Adventure Class.The Secret Garden

February 24, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Thursday 23rd February Adventure Sketch to Lavender Bay. We met in the shade under the iconic Luna Park Face and immediately began sketching those massive eyebrows, teeth and lips. The more you study it, the creepier that face gets, more Batman Joker than Happy Go Lucky Clown we decided. Still fun to sketch. Only Robyn bucked the trend and faced the other direction, sketching the bridge, harbour and Opera House instead. At one stage I looked up and there was […]

Mind you for one ‘veggie sketcher’ this was only her second class, so you can see how quickly she’s picked this up. We used watercolour pencil and waterpen for colouring. Then down the hill to Roycroft Arcade for our ‘Out & About’ part […]

The Suits at Coffee

November 12, 2010 by Erin Hill Sketching

    Wellington New Zealand. Thursday Nov 4. 10am at Pravda. Just here for a few days to catch up with our gorgeous families – on both sides. AAAahhhh. But first on the agenda were Milton’s meetings. Good planning to drop him off at my coffee time, find a park ( you always can in Wellington) and head for one of my favourite cafes. Pravda on Customhouse Quay. At this point I should say that my little cousin used to […]
