Erin Hill SketchingTutor

I don’t have a creative bone in my body!

I’m serious! 😊 And yet I’m about to become a Travel Sketch Tutor.

Not having an artistic background is my strength. I was lucky enough to learn from the best – Erin Hill – and I am living proof that following Erin’s step by step process will help you to create a sketch that you feel happy about. If I can sketch it, anyone can!

I met Erin in 2022 on her sketching trip to Sicily, and I followed that wonderful experience with several classes in Australia too. I liked Erin’s relaxed style of sketching and her use of colour. That’s how I became hooked on sketching.

What I love about Travel Sketching is that you are capturing a moment in time – a feeling – a memory. You can produce something a little more personal than a photograph and it makes you slow down, appreciate the moment, and to have fun with it. Oh, and the colours we use are gorgeous too! Our sketches are light, bright, and happy. You will feel uplifted as you are creating them. It’s just fun!

I will show you how to create your own sketches through Erin’s step by step classes. They are easy to follow.

I will take you to interesting, enjoyable places to create our sketches – to colourful cafés, little wooden chapels, interesting architecture, gardens, rivers, beaches and many more places. Our sketching sites will all be on the Gold Coast from the beach to the hinterland, and you will be notified each week where we are to meet and what we will sketch.

So, if you are looking for a mindfulness hobby, for some “me time,” if you want to meet a nice group of people and spend an enjoyable few hours each week sketching, then join us on our course. I promise you there are no calories in the cakes that we sketch…..
