1st September 2023 – unfortunately Lindsay Norman had to cancel her workshop due to ill health. Instead we had a free choice morning. A selection of photographs were provided for inspiration. Members produced a rich variety of artwork.
Halifax Art Society have been asked by the Calderdale Music Trust to host a drop in sketching workshop on Saturday, 9th September 1pm – 3pm, at the Old Courthouse, Blackwall, Halifax.
Please come along and meet this talented group of people who will show you how to draw musical instruments and maybe colour in a stained glass window template. In our fancy dress corner there are props and costumes ready for you – try on a top hat and waistcoat, a bonnet and parasol, a mop cap and shawl or any combination. Thank you to the Halifax Junior Light Opera for loan of the costumes. Colouring sheets and pencils are provided.
25th August 2023 – Thank you again to Ilona for organising today’s visit to the allotments where a few of us enjoyed sketching outdoors. Some members decide to stay at the Hall to paint/draw flowers, that were kindly provided by Janet and Carol, or to continue with unfinished artwork from last week.
18th August 2023 – A visit was arranged to the secret garden in Manor Heath. Janet took many photos of the beautiful flowers in the park, and one little visitor! As it was a rainy morning, most of the members stayed in the Hall to paint a still life, a picture inspired from a magazine or to continue with their own project.
11th August 2023 – Thank you to Ilona for arranging this day for members to visit Godfrey Road Allotments to do some sketching. Many photos were taken and members had the opportunity to sketch and paint outdoors. Back at the Hall, members had the choice of drawing and painting an assortment of fruit, flowers and vegetables.
