Halifax Art Society members had a very interesting time at a workshop run by visiting artist, Dorothy Simister, on Friday, 25th February. We had to work very quickly to do a series of watercolour sketches from photographs that Dorothy had taken on her travels around the UK and Europe – she only allowed us a few minutes for each sketch before changing the picture! Dorothy brought a big pile of her own sketchbooks to look at. She never travels without her sketchbook and paints!

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.
