29th September 2023 – We were pleased to welcome Mark Warner http://www.brushmark.co.uk on his first visit to Halifax Art Society. He gave a wonderful demonstration of one of his paintings and explained the techniques/materials he uses. He brought in some examples of his artwork and sketches which were very inspiring.
22nd September 2023 – The workshop was led by Lynda. Members were asked to bring watercolour paper, brushes and masking fluid. Brusho and other materials were provided on the day. Lynda explained what Brusho is and gave a demonstration on the different ways it can be used. For example you can sprinkle it on to wet paper, use a resist, paint on wood or shells. Members had a great time experimenting with this very colourful medium.
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.
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.
