Sunday Sketching. People made simple

March 29, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

SUNDAY MARCH 26 ’17 We started our day with Erin making tea and coffee for everyone. What a treat! She makes the beat lattes in town.

Week2. Term2. Discovering Simple Colour.

Trees were also a subject some […]

Learning to capture a still life, work to a time limit and use limited colour. The work produced is quite amazing. These are people who so afraid of making a ‘mistake’ a week or so back. and who are now confident enough to sketch what you see below. Your tutors are very […]

Sketching Week 7 Term 4. Colours in Nature

November 21, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

This week was about nature. Natural colours and textures. Studio warm ups are all about observing whatever has been set up and planning your page. Make sure you get everything in. That is your mission. Add some colour. Oh yes, whites tops and sides. Darks down the centre. Always. Out on location however you can choose what to put in or leave out. New sketchers did nature’s bounty observing intrinsic shapes and texture, and leaving white tops and sides for […]
