For my upcoming Exhibition

Posted by: ErinHillArt.Travel Journal on: January 29, 2012

I need a very large painting on the main wall as you enter the exhibition. Did I mention my Bather’s Pavilion Exhibition in March & April? Well it’s 2 years since my last one already! So this 1metre square piece will do the honours. Not in it’s present state of course. This is the scrubbed [...]

Down at Manly Cove

Posted by: ErinHillArt.Travel Journal on: January 19, 2012

This one began life as a little sketch I did while sitting on the steps in the sun, at Manly Cove. It’s 2nd life was when the colour was applied and it became a greeting card and print. Third time lucky was the large line & watercolour sketch I did recently. But it’s luck ran [...]

Ferries Passing, Balmoral

Well this is different. For me anyway. By using a sketch as the reference, which I’d done on location at Balmoral Beach, I decided to block it in using my acrylics straight onto 300gsm Arches Aquarelle.

An entirely different work from the previous ‘Intense Colour Sketch’. Again based on a sketch done at Balmoral Beach when sketching one day, this was about 5pm in the afternoon. People were beginning to spread out their picnics and rugs and get out the crisp white wine. Tonight at 8pm sharp would be a performance [...]

Colour Intense Sketch

Posted by: ErinHillArt.Travel Journal on: January 5, 2012

I’m trying some serious colour for a new series of sketches. Done on 300gsm Aquarelle Arches. Good solid strong colour. Mask off the area and get the acrylic paint ready. Because I’m looking through my sketches for good compositions I don’t need to do any drawing or indications on the paper at all. I like [...]

A Shiny Brand New Year

Posted by: ErinHillArt.Travel Journal on: January 1, 2012

The sun was streaming through curtains and woke me. 6.15am on the first day of ‘Next Year’. Time to get my ‘wake up’ cuppa tea. Wow, it’s glorious out there. I can hear cicadas and tweety chirpy birds, happy chat from early risers walking off their Christmas pudding, a boat engine as chaps go fishing. [...]
