March 25, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sketching Week 8, Term 1. Saturday March 25 ’17 It doesn’t seem to matter which country in the world you talk to people in, they too have had big changes in weather. We changed our program once again to keep all our sketchers dry! A fancy shopping centre was our Studio this week. Warringah Mall in Sydney has been all flossied up and now a pretty smart place. Sketching shapes in an interior were our mission for General classes. So if you […]

Week2 Term1. What is colour made of?

February 11, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 2 Term 1. February 11 ’17 Colour is made of millions of other colours. One can get very technical about light and pigments and things, but our job is to simplify your colour world. We play with layers of just a few and create a rich and lively effect over your sketch. All our classes wherever they are, are adapting the subject of the week to their location. Anna’s Blue Mountains class move from one village to another, just […]

Summer Sketching. Hibiscus and beyond

January 5, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Tuesday Jan 3 ’17. Shelley Beach We hadn’t been sure what the weather would be like but luckily we could still do exactly what we’d planned. It stopped raining and brightened up. Little Manly Kiosk was an excellent place to begin our warm up sketch, which happened to be our good ol’ favourite – the red hibiscus. For those new to sketching it was a good way to give a few tips on how we look at our subject and […]

Let Them Eat Cake

December 19, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday December 18 ’16. Sketch your Cake Open Day. The doors opened early and Anna arrived with masses of boxes filled with – well we had to wait and see! Sue brought her beautiful cake plates and stands so we could carefully create displays with samples of all the cakes available. The yellow tablecloth from France was laid out and fitted perfectly across the white tables. Now we were looking good. Many orders were in those other boxes but we weren’t […]

Week9 Term4. Colour & Imagination

December 10, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

EHS SYDNEY. DEC 10 ’16 Another awesome week. It just gets better and better. When my tutors send each classes pics I marvel at how far our students have come. Not just New Sketchers but General Sketchers too. Travel Sketching is reaching new levels in our use of line and colour and imagination. We try anything.  No holds barred and the results are so so exciting. Our sketches are not clones of each other. Not all looking in one direction. Although […]

Greeting Cards. Girl’s Night In

November 19, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Girl’s Night In. Wednesday November 16 ’16 Card and gift card making is a favourite for our keen students and friends. Having a handmade card is such a rarity these days, but many still love to step away from the madness and mayhem of Christmas and make something. Bec was your host for the evening, and with her brought all sorts of fabric and bits and pieces. Students added their own treasures and before long a factory was in place. […]

Week5 Term4. Jacarandas & Different Perspectives

November 12, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

EHS SYDNEY Week 5 Term4 This week our New Sketchers were looking at ‘Flat Perspective’. This is our way of introducing architecture in the simplest way. By standing directly in front of your house or building you get to observe all the proportions and structure without being concerned about perspective. This is also an excellent way to capturé the charm and local character of architecture in whatever country you’re in. A house in Japan will not look like one in […]
