Comment fait-on pour aller á l’aéroport?

September 1, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Sketch&French 9.30am Monday September 1 ’14. Not a spot of rain to be seen. In fact a lovely bright and clear Spring morning Just a small class with another of our S&F being unwell. So today we would learn about getting around and asking the way.

Sunset Sketching. China, Mannequins and The Artichoke

November 22, 2013 by Erin Hill Sketching

After a 3 week break we had an excited group of sketchers along to tonight’s Sunset sketching class.

November 16, 2013 by Erin Hill Sketching

It will be a good day. Christy and I are guiding our class today in observing the mannequins which are our sketching setups this week. There’s a single one and an action pair. It’s very pleasing the way everyone gets stuck in. People […]

Thursday 9 & Friday10 August Sketch Classes

August 10, 2012 by Erin Hill Sketching

Today we started with the human form – the little wooden mannequins. They are a very simple way of seeing the proportions of the body. If you are out and about sketching, it’s going to be hard to avoid people getting in your way – so might as well get the form into your head and get them into your sketches. If you can’t beat them join them. Some of our students love to get a person sitting somewhere, and […]
