Easter Sunday Sketch Meetup

April 20, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

  Easter Sunday Sketch meet up with Alissa from Melbourne. April 16 ’17 What a fabulous day we awoke to. For some reason Easter can be a wet damp 4 days – I do recall – trying to hide Easter eggs in soggy ground for the little girls! Seemed a regular event. But not this time. Bright clear sunny days and no humidity. The perfect weather in Sydney. Alissa was impressed. She’d packed lots of jackets and wet warm gear – […]

March 29, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

SUNDAY MARCH 26 ’17 We started our day with Erin making tea and coffee for everyone. What a treat! She makes the beat lattes in town.

Adventure Sketching. Govt House & Botanical Gardens

March 25, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Thursday Adventure Class. March 23 ’17 Well no one could call we sketchers pessimists! With a 70% chance of rain and heavy grey skies we threaded our way into the city to meet at Government House. Our chances of exploring the gardens and sketching inside were dashed after the awful news from London, so we sketched the Gothic Revival architecture through the ornate wrought iron gates. Keeping it simple was easier said than done, so many turrets and arched windows and […]

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 […]

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.

Two convenient and portable ways to use colour. As with our carefree impressions we take the same approach with colour. Apply where […]

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 […]
