Sketching in The Greek Isles

April 20, 2018 by ErinHill Sketching

April 14 – May 3 2018 Rhodes 1 night * Halki 4 nights. * Tilos 4 nights. * Nissiros 3 nights. * Kalymnos 6 nights. Our Kate is the tutor on this year’s Greek Isles sketch Tour. We love the Dodecanese Isles and Diana, our tour organiser knows we like to change it up a little every two years when we’re there, so these are the islands she’s picked for us. The group all met on an exciting Saturday night […]

Week 6 Term 1. Mixed media, lines & stories

March 10, 2018 by ErinHill Sketching

WEEK 6. SATURDAY MARCH 10 ’18 Another week and even more progress. Intro Sketchers faced up to Eye Level Perspective. Usually a big mystery along with big groans. It can evoke some worry especially for those who’ve never had it properly explained. But with our step by step guides, people do begin to see how it works. It’s a great feeling. Another notch in your belt! I can do it. Travel Sketchers were using lines and marks in many different […]

Week5.Term1. Flat Buildings & Fig Trees

March 3, 2018 by ErinHill Sketching

Week 5. Saturday March 3 ’18 Another glorious sketching week once again. By week 5 our Intro Sketchers are beginning to see what they can achieve. Such progress in such a short time and it’s very exciting for we tutors too. We’re loving the perspectives we’re seeing from you. First architectural sketch plus using watercolour and look at what a story you’re telling. Nature in many techniques was they way we went for our Travel Sketchers. I’ve had the pleasure of […]

Week4.Term1. First Watercolours & Co- Sketching

February 24, 2018 by ErinHill 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 […]

Sunday Workshop. Sketching & Simple Colour

February 18, 2018 by ErinHill Sketching

Sunday February 18 ’18 Another glorious Sydney day. How do we cope! coming along to one of very enjoyable ‘Taste of Sketching’ Workshops helps a lot. Once we get started with observing our subject, we’re quite unaware of what might be happening out there in the world! We’re very busy observing only what’s in front of us. Sketching is one of these wonderful moments in time where you are completely immersed in playing with line and colour. Totally in the […]

Holiday Sketching.

January 29, 2018 by ErinHill Sketching

Wednesday January 24 ’18. Bella Vista with Kathy We are rather used to having our Holiday sketching at Bella Vista with just the locals and luckily for us this week, we could sit in the shade under the massive Morton Bay trees and sketch in a small breeze. Kathy had found the glorious gum flowers which look exactly like upside down ballet tutus. Kathy is so good with her ways to treat what’s in front of you in different ways […]

Tutors in Training take their First Class

January 19, 2018 by ErinHill 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. […]

Holiday Sketching

January 19, 2018 by ErinHill Sketching

So look out world. Everyone enjoyed the time together, as we do every […]

Term4 Week8. Bicycles & Books

December 2, 2017 by ErinHill Sketching

New Sketchers started by sketching a bicycle from memory! Something we’ve seen all our lives, but can’t remember how it looks without seeing one. Our observation skills were honed up once we saw the real thing. Lots of laughs over our memory sketches! General classes were back at harry Hartog Booksellers, one of our favourite locations to sketch. We were looking for vintage or crazy shop displays – and there were plenty. That’s a paper mache reindeer wearing red antlers, […]
