Playing with Texture

10 April, 2022 Halifax Art Society

On Friday 1st April, our member Carol Pope shared her amazing experience once again in our workshop ‘Playing with Texture ‘. We used pens and pencils of all kind and took inspiration from books and plenty of great photos that Carol had brought along.

Hands on

4 April, 2022 Halifax Art Society

At the end of March we took time to look at our own hands and the shapes they make in a workshop of ‘Busy hands’ led by Lynda Thomas. We looked at a variety of reference material, books and wooden mannequin models as well as our own digits.

Lynda encouraged us to use different media and look at our hands in a different way.

Line and wash with John Harrison

15 March, 2022 Halifax Art Society

Last Friday we had our first long awaited demonstration after the lockdown. John Harrison, known to many from TV, entertained and taught us ‘Line and Wash’ using a very fine black pen and watercolour. He created a stunning view of nearby Slaithwaite.
