On Friday 18th February, art society member Jenny Reid introduced us to the skill of colour mixing with watercolour paint. The emerging pieces of work proved the patience and skill of our members once again.

Abstract landscape
On Friday 11th February, our secretary Janet Gladhill guided us through a very interesting morning. She provided paintings in a variety of mediums for us to choose from, along with books on the subject to help with different mixed media ideas. Janet brought along some mark-making tools for us to try out: oil pastels, store cards, water spray bottles, cling film, bubble wrap, twigs, ink and pens, just to name a few. Once again all members enjoyed the morning.
Drawing with dust
On Friday 4th February, members of the Halifax Art Society were guided by artist Carol Pope to create a painting of a landscape or a portrait with graphite dust. We were stunned how a piece of kneadable putty could be used for slightly erasing but not fully erasing the paper we had covered with graphite dust. Also known as putty rubber it resembles putty or gum. The eraser absorbs graphite and charcoal particles.

Member’s choice
Last week, quite a few members of the Halifax Art Society came together although the announced demonstration couldn’t take place. Artists don’t run out of ideas easily as the pictures show.
