Je Voudrais Une Epinard Fetta et jambon Galette, SVP.

November 12, 2013 by Erin Hill Sketching

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. Run by four French hommes, who fell in love with Australia, and noticed a distinct lack of the mouth watering crepes and gallettes so much a part of real French cuisine. So they set up a Creperie […]

Je Prendrai un Verre de Vin Rouge s.v.p.

Our still life was a South Pacific beach theme, similar to last week’s Travel Sketch class setups. They’re up for this now.

May 27, 2013 by Erin Hill Sketching

So when we discovered this new one recently, we fell upon it and have been hard pressed to stay away. So today was a perfect fit for us. We’d start with sketching of course, so naturally the four […]

Double page Sketch Spread in French Living Magazine

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 […]
