About Erin Hill
I've been hosting bespoke Sketch Holidays and Workshops since 2010 and for me seeing students who believed they couldn’t sketch, actually discover that they can is my greatest joy. We learn in a relaxed and enjoyable way to let go and allow whatever you see become the impression on your page.
All levels of sketching welcome, in fact the more experienced sketchers discover many techniques which polish up their work, while new sketchers discover a skill they’ll have for life.
The priority is always to show you special Erin Hill Sketching techniques to more quickly than you can believe, produce work to a standard you did not think possible. For watercolour enthusiasts, you’ll adore the way we use this medium.
Do come and discover what travel sketching is all about.
Format:
Day 1. Simplifying Travel Sketching
Our first day will be about planning your page and getting onto your page what you see in front of you. We will look at the main shapes in our subject to get our first sketch done, with several tricks to get you more free. Once we apply aquarelle pencil colour you'll see how leaving whites and pushing darks creates dimension. We continue on location and complete our sketches over lunch. We’ll carry many of these tips over to day 2.
Day 2. Getting Loose with Watercolour
Today I’ll show you my special and quick technique for getting magical colour with just 8 or so colours.
Once we have our first sketch, we’ll start with where to put colour, how much water to add, and how to let your colours come together on the page.
We’ll do a location sketch and apply watercolour at lunch, and see the colours glow.
You’ll love the results.
