Something purely decorative. Just for the pure pleasure of putting bright colour and black line into a fun painting. I never tire of dreaming as I look beyond any French Window to any lovely vista before me. May we always have our dreams. Available now in my SHOP. ©ErinHill2012

This is another in my 12 inch square acrylic and line beach paintings. The series are all based on location sketches, and which looked as though they’d translate to a larger size than the original A5. I really like this one. The colours are right, the composition works and it has a very cheerful ambience to it. Available in SHOP. ©ErinHill2012

Something new. Just to show that when we are between Sketch Class terms, that things are buzzing in the Studio. I now feel that the new line sketch technique is working well and this one is very pleasing. I have a variety of pens I can use on larger works like this, and using white water solouble crayon means I can pick up little areas of white. More coming soon. Oh this one in in the SHOP now. ©ErinHill2012

New work. Small square canvases. Simple compositions. Clear colour. Must be Spring! These first 3 are all based on location sketches which I felt would work as fresh colour with line sketch detail paintings. Getting a good response from those who’ve seen them. The Studio is looking very cheerful. Available in SHOP. ©ErinHill2012

I’m doing a bit more food & wine sketching these days. On this particular day I sat in the sun at a beachside cafe and ordered 2 friands. Love them. Nice size. Not too sweet. Oh and a fab coffee. I had planned to sketch them. I was taking my caffein hit as I observed these 2 little golden friands sitting on a plate enjoying the sun. First was the blueberry one, then the almond, but hang on – 2 […]

Well it’s done. The paintings are hung. The exhibition is ready. At The Bather’s Pavilion Balmoral Beach. So glad the Opening isn’t till Tuesday night. Time to tweek anything that needs it. I will even arrive refreshed and ready to rock n roll. It rained all day but the paintings were already in the storeroom. Somehow having the best coffee available downstairs means I’m very happy. I admit I had a moment as I carried the last of the paintings […]

I may well be able to get back to the Studio. Weddings, moving house, a little eye surgery and intermittent internet, certainly creates a hiccup when one has a major exhibition on the horizon. I did get the line sketch onto the acrylic under painting for the metre square Balmoral feature work however. It’s in the Studio window and seems to be getting a positive response. It’s very strong, very simple, very clear colour. There are only a few smaller […]

These are a few of my Manly Beach Sketches, done over the last year or so. I know I have others and as I locate them in my Sketch books, I’ll add them here for you to view. ©ErinHill2012

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. Interesting how you get a slightly illustrative look, because it’s already that way in the sketch. Also has a pastel look, with the soft edges. I’m thinking of doing another in this technique to see if I like it, and if I can do […]
