Seed heads

1 December, 202128 November, 2021 Halifax Art Society

We had a very enjoyable workshop on Friday, 26th November, painting and drawing some lovely seed heads – teasels, honesty, cones and others.  Some people used watercolour, some used acrylic inks, and some did detailed botanical studies in pen and ink or in soft pencil – a beautiful selection.

Catching up or starting anew

29 November, 202125 November, 2021 Halifax Art Society

On Friday 19th November, the planned activity couldn’t go ahead for the Halifax Art Society because of illness. However, our secretary was able to send out an email in time and members arrived with work they always meant to finish one day, or with new ideas in their mind.

Materials and magazines are always available and advice too, so we had a great session, as the photos show.

A rubbish still life

27 November, 202125 November, 2021 Halifax Art Society

On Friday 12th November, our member Jenny Reid led the Halifax Art Society in a workshop dealing with rubbish in a different way before the recycling. It was astonishing to see how skilfully members created pieces of art within two hours.
