4th August 2023 – A visit was organised to sketch at the All Saints churchyard and garden. The weather was rather wet and drizzly, not ideal for outdoor painting. A few of us ventured out to the church to look at the gardens and cemetery, which was extremely interesting. Those who were at the Hall were busy painting flowers or working on previous subjects.
Last week most members had completed their mobile, so today members decided to complete unfinished artwork for the Halifax Heritage Bus or Calderdale Industrial Museum exhibition.
Following on from Paul Talbot-Greaves demonstration the previous Friday, members enjoyed having a go at painting a landscape using acrylics. Here are pictures of work in progress.
On 17th February we had a demonstration by our society president Paul Talbot-Greaves.
Paul created two different landscapes, one on canvas board and one on acrylic paper. It was interesting to learn about the differences in the techniques he applied to each painting, the affect of using matt medium with acrylic paint, working dark to light, using a test strip to match a colour before applying and much more.
Paul also brought in some of his artwork which was inspiring to see. We are all looking forward to applying what we have learned at next weeks meeting.
