Simple Watercolour Abstract Landscape
9th August 2024 – this workshop, led by Janet, is a continuation of the theme of ‘Abstraction’ during August. Janet brought many photos, artwork, tools and explained her process. Members had an enjoyable morning creating an abstracted landscape using watercolour paint.
Inspired by De Stael
24th May 2024 – Following on from Dominic Vince’s illustrated talk on the life and work of Nicolas De Stael, members were inspired to try abstract ideas with many using a palette knife rather than brushes.
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.
Come a little closer…
The Halifax Art Society met again at All Saints Parish Hall, Skircoat Green for Janet’s workshop last Friday entitled ‘Come a Little Closer’. She demonstrated how to develop abstract paintings from photographic close-ups.
Our ‘Inspiration’ exhibition is now on at Hebden Bridge Visitor Centre with more than 50 art works to see. Open every day 10-5pm until the 31st September.
