Quarantine Station. Vistas & Vignettes

April 13, 2013 by ErinHill Sketching

THURSDAY APRIL 11 What a stunning day. One out of the box. A perfect day for an adventure. At 10am everyone managed to be at the Info Centre ready for our trip down the bumpy ol’ road to the Quarantine Station on the foreshore of the harbour. For 140 years new arrivals were brought here if anyone on the ship was suspected of having a contagious disease. Smallpox in the 1800s, Bubonic plague in the 1900′s, Spanish influenza 1918 -19, […]

At last a Summer’s Day

December 29, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Now THIS is what we like. Summer = blue skies, Sun not too hot, Sparkling water, slight breeze. Umbrella up. Same for everybody really. Now that the hurley burley is over we can flop on the sofas, stick our feet out and let go. This is the life. Worked all year for this. We have our swims, eat more ham or turkey – in sandwiches or salads – not tiring of it yet! Friends come and go and we just love […]

Perfume,Hands,Streets & Boats

November 24, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Our Sketching Week. Nov 22,23,24. An excellent week for our sketchers. Take a look. THURSDAY NOV 22 ’12 I love the new wooden hands they had in my Art store. One is slightly larger than the other so having two together is a great sketch for people. The two hands are not forgiving if you don’t observe well before starting your sketch. And seeing I sketched my new perfume yesterday, that was the inspiration for the other choice today. Both […]

Mollymook Getaway

October 17, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Sometimes it’s just wonderful to get out of town and get some sand between your toes. To watch some whales. Eat some great food. Talk your head off. Laugh at everything. Taste a little wine. Read in bed. Hear the birds. Unwind. Coffee – absolutely. Thanks Jacquie. We all did all of these things and loved it. ©ErinHill2012

French Window, Line & Acrylic

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

Acrylic Line & Wax Crayon on Canvas

September 27, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

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

Small Canvas Acrylic & Line Paintings

September 25, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

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

From my Window

September 13, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

New work. Watercolour and line. Completed today. I have a ‘thing’ for French windows. It’s that possibility of turning an ordinary view into something extraordinary. I love to have some personal things on the sill, and then take you to what’s beyond. It could be Sydney, Paris or a brick wall. But looking out through French windows makes it magic. ©ErinHill2012
