Seashells, Waves & Surfers

March 2, 2013 by Erin Hill Sketching

It was all about the sea this week. We live next to it so we chose to sketch sea shells, surfers, beaches and boats. THURSDAY FEB 28 ’13 Sea shells are such glorious creations. When you study the fine details you can’t help but be amazed at their designs and shapes. We tried one sketch using just watercolour pencils, and a touch of waterbrush. Then for a second one, line and water-colour with a  bit of white chinagraph pencil scribbled […]

Big Surf at Manly

May 14, 2012 by Erin Hill Sketching

Well there I was sitting in the Studio deciding to gesso over 2 canvases I wasn’t happy with. Then a happy little voice piped up as someone walked in. My little friend Jo. Architect, Yoga Teacher & Sketcher. Just passing and saw the flag up so thought she’d pop in. Jo had been out sketching on a rare day to herself, so that’s all it took for me to decide to join her and go down to the seaside. Not with […]

Dee Why Surf

Monday Morning Surf

February 26, 2011 by Erin Hill Sketching

    It was a gorgeous day. Every few months I meet for coffee with the other members of the ‘Kneesup’ group. We met 5 years ago at a Rehab Hospital ( you spend a week there) after we’d all had knee replacements. Jill, John , Mary and Erin. There were a couple of others but now it’s just the hard core group and we love it. None of us would have crossed paths in our other lives but we […]

Tandem Surfing

Sketching at the Beach

November 26, 2010 by Erin Hill Sketching

    Now this was really something. As part of the Surfing Festival there was a tandem surfing event. So there we are down on the sand, and sure enough a girl is standing on a chaps shoulders, in a white tutu, while he surfs in. How’bout that. Can you see them there? Oh I forgot to put the white tutu on the girl, but you get the idea. The other couple were next to go, and there they are […]

Two Kombi Vans

Kombi Van Rally.

November 22, 2010 by Erin Hill Sketching

    Sketch Club was coming all the way to my patch – for the Kombi Rally and Surfing Carnival – at Manly this weekend. I usually like to be in the Studio on Saturdays, but this was too tempting. Not that I was sure drawing vehicles was really my bag, but the team would be, so I really had to. The crowds felt a bit like the Sculpture weekend ones, people absolutely everywhere., and hot. Luckily our organiser is […]
