A Christmas Wreath

22 December, 201822 December, 2018 Halifax Art Society

‘A Christmas Wreath’ was the subject of last Friday’s watercolour demonstration by Jane Austin for the Halifax Art Society. Jane gave many hints and tips on how to obtain different effects including using gold leaf.

It was a good turnout of members for this last session in 2018. At break time we enjoyed Christmas cake and cheese.

A Merry Christmas to all our members and friends, who will remember to join us again on the 4th January at All Saints Parish Hall in Skircoat Green , when Janet Gledhill will lead a morning of ‘Poetry and Cake’.

Free and easy

11 December, 201811 December, 2018 Halifax Art Society

Last Friday morning the Halifax Art Society had a ‘free and easy’ session, as many members and guests made hand drawn/painted Christmas cards and Christmas stars. Mince pies with our tea & coffee got us all in the festive mood.

We met as usual in ‘All Saints Parish Hall’ at Godfrey Road in Skircoat Green, Halifax, from 10:30am to 1 pm.

Watercolor skies

10 December, 201810 December, 2018 Halifax Art Society

On 30th November, a number of members of the Halifax Art Society had a try at watercolour skies after the earlier demonstration by Stephen Coates. It was a lot harder than it appeared to be of course!

In your Overgate Hospice Calendar for December is the snowy view of Clay House, Greetland, painted by Chris Lamb. Don’t forget to get your 2019 Hospice calendar with more paintings by Halifax Art Society members. At £3.50 it makes a lovely stocking filler.

All in the head

What a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon

Once again Lynne and Philip opened their home to members, this time for a ‘Drawing the Head Workshop’. Reta was even trying out Lynne’s ‘drawing on the tablet’ app!

Lynne is keen for Halifax Art Society members to be able to visit galleries, so the money raised from these workshops will go towards coach hire. We wonder where we will go!
