Term4 Week8. Bicycles & Books

December 2, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

New Sketchers started by sketching a bicycle from memory! Something we’ve seen all our lives, but can’t remember how it looks without seeing one. Our observation skills were honed up once we saw the real thing. Lots of laughs over our memory sketches! General classes were back at harry Hartog Booksellers, one of our favourite locations to sketch. We were looking for vintage or crazy shop displays – and there were plenty. That’s a paper mache reindeer wearing red antlers, […]

Adventure Class. The ‘Paper Bag’ building

March 11, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Adventure Thursday. March 9 ’17 We met at the Devonshire Tunnel at Central Station and walked the pedestrian friendly Goods Line to UTS Business School. What an amazing building. We were incredulous that such a building ever made it off the paper it was drawn on! The discussions between architect Gehry and the vast number of artisans and builders involved in the project must have been epic. It boggles the mind how every twist and turn and crumple and fold […]

The Book that Started it all

March 30, 2013 by Erin Hill Sketching

My Mother was a great reader. In fact both my parents were. Every Saturday morning we’d get into the Austin and be driven to the local library. All of us would come home with a pile of books, plus Mum would get the latest magazines such as Home & Garden, Vogue and Dad would have Saturday Evening Post with Norman Rockwell on every cover and my brother would get Popular Mechanics. We loved it. Apart from alI the Enid Blyton […]
