20th February 2026 – Members were busy either completing their Playhouse work or having free choice on subject and medium. Our next changeover at the Playhouse will include framed work inspired by the programme covers loaned to us.
13th February 2026 – presented by Janet, this morning was another chance for members to work from vintage and recent programmes kindly provided by the Halifax Playhouse. The finished artwork will be displayed at the Playhouse later this year.
6th February 2026 – Following on from last week’s demonstration by Jane Austin, members had a go at recreating Jane’s painting or choosing a subject of their own. It was a good morning where we could practice the tips and techniques Jane gave us.
30th January 2026 – We welcomed back Jane who demonstrated painting a water feature from a photograph in watercolour. Jane explained how she outlines the picture first, applies masking fluid to areas she wants to keep white, prepares a page of the colours and colour mixing she will use. She also gave members lots of ideas, tips and techniques to create different effects, especially when painting water.
23rd January 2026 – This workshop was led by Lynda, who brought in many examples of her own artwork depicting these fascinating creatures. Lynda also provided templates and ideas to help members to create their own artwork.
