Sketching Week 1. Term 4. Looking at Shape.

October 10, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

Off to a flying start for our first week of Term 4. We have 2 New Sketcher classes and both did extremely well as you will see from the sketches below.   We spend time on the foundation skills in the Studio when you begin, getting familiar with page planning, observing and first steps in colour. What you learn here is the core of our EH travel sketching program. We had a visitor this week. Tony McNeight from Auckland in New […]

Southern Highlands Getaway. Banksia Park.

March 12, 2015 by Erin Hill Sketching

Getaway to Banksia Park, Kangaroo Valley, Southern Highlands. March 8 – 10 ’15 What a great few days. Clear skies and everyone looking forward to plenty of sketching and time away from our other lives. Totally about ME. We caught up with some at Berkelouw Bookbarn just out of Berrima for a good coffee and slice of homemade fig and strawberry flan. You’d hardly expect to find a gracious property like this just off the main road but it’s a […]

Sketching Nature, First Week Term 4.

October 11, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Tuesday Class. October 7 2014. We’re excited and we’re back for term 4 together, and everyone is eager to get to class today. We’ve gotten ‘flowers’ to sketch in the studio today, and I was still arranging them when the early ones were arriving. We chatted happily about our breaks and shared our lovely sketching with others to see what we’d been up to. Absolutely delightful! We have a few new sketchers with us today too, and so with the wonderful […]

Under the Tuscan Sun.

September 21, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Thursday September 18th Another day which looked like rain but again was hot and blue. Into the Studio we went fro our warmup sketch.  I don’t say what it will be beforehand, but we would be doing perspective.  Lots of those skills are required when you start sketching the shapes of Tuscany. Chris our host and wonderful artist and art tutor was adding some vital pearls of wisdom to help our sketchers ‘see’.  We started right back at the basics. […]

First Days in Tuscany

September 19, 2014 by Erin Hill Sketching

Tuesday September 16 ’14  We met at breakfast after a good night’s sleep and ready for our journey to our farmhouse stay for the week.  Those who hadn’t sketched the Leeening Tower were keen to do so and we had the time.  Our pickup was midday. Apart from two who were off to purchases train tickets for later, the rest of us hot footed along the path we now knew, back to the tower.  Good, still leaning. Hadn’t fallen over […]
