Blue Mts Getaway – March 2013

March 7, 2013 by ErinHill Sketching

A rainy ol’ Sunday. What better thing to do than tootle off to the Blue Mts for a Sketching Getaway. Everyone arrived at Kurrajong Village on the dot of 10, bright eyed and bushy tailed. Bluebox Cafe was very happy to give us a balcony table overlooking the blue and lavender misty Gross Valley. We ordered our essential first caffeine of the day, and a tasty something if we’d missed breakfast. Introductions took place for those who hadn’t met but […]

Holiday Sketches

October 5, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Therese has returned from Rome and London, and Jenny had a marvellous time in Botswana and Namibia. Jacquie has been in Singapore and Melbourne. Pam has been on the South Coast, Atsuko has been to Ayers Rock and Robbie has been between Manly and Lindfield – though has broken a wrist so hopefully can […]

On the way

August 29, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Ben very kindly transported us to the airport. It was kinda interesting to sketch in the car. You end up with a few lines in funny places as you bump or go round corners, even through tunnels. It all just adds to the personality of the sketch. Then there are a couple of sketches done while Milton checked out the Duty Free. If you sit there long enough you start to think you need to buy something.

Mini Sketch Trip : Ettalong, Patonga, Pearl Beach

August 8, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

We decided on Ettalong as our home base, and each day we could go to a different coastal village. Our meeting place was Ferry Road Cafe, to down our first coffee of the day, and think about not thinking about the city we’d escaped from, and immerse ourselves in […]

Sketching Ettalong

July 10, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

What remarkable weather they have in Ettalong, Pearl beach and Patonga. I think the perfect blues of the day, the gold of sunset, the greens & yellows of water and shore, seem so different from Sydney. Maybe it just seems more so there. We were exploring in this place on the Central Coast where for 15 summers, a decade ago, we spent so much time. Back then our children learned to ride bikes.No TV or phones, but with board games, […]

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 […]
