January 21, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Discovery Day. NorthHead Project. January 21 ’18. Erin Hill Sketchers   Our spot on the map – No 15 –  and the special sign on the dusty pathway said our sketchers would be at Cemetery No 3. The temperatures were due to reach 30C but luckily did not in fact. So finding shade meant we were comfortable. While folk were doing tours with the very knowledgeable volunteers, they could ask us about sketching and how we capture a moment quickly. […]

Sketch&Lunch-A Taste of India

July 13, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

On the last Monday of the month Erin Hill Sketching holds a Sketch&lunch day trip. June’s trip was “A taste of India”. We limit group size to 8, and that way we can access smaller out of the way and off the tourist beat, cultural delights. We met at the train station. Thats easy. Harris Park first, then later we headed to Wentworthville. For many of us, this in itself was an adventure! Then we proceeded to the most unlikely […]

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.

Sketching Week 7 Term 3. Beach & Beyond

August 29, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

We like to give you an easier class every now and then, so this was the week. For our New Sketchers in Week 2,  a little bit of House and Garden, learning how we use colour on both still life and outdoor subjects. White tops and sides. Dark down the centre. It works and it’s fast. For other classes it was Week 7.  This would be about sea sand and sky.  Obviously we would need blue skies and sun. So […]

Sketching Week 6. Term 3. Looking Uphill

August 22, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

A big week for all. New Sketchers have begun their Monday classes and with Toni’s guidance this week, on the first of the foundation skills – how to see.  Some excellent first sketches were produced as you will see. For our other classes this week it’s been very challenging but very rewarding. Oh no, uphill perspective! I can’t do that!  Oh yes you can and yes you did. It’s easy to be overcome by the enormity of the view or vista. […]

We’ve travelled from places far and wide to be here to sketch this week in the utterly gorgeous villages of Provence in France.

Sketching Week 7. Sketch your Art Materials

June 12, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 7 was about looking at your own art materials. A little more restful and contemplative  as a subject after some of the challenges we present on some weeks. Our location then was the very innovative Manly Art Gallery, a few steps away down the hill. Choosing a subject becomes – what appeals to you. You’ll see how wide the variety is and each captures that moment, that story. Great experience and gives you confidence to sketch in any of […]
