Sketching Holiday Vietnam

December 23, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

December 1 – December 14 2017 Oi Choi Oi! (Vietnamese for OMG) It’s been less than a week since my return and I’m working hard at losing the 2 kgs of Vietnamese noodles and condensed milk coffees I managed to sneak through customs around my midriff, before the Festive Season of Indulgence truely kicks in. What a wonderful introduction to travelling with sketchers, our trip to Hoi An was for me! We arrived as strangers and left as friends. In […]

Week1 Term1 ’17. What Colour is Green?

February 4, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 1 Term 1 2017. Sat February 4. We’ve hardly had time to lie down with a book under a tree lately!  Isn’t that what we all dream about! Ah well. Later.  Summer sketch classes are over and hopefully those awfully hot days. We actually made a fascinating discovery in one of our Summer Sketching classes. One of our sketchers wears a Fitbit. She says she has high blood pressure. While we were sketching last week she checked it. The […]

ErinHill Fiji Sketch Holiday. Sept ’15. The Other Days.

September 18, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 9 ’15 By now we’re all very settled in our bure/homes. Staying here forever we’ve decided. Gets tidied everyday by one of the ever smiling staff. Food on the table without any effort from us warm and relaxed environment and weather. And a group of people who are the best company. On top of all this- you get to play with sketching and colour all day. What more can you ask for. We love the start of the […]

Coconuts with everything. Last day at Daku Resort.

October 4, 2013 by Erin Hill Sketching

Friday Sept 20 Woke up at 5am today. I’m an early person. Birds are getting  out of their nests at the same time as me. And singing. With a nice cuppa tea I sit outside in the planters chair and watch Savusavu wake for almost the last time this week. Instead of yoga today its decided we need a class lesson in paint and colour. It’s easier to cover the core skills together like this than on location. We are […]

Copra Shed & Vivili Village Meke. Sketching at Daku Fiji.

October 3, 2013 by Erin Hill Sketching

Thursday Sept 19 I love hearing the sound of rain on a tin roof. Except when you have out & about sketching plans. Not that rain lasts long here in Fiji, so we can still go with Plan A and we can still have a yoga session. Some want to go snorkeling and others will come up to the Haman property, to sketch the Copra processing shed. We all go up to the main house to greet our hosts Arthur […]

Pearl Farm and Ganesh Festival. Daku Resort Fiji

October 2, 2013 by Erin Hill Sketching

Wednesday Sept 18. Can you believe it is slightly cloudy today. We skip yoga as we don’t like to be time pressured here, and need to be at JHunter Pearl depot very soon. There is a growing and successful young pearl business here in Fiji. The complete process is managed by professionally trained people and employs local as well. These are unique world wide because there are gorgeous luminous colours between the classic black and white pearls. The beds are […]

Yoga, Markets, Shopping at Daku Resort Fiji

September 30, 2013 by Erin Hill Sketching

Monday Sept 16 We are so lucky having this balmy warm weather, and very little rain. That seems to fall during the night if at all. Some sketchers are out walking at 6am and others are now keen to join in. We are also completing breakfast earlier which means we can start our yoga and be energized to begin our sketching day. Today Jan and Therese lead the session following Jo’s Travel Yoga sketches. All created just for us as […]

Let’s get Sketching. At home at Daku Resort

September 28, 2013 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday Sept 15 ’13 A cup of tea  on the balcony as the sun rises is a perfect start to the day. It’s not possible to be uptight in Fiji. You can try but it won’t happen. That’s a city thing. I’m not sure I’ll need my watch. Breakfast is a relaxed meeting time and everyone slowly appears. The choice of fresh fruit all grown locally looks beautiful and tastes even more so. Papaya grows all over Savusavu and we […]
