When Molly met Harry

May 31, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Molly is two and a half. Harry popped out on April 28th, about a month ago. This is their first meeting on that day. The photo came by iphone and we all melted. Then it seemed that possible a sketch could come of it. Not that it’s something I do. Sketch from photos. But the pic was so lovely I decided to have a go. Line sketch with watercolour. I think it worked. Molly was thrilled. Harry slept on. ©ErinHill2012

Cockatoo Island Sketch Adventure

May 24, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

This is a little bit back to front, as I’ve shown the Wednesday sketching first. But I like it. And the girls were deeply engrossed. Let me introduce you. Meet Therese, Karen, Elaine and Jenny. We arrived on Monday morning, left bags at the office, and met at the only cafe for a warm up sketch and coffee. Absolutely great weather, and what’s more it got bluer every day. Decided to do a tour of our island home and become […]

Skies I adore

May 20, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

I seem to be an early riser. And I do get to see some breathtaking skies. All these are taken in those few seconds before the hues change so dramatically, to equally beautiful new ones. These are just a few I came across in my collection. The last one is a sunset. In the amazing little Greek Island of Kastellorizo, a very long way from Athens, but a place I must return to and paint again. ©ErinHill2012

Big Surf at Manly

May 14, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Well there I was sitting in the Studio deciding to gesso over 2 canvases I wasn’t happy with. Then a happy little voice piped up as someone walked in. My little friend Jo. Architect, Yoga Teacher & Sketcher. Just passing and saw the flag up so thought she’d pop in. Jo had been out sketching on a rare day to herself, so that’s all it took for me to decide to join her and go down to the seaside. Not with […]

Yummy Thai for Mumma’s Day

May 13, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

These days it’s a ‘No Kids, no Mothers’ Mother’s Day. It happens. They leave home or leave the planet. So for Virginia and I it was ‘ME’ Day. The boys were happy to help with that as we were late lunching at Green Pearl, a waterfront Thai at Bayswater. We hadn’t been before but we knew where it was supposed to be. You know, GPS , iphones and things. Could not see where it could be, so asked another cafe […]

Sydney turns on one of it’s best

May 8, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Up early, perfect blue sky through the curtains, sit for a minute having my porridge, off to catch the 8.50am ferry to Sydney. Grab a coffee at the cafe I like on the beach edge, get the little legs going nineteen to the dozen to the wharf. Pure joy. What a day. Sydney delivers these just to remind you it can. One of it’s best. Not a breath of wind. Clear air. Harbour vistas to die for. Found a good […]

Meet Rosie, my new life sketching model

May 4, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Wow this was fun. Been ages since I’ve sketched from life. Maybe even art school. Just adore the human form. Rosie rocked on into the Studio one day and we got into conversation about Life classes, that she was a life model, and she’d love to model for a class if I wished to have one. So that got me thinking. I could easily have Life Sketching in the Studio. I would have everyone seated on chairs. No desks. No […]
