Holiday Sketching

January 12, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 10 ’18 What will the weather do today? That question is getting harder to answer. I used to be able to count on gorgeous days whenever we sketched, but lately someone isn’t playing by the rules. Well fine. We’ll get on with sketching and ignore what’s coming out of the sky. A couple of found items today became our sketches over coffee. I’d picked a delicate flannel flower on the track earlier, including the leaves, so we could […]

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 […]

Term4 Week8. Bicycles & Books

December 2, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

New Sketchers started by sketching a bicycle from memory! Something we’ve seen all our lives, but can’t remember how it looks without seeing one. Our observation skills were honed up once we saw the real thing. Lots of laughs over our memory sketches! General classes were back at harry Hartog Booksellers, one of our favourite locations to sketch. We were looking for vintage or crazy shop displays – and there were plenty. That’s a paper mache reindeer wearing red antlers, […]

Student Exhibition 2017

December 2, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

What a gorgeous evening we had at our favourite spot on North Head, gazing across the National Park towards Sydney town, as the sun went down. What a wonderful gathering too of students family and friends, all there to celebrate the work on display. Some of our very early students (2012) were in attendance, as were some who are in their first term. Such a variety of styles this year and so many different techniques and colour. A lot of […]

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 […]
