On Friday 21st June, members of the Halifax Art Society met at ‘All Saints Parish Hall’ in Skircoat Green at the usual time of 10:30 for a working session ‘Landscape in any Medium’.
The results are amazing and tell of their talents.
The Hall will be closed July 22nd till August 12th for renovations and an alternate programme is published on our website.
It was a pleasure last Friday morning to welcome artist Phil Biggs to the Halifax Art Society in the All Saints Parish Hall at Skircoat Green. Phil had travelled all the way from Lincolnshire to demonstrate his watercolour technique.
It was mesmerizing to watch how easy it seemed to be for him to create even fog rising in the hills. When Phil added shadows and a dab of darker colour in the foreground we were surprised how it gave distance to the houses in the background.
Today our members were treated to a demonstration by Charles Kelly, on wildlife in watercolour.
Following the earlier demonstration by Paul Talbot-Greaves ‘Winter scene in Watercolour’, the Halifax Art Society met in the morning of Friday, 18th January at All Saints Parish Hall on Godfrey Road in Skircoat Green to paint their own winter scenes. The pictures were many and varied, and everyone had a very enjoyable time.
Our president Paul Talbot-Greaves, associate of the British Watercolour Society, gave a demonstration ‘Winter scene in Watercolour’ on the morning of the 11th of January.
More than 30 people had come to All Saints Parish Hall on Godfrey Road in Skircoat Green to watch and listen. Everyone enjoyed a good experience thanks to our microphone and cameras, giving a good view. Beforehand Paul had drawn in pencil the snowy scene he had photographed in Calderdale.Then he developed his amazing picture in watercolour with interesting comments.
On the 25th January David Starkey will give a ‘Demonstration of Trees in Oils’.
