On the 14th October we were invited to an Outdoor Drawing workshop at Dean Clough with Jake Attree at his studio. He talked through some of his drawings done using only a biro – they were very striking.
After Jake gave a short demonstration of his technique, we found a spot either outside or indoors looking out of window and drew in biro what we could see. Everyone enjoyed this unique experience.
Some members stayed at the Hall and drew an industrial landscape from photographs provided.
Last Friday members of the Halifax Art Society had to be both ‘quick on the draw’ and ‘quick with the paint’ at Dorothy Simister’s workshop.
She put up a slide taken on one of her lovely walks in various countries on the screen for just ten minutes. In this time, we had to do a quick drawing in pen and ink, and then complete a quick watercolour sketch, before the slide was changed!
On the 28th February Lynne Hickin will lead a workshop ‘Watercolour and Doodles’. Bring watercolours and fine point pens.
