drawing – Page 6 – Halifax Art Society

31st January 2025 – Nicola is a fashion illustrator and brought in her stunning artwork, Chanel books she illustrated, fashion magazines, photos and lots of tools for members to use as part of her workshop. We started by practising drawing the human frame and encouraged to use a loose painting style. We then did quick 5 minute sketches of Nicola in different poses followed by creating our own artwork using an image from one of the magazines/photos. It was a challenging and thoroughly enjoyable morning.

Paint Anything SCOTTISH

4 December, 2024 Halifax Art Society

29th November 2024 – As it was St Andrew’s Day, members were invited to wear anything Scottish. Unfortunately Kate was unable to lead this workshop so Lynne kindly stepped in. Lynne explained the many different objects and photos that were available to help inspire our artwork. Lynda had the difficult job of choosing the 3 best Scottish themed pictures and each artist won a prize, well done. We also enjoyed refreshments which included haggis and shortbread biscuits. Thank you to all who contributed to a great morning.
