Introduction to travel Sketching
WITH Alisa

“I couldn't let the weekend pass without thanking Alisa Cooper for an absolutely fabulous introduction to Travel Sketching.
Her easy and supportive teaching style made learning so much fun.
I have to confess I am hooked for life.
Now bring on the once a month workshops starting soon. 🥰❤️🤗
PS: I feel like I’ve come such a long way in 6 weeks and hopefully the progress will continue “😀👩🏼‍🎨🎨

We use watercolour as our main medium but also watercolour pencils for when paint isn’t practical.
Often we use both mediums together for extra impact.
Different plein air subjects each week, with our friendly group.
Students say it’s very meditative and calming.
Alisa will take you through the steps to quick sketching and guide you with new ideas
and techniques for colour applications.

You’ll need our small custom Sketch Kit which pops into your bag and is ready when you need it.

Erin Hill SketchingTutor

Our classes will be in Sydney’s gorgeous Inner West, often Balmain/Rozelle, and sometimes Hunters Hill/Gladesville.

Creativity has always been a significant part of my life.
While I've explored various art forms such as quilting and pottery, my journey into travel sketching began with Erin.
More recently with Kirsten.

Initially, I hesitated, thinking I needed to be an accomplished artist to be a sketcher,
but I soon discovered the magic that happens when I followed the steps and let go of my inhibitions.

Throughout my career, which often involved high-stress environments and team building,
I’ve learned the importance of life balance and connections with others.

Travel sketching has allowed me to fully immerse myself in the present, leaving work and responsibilities behind.
It's introduced me to wonderful people from diverse backgrounds, many of whom have become lifelong friends.

Now as a tutor, I'm thrilled to share with you the joy of discovering new places,
keenly observing the world, and capturing it on paper.

The experience is both meditative and rewarding, and I can't wait to have you join in. See you soon!
