Urban Sketching Manly with Liz Steel

April 23, 2013 by ErinHill Sketching

Liz and I have cafe meetings. This suits us both. She has tea and I have my Flat White. Aaaah – the satisfaction. We have much to talk about, often at the same time. We get so excited about everything to do with sketching. I’m probably not as addicted as she, I discover. Who else do you know who texts to say ‘Slight traffic delay, ETA 9.15′. Then when she arrives at the Studio at 9.16, has done 2 car […]

Exhibiting at Raglan Gallery, one of our Sketchers.

April 19, 2013 by ErinHill Sketching

What a great show. Karen is one of our sketchers, and had made mention that she’d had some work accepted at Raglan Gallery, one of the best galleries in Manly. Known for some excellent contemporary works, glass and ceramics. But that had been some time back. Then she rang to say her work was in a ‘small paintings’ show opening on Friday night. Of course I’d go. This is a huge achievement. To have paintings accepted to start with and […]

Happy Open Day in the Studio

January 27, 2013 by ErinHill Sketching

It was after all Australia Day! But many interested people happily left their sausage on the BBQ to come and see us and find out about sketching classes. Joanna was keen to have helium balloons for our festive opening. So we had a couple of bright bouquets of them inside and out. I myself me – made apple and cinnamon muffins which people seemed happy to try! I assure you I am not known for these previously unheard of […]

International Sketchcrawl Day

January 19, 2013 by ErinHill Sketching

This is the 38th International Sketchcrawl. The idea is to sketch whatever happens over that day, and share on line….. Jenny, Ethna and I caught the 8.50am ferry to Circular Quay, and worked our way up those lovely old stone steps to Macquarie St ( reminds of the ones in Montmartre) then through the Botanical Gardens to Palm Court Centre. A big group gathered and Young, one of our Saturday class was excited to be among them. This is big. […]

Urban Sketching at Pyrmont

January 12, 2013 by ErinHill Sketching

This is Liz and Alissa’s baby. A get together of passionate sketchers who would rather do this than anything else. With my brand new sample sketchbook from Stillman & Birn, I hit the streets. The word was it’d be 40+ degrees again, so from Liz was, only come if you are keen So that’s a definite. ‘Yes’ for me. I sketch in any weather as do most of the others. This is an early part of Sydney established for workers […]

Cafe/Sketchup at Belgrave Cartel

January 11, 2013 by ErinHill Sketching

Still holidays but Monica was back in town, so couldn’t wait to organise a sketch and catchup. When I arrived at 10ish or so, I wandered out to the spacious back room, off the sun lit side passage, to see at least 3 of the girls totally absorbed in their sketching already. Belgrave Cartel is once again one of our fave meetup places to sketch. Since the renovations they’ve opened up a back room now connected by a sunny […]

A Sketching Day in Mosman

January 9, 2013 by ErinHill Sketching

Liz Steel and I meet when we can…. to talk and sketch and talk…..and sketch. Today was a good chance to do exactly that. Take a look… It’s good catching the bus. You see so much in a completely different way of places you know so well. It also meant I could walk the full length of Mosman on my way to meet Liz. Today Liz Steel – ( international urban sketcher – an incredibly motivating sketcher who travels widely […]

December 17, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Courage & Creativity – Erin Hill Guest Speaker

December 6, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

I’m part of something new. ‘The Women’s Empowerment Group’. We started it after a previous symposium on creating awareness of girl babies aborted before birth mainly in India. My friend Vicki Grace had been part of a very moving Art exhibition at Conny Dietzschold’s Crown Street, East Sydney Gallery, a few months prior, helping to draw attention to this appalling situation and we’d all been at the Symposium the same week. This just seems so overwhelming and one wonders how […]
