Sketching is that quick impression, using a black pen, done in a moment with a dash of colour. We teach you to sketch in whatever time you have. This is why we call it Travel Sketching. Five minutes? Thirty minutes? You can always get an impression. After all, it may be the only chance you’ll have. Erin Hill Sketching shows you exactly how to achieve that skill and precisely what to look for when on holiday.  It’s about getting in touch with your intuitive side, rather than your analytical side. When we impose a time limit you don’t get to labour your sketch, rather you get straight to the essence, without ‘thinking’ about it. The pen takes over, not the brain. This is a magic moment. You have become free. You let go.

Too much of today’s life is about reasoning and logic. We help our pupils get in touch with their creative side. That is why so many of our students say they see the world differently and now are confident in other aspects of their lives. This underlines EVERYTHING we teach. Some people call this Mindfulness. We call it Travel Sketching.

There will be a three hour workshop every morning with free time in the afternoon to relax, go on excursions or continue sketching at your own pace. If you haven’t sketched with us before, you begin here. Anybody can learn to sketch with the Erin Hill system. You may or may not have previous art experience, but this is where you start your journey. Leave your fears at the door. We will show you step by step how to go about it. And for our regular and long term sketchers, we play with a number of mediums with our sketches to create exciting effects. We also work on creating a journal of your adventures so that you’ll always have a memory of your special times and places.
