sunday Intensive. People Up Close & Personal

June 30, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday June 26 ’16 At our Sunday intensive on people “Up Close and Personal”, we began with each sketcher saying what they hoped to take away from the day’s workshop. We first learned to do profile sketches and proportions and worked through front-on and then the three-quarters view, all before lunch! Knowing the general rules helps us to push and pull proportions to fit the individual we’re studying. How long is the nose?, Where does the ear lobe attach?, Do […]

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 […]
