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.
4th February – will now be “Drawing with dust” with Carol
11th February – will now be “Abstract Landscapes” with Janet
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.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, this Friday’s demonstration by Paul Talbot-Greaves has been postponed until a later date in spring.
Instead, we will be having a “member’s choice” morning, where you can bring along any work you may wish to complete from previous workshops, or a piece that you are otherwise working on. If nothing comes to mind, just bring yourself with a piece of work to share.
We are not imposing any restrictions on members wishing to join us on Friday, but if you feel safer please bring your masks along. Tables will be spaced as usual and hand-sanitiser is provided.
