Week3 Term1. Gestural Lines. White Tops.

February 18, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

SKETCHING THIS WEEK. FEBRUARY 14 – 18 ’17 Every now and then I feel it’s good to express our EHS philosophy. We sketch entirely for ourselves and to totally immerse ourselves in the moment. We really don’t mind if others like what we do or not. Really isn’t important. We don’t even mind what’s going on ‘out there’ because we’re busy sketching. Our sketching time is us being in the ‘Now’ – our own ‘mindfulness’ – words mentioned a lot these […]

Week7 Term4. Traditional buildings & People Action

November 26, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Our classes offer such diversity these days. With day, evening, mid morning classes for both New and General Sketchers, the subject of the week may be set, but it’s how each class goes about it that creates such interest when you see all of the work together. You’ll see sketches of complex Federation architecture alongside early Australian cottage styles. We sketched montages of figure forms in action followed by people sketching in cafes. For our evening class it was sketching by […]

Week6.Term4. Looking for Eye Level

November 19, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

EHS SYDNEY WEEK 6 TERM 4 ’16 Week 6 and we are now seeing our own styles come shining through. You only have your own style as you know, so embrace it. Other influences may be there but there’s only one you. We’ve covered a big variety of subjects this week. New Sketchers were into eye level perspective, the very key to everything you’ll need to know when sketching urban landscapes. The concept is easy to grasp once we lead you through […]

New Sketchers Workshop. Oct 2 ’16

October 3, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

We managed to score an utterly glorious day for our New Sketchers Sunday Workshop.  A group of very keen people arrived at the appointed time and after introducing ourselves, inspecting our new sketch kits it was time for tea and coffee. Everyone there said they were keen to learn to sketch while traveling rather than end up with a heap of camera images. In fact one of those attending was there because she’d met Therese one of our sketchers on a Scandinavian […]

Sketching Week 8 Term 1.Bikes & Texture

March 19, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 8 and everybody is a pretty capable Travel Sketcher by now. New Sketchers –  we were testing our long term observation skills. Something you’ve looked at all your life. Prolly even owned one. Yep. The bicycle. Now sketch one from memory. Gulp. Two wheels. Something across the top. Handle bars. A seat. Umm. Can’t think.  Now bring out the model bike and sketch that. The missing links suddenly make sense. Oh yes. Look at all the bits that hold […]

Sketching. Colour Texture & Hatching

November 29, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Monday Class. November 24 ’14 This is week 3 of 5 classes. Today’s we’d be playing with watercolour. Somet have had a couple of tries and some have never tried it. Well you’re in for some fun. Our NZ sketcher would be doing a similar exercise in wcolour pencils. This one for her in a day or two., and she found it fascinating to see the action. On the table we had some round smooth rocks. Thanks Judy. Looking at these […]

Sketching Fast People

October 22, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Tuesday Class. October 21 ’14 Hello’ it’s Christy here. Today Toni and I have the pleasure of Karen helping us with our large group, and also taking us through a fun exercise she and others had recently done on their sketching trip in Tuscany. Our large group arrive and very interested to see the chairs have been arranged in a large circle. The idea is that we’re going to be sketching ‘fast people’ sketches today. Very fast to be honest, […]
