Week4.Term1. First Watercolours & Co- Sketching

February 24, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Saturday February 24 ’18 Week 4 means first use of watercolours for our Introductory Sketchers. Having learned the colours and the layering system already, it now follows through with doing similar but with paint. Always an exciting day! You’re starting to feel like a ‘real’ artist now. For our more experienced sketchers we were looking at shape and form of people. But this would be very different. We’d be sketching who we saw, but sharing our sketchbooks around. When you […]

Tutors in Training take their First Class

January 19, 2018 by Erin Hill Sketching

Friday January 19 ’18 At the end of week 1 of our Tutor Training, our trainees get the chance to try out their new skills. Today we would descend on Bella Vista Cafe early enough to beat the lunchtime crowds, which we did, on a most glorious Sydney day. Each had a table away from the others, and a group of two or three volunteer guests happy to try their hand at Travel Sketching over the next hour and half. […]

You Are Invited…

November 22, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Yes, our 2017 Student Exhibition is on again. If you are interested in learning to sketch, you’ll be inspired. Most of our students came to us without any previous art ability – or so they believed. Look what they’ve achieved!! Who’d have thought. Students come to classes not only for the joy of creating a quick impression, but for the group they bond with every week, and for the fun we have together discovering the world around us. Hope to […]

Week1 Term1 ’17. What Colour is Green?

February 4, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Week 1 Term 1 2017. Sat February 4. We’ve hardly had time to lie down with a book under a tree lately!  Isn’t that what we all dream about! Ah well. Later.  Summer sketch classes are over and hopefully those awfully hot days. We actually made a fascinating discovery in one of our Summer Sketching classes. One of our sketchers wears a Fitbit. She says she has high blood pressure. While we were sketching last week she checked it. The […]

Summer Sketching.The Cafe

January 25, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Summer Sketching Tuesday Jan 23 & Thursday Jan 25 ’17 Summer holidays are coming to a close.  Australia Day celebrations are just before everyone goes back to work, school, or whatever keeps them busy all year. We’ve enjoyed our Summer classes just trying out ideas and colour. Seeing what happens when we have a go at techniques. What has also been a delight is the number of students we haven’t seen in ages, coming along to enjoy the company and […]

Summer Sketching. Wax Crayons Paint & Pens

January 20, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Summer Sketching. Tues Jan 17 & Thursday Jan 19 ’17 This week was about tracing your lines and hardly leaving the page with your pen. Let it meander around the shapes you are seeing. Also a nice opportunity to try some interesting mediums. Kathy had water soluble wax crayons to play with. Add a little water, scape a little back. Pop some gel pen in there. Oh and what about some coloured gel pens. Add some scones and jam? It […]

Tutor Training. General Sketching

January 20, 2017 by Erin Hill Sketching

Tutor Training. General Sketchers. Jan 16 – 18 2017 We’ve worked very hard over the last fortnight, polishing our tutor training skills. We were back in the Studio on Monday morning, bright eyed and bushy tailed, having had the weekend off between New & now General training. Whew.  Joining us this week was Tony from NZ and Jeanette from Melbourne. With all of us together we found incredible value in discussing everything from planning the classes, How students respond to […]

Greeting Cards. Girl’s Night In

November 19, 2016 by Erin Hill Sketching

Girl’s Night In. Wednesday November 16 ’16 Card and gift card making is a favourite for our keen students and friends. Having a handmade card is such a rarity these days, but many still love to step away from the madness and mayhem of Christmas and make something. Bec was your host for the evening, and with her brought all sorts of fabric and bits and pieces. Students added their own treasures and before long a factory was in place. […]
