Sketch&Dine. Sketch.Eat.Love

May 5, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Our first Sketch&Dine at SketchBar was a huge success. We all love food. We all love wine. We all love sketching. We all love socialising with like minded people. Here was the perfect combo. Leo was on the pans, effortlessly turning out gorgeous share dishes which we all fell upon first to sketch and then to eat. Ivo the gorgeous surfing, salsa loving boy from Brazil was waiting on us hand and foot. AAaaaahhh. Sue brought her oil crayons which […]

Week7 Term1. People Shapes & Glass

March 18, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

MANLY CLASSES Week 7 and another big week. Big rain. Big sketching challenges. Big progress New Sketchers have just discovered that ‘People sketching’ is not as terrifying as they’d thought. Everything, even human formS are shapes. It’s just a matter of seeing them. And ‘see’ they did. We keep our exercises very quick. Get your book, eye and pen ready and go go go. Some classes tried ‘contour sketching’ – sketching your person without looking at the page. We loved […]

March 11, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

SYDNEY CLASSES WEEK 6 TERM 1 ’17 Week 6 Term 1. March 11’17 We were again planning well ahead for our locations this week, in case of rain. Actually we had less than last week but our venues were spot on. New Sketchers all managed to sketch eye level perspective on location without too many rain drops.

Sunday Workshop. Colour & Collage

February 27, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sunday February 26 ’17 We had a wonderful creative day in the studio with the rain bucketing down outside. Three universal themes emerged, the love for family, travel and friends. These would then be the foundation for what would create. First we made textured backgrounds using stencils, scratching tools, gel medium, gesso, gouache and watercolour and added our personal elements on top such as photos, postage stamps, favourite quotes and fabric.Sometimes we added more layers for depth or just because […]

Week4.Term1. Texture, Tone & Colour

February 25, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

  MANLY CLASSES. Saturday Feb 25 ’17 Week 4 and we’re all much more confident. We’re feeling more free with our lines and looser with our colour. For New Sketchers it was first time trying watercolour and something we all look forward to. We’ve learned the colours and layering in aquarelle so now we do it in paint. Two convenient and portable ways to use colour. As with our carefree impressions we take the same approach with colour. Apply where […]

Adventure Class.The Secret Garden

February 24, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Thursday 23rd February Adventure Sketch to Lavender Bay. We met in the shade under the iconic Luna Park Face and immediately began sketching those massive eyebrows, teeth and lips. The more you study it, the creepier that face gets, more Batman Joker than Happy Go Lucky Clown we decided. Still fun to sketch. Only Robyn bucked the trend and faced the other direction, sketching the bridge, harbour and Opera House instead. At one stage I looked up and there was […]
