8th September 2023 – Due to a last minute change to the schedule, Carol stepped in to lead an interesting and enjoyable workshop. Carol gave hints and tips for drawing with white chalk, pencil or pastel on to black paper. She brought in examples to demonstrate the different techniques that can be applied.
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.
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.
Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, Fran and Mark Burgum had to cancel their workshop. Carol stepped in and led a workshop giving a lot of Hints and Tips to improve our pencil drawing and sketching. She brought in many different examples and ideas to work from to practice the techniques.
