Erin is the founder of Erin Hill Sketching.

It began in Sydney NSW Australia in 2012 when she opened a studio in a small at a beach-side shop determined give everyone
with an artistic impulse, the opportunity to grow that urge into artistic fulfilment.
She had long believed that everybody was capable of being an artist by embracing what she called “travel sketching”.
Today that term is used world-wide to describe the practice of making a fast but fulsome impressions of a variety of subjects,
using techniques not taught at conventional art schools.
On the spot. At the location. In the moment.
With a minimal of art materials and pigments. Spontaneous and joyful.
At its core is a fresh way of seeing and understanding what we are looking at.

Erin’s system was developed following childhood artistic success,
and success as an advertising design art director and illustrator culminating in the formation of her own commercial studio
undertaking major commissions in Australia and New Zealand accruing the skills needed to simplify a visual story in a very limited time.
Speed, spontaneity, layering pigments, from pencils, paints or a twig - mixed with courage -
bought a freshness to image-making and confidence to beginners and experienced artists alike.
This was where the seeds of her Travel Sketching techniques began and evolved into her teaching system which now successful in classes workshops and art tour groups worldwide.
Tutors in the Erin Hill Sketching Group carry forward these principles, adding their own ideas techniques
and graphic innovations and passion to a system which is still evolving and
bringing confidence to students in Europe, North America and Australasia.
And a fresh way to see the world.
