Monday November 11 ’13   What a rainy and windy day. The sort of day you’d usually decide to stay at home. But not for us.  it’s our last Sketch&French class this term, and we’re having it at 4 Frogs Creperie to celebrate.

December 11, 2012 by Erin Hill Sketching

This is soooooooooo exciting. Claire Chaffey the editor of French Living magazine had asked me for a few of my French sketches – to scatter through the magazine. This is a BIG scatter – right across 2 pages. Cést Magnifique.  I’ve had wonderful response to these sketches, so I’ve looked at doing a print series. Prints now available.  Merci beaucoup. The Summer issue is out. It’s not snowing here in Australia, but might be in France – which is the […]
