Holiday Sketching

January 6, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Wednesday January 3 ’18. This week instead of sky high temperatures, we had belting rain and gusty wind. But that doesn’t mean we are not sketching. Life still goes on you know. We had an inside table and warmed up with drinks before launching into cafe people sketching. A captive audience. Just what we wanted. Jo was already there, wearing her new A-Line dress from the fabulous ErinHill Studio collection. I’d not actually seen the real deal and we were […]

Holiday Sketching

December 29, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

  There’s something nice about holidays and sketching. Yawn, Stretch, Sketch. Our Wednesdays at Bella Vista are very relaxed. Just turn up if you feel the mood coming on, and start with a great coffee or apple tart or mushrooms on toast, overlooking one of Sydney’s best Harbour views. The first Wednesday had a promised temperature of 35C, however outside under those massive Morton Bay figs, with a slight breeze, the temperature was 10C less. So lovely. This week people […]

Sketch&Dine. Sketch.Eat.Love

May 5, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Our first Sketch&Dine at SketchBar was a huge success. We all love food. We all love wine. We all love sketching. We all love socialising with like minded people. Here was the perfect combo. Leo was on the pans, effortlessly turning out gorgeous share dishes which we all fell upon first to sketch and then to eat. Ivo the gorgeous surfing, salsa loving boy from Brazil was waiting on us hand and foot. AAaaaahhh. Sue brought her oil crayons which […]

Easter Sunday Sketch Meetup

April 20, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

  Easter Sunday Sketch meet up with Alissa from Melbourne. April 16 ’17 What a fabulous day we awoke to. For some reason Easter can be a wet damp 4 days – I do recall – trying to hide Easter eggs in soggy ground for the little girls! Seemed a regular event. But not this time. Bright clear sunny days and no humidity. The perfect weather in Sydney. Alissa was impressed. She’d packed lots of jackets and wet warm gear – […]

Week7 Term1. People Shapes & Glass

March 18, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

MANLY CLASSES Week 7 and another big week. Big rain. Big sketching challenges. Big progress New Sketchers have just discovered that ‘People sketching’ is not as terrifying as they’d thought. Everything, even human formS are shapes. It’s just a matter of seeing them. And ‘see’ they did. We keep our exercises very quick. Get your book, eye and pen ready and go go go. Some classes tried ‘contour sketching’ – sketching your person without looking at the page. We loved […]

Summer Sketching Tuesday Jan 23 & Thursday Jan 25 ’17 Summer holidays are coming to a close.  Australia Day celebrations are just before everyone goes back to work, school, or whatever keeps them busy all year. We’ve enjoyed our Summer classes just trying out ideas and colour. Seeing what happens when we have a go at techniques. What has also been a delight is the number of students we haven’t seen in ages, coming along to enjoy the company and […]

Summer Sketching. Wax Crayons Paint & Pens

January 20, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Summer Sketching. Tues Jan 17 & Thursday Jan 19 ’17 This week was about tracing your lines and hardly leaving the page with your pen. Let it meander around the shapes you are seeing. Also a nice opportunity to try some interesting mediums. Kathy had water soluble wax crayons to play with. Add a little water, scape a little back. Pop some gel pen in there. Oh and what about some coloured gel pens. Add some scones and jam? It […]
