Sunday Workshop. The Art of Seeing

January 8, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

SUNDAY JANUARY 7 ’18 The weather report was for 35C. That sounds like a challenge for a group of students new to sketching. We are outside or plain-air folk. Into the studio I went good and early to get the cool air going. That made a difference and when our lovely people arrived the place was cool and welcoming. The Art of Seeing sums up what you’re about to learn. There in front of you is a 3d piece 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 […]

1 Day Intensive. Valentine’s Day.

February 14, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

A glorious sunny February day topped off by a huge Surfing Carnival made Manly “THE” destination of the day for hordes of folk today.  I remember to avoid the beachfront – phew. Our Intensive Workshop was a lovely way to spend Valentine’s Day and two lucky folk were given the workshop as a present from partners – beats a red rose any day in my books! We started with sketching hibiscus in the studio and learning how to see, how […]
