Demonstration by John Harrison
The Halifax Art Society had John Harrison as their Friday meeting demonstrator on the 25th May. Most of the members had been to one of John’s demonstrations before and looked forward to meeting him again.
As usual John had lots of interesting art stories to tell as he painted his chosen subject: ‘Appletreewick in Line and Wash’. John, a very skilled draughtsman, drew in two houses on the opposite sides of a small street. He then proceeded to add limited colour, concentrating on the shade that the houses made. The finished painting was admired by all members, and we look forward to putting into practice all he had taught us at our next meeting.
On the 8th June Chris Leaper is scheduled for ‘Demonstration & Workshop creating Islamic Geometric Patterns’.

In the style of John Piper
Last year members of the Halifax Art Society went to Liverpool to see the ‘John Piper Exhibition’. We were so impressed that last week we tried to create coastal scenes and more ‘in the style of‘, guided by Lynda Thomas and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
On the 25th, John Harrison will demonstrate ‘In Line and Wash’.
It’s been a year?
Seeing ‘ AGM ‘ in a program will put off some people. However, last Friday morning ‘AGM’ attracted many to the Halifax Art Society meeting, as members know it doesn’t mean only ‘business’.
We soon had tea with strawberry & cream scones and then enjoyed Lynne Hickin’s excellent PowerPoint presentation of the last year. We hadn’t realised we had been so busy!!
Hebden Bridge exhibition
Our exhibition of great art at the Tourist Information Centre in Hebden Bridge will be open throughout May. Don’t miss the opportunity of buying great art for reasonable prices!
