On Friday 1st April, our member Carol Pope shared her amazing experience once again in our workshop ‘Playing with Texture ‘. We used pens and pencils of all kind and took inspiration from books and plenty of great photos that Carol had brought along.

Hands on
At the end of March we took time to look at our own hands and the shapes they make in a workshop of ‘Busy hands’ led by Lynda Thomas. We looked at a variety of reference material, books and wooden mannequin models as well as our own digits.
Lynda encouraged us to use different media and look at our hands in a different way.
Seed heads
We had a very enjoyable workshop on Friday, 26th November, painting and drawing some lovely seed heads – teasels, honesty, cones and others. Some people used watercolour, some used acrylic inks, and some did detailed botanical studies in pen and ink or in soft pencil – a beautiful selection.
A rubbish still life
On Friday 12th November, our member Jenny Reid led the Halifax Art Society in a workshop dealing with rubbish in a different way before the recycling. It was astonishing to see how skilfully members created pieces of art within two hours.
Oranges and Lemons
The theme for the workshop on 1st October was ‘Oranges and Lemon’s with members producing some still lifes and drawing inspiration from other images.
