In celebration of the forthcoming Coronation we attempted to create a portrait or picture connected with this special event. Cakes were provided which certainly helped with our creativity!
A Right Royal Portrait
Author: Halifax Art Society
A is for Alphabet
And B is for Book.
The workshop, led by Lynda, was about creating an altered book using alphabet stamps, inks, paints, photos etc. This is a recognised art form where an old book is transformed into a new book. Members were asked to bring in a small, unwanted book and Lynda brought in many ideas, examples and items they could use. Some very interesting work was produced.
Oil pastels continued….
Oil pastel demonstration
Jake Attree brought in some impressive examples of pictures he has done using oil pastels – some taking several months, even years! He gave a short demonstration of the techniques he uses to create his pictures.
Jake then spent time talking to us whilst we had a go, giving valuable feedback. We had an informative and very fun day with Jake.
Spring time!
Carol led the workshop on 7th April, where members created artwork based on the theme of Spring. Carol brought in photographs, gardening books and some flowers picked from her own garden. Here are some pictures of work in progress.
