Line and wash with John Harrison
Workshop with Dorothy Simister
Halifax Art Society members had a very interesting time at a workshop run by visiting artist, Dorothy Simister, on Friday, 25th February. We had to work very quickly to do a series of watercolour sketches from photographs that Dorothy had taken on her travels around the UK and Europe – she only allowed us a few minutes for each sketch before changing the picture! Dorothy brought a big pile of her own sketchbooks to look at. She never travels without her sketchbook and paints!
Colour mixing workshop
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.
