Light Fantastic Decorations
6th December 2024 – Today’s workshop was organised and led by Mark Siggins and Helen Somerville. Mark brought in his some of his own designs painted on bottles, jars, ramekins etc. and explained the pros and cons of different techniques he used. He also provided lots of material and pictures to help us with our own creations. We all had an enjoyable morning and the final results looked absolutely ‘fantastic’ especially with the lighting.
Paint Anything SCOTTISH
29th November 2024 – As it was St Andrew’s Day, members were invited to wear anything Scottish. Unfortunately Kate was unable to lead this workshop so Lynne kindly stepped in. Lynne explained the many different objects and photos that were available to help inspire our artwork. Lynda had the difficult job of choosing the 3 best Scottish themed pictures and each artist won a prize, well done. We also enjoyed refreshments which included haggis and shortbread biscuits. Thank you to all who contributed to a great morning.
Louis BENOIT
15th November 2024 – Louis talked about places where he studied, how he met his hero and mentor, Ralph Steadman, and explained his thought process in the production of a short animated film we watched. We all had a go using ink, bamboo sticks and brushes trying out his technique of splashing ink/water on paper and letting our imagination run free to create an image. Thank you to Moira and Louis for an enjoyable morning.
Buildings of HALIFAX
8th November 2024 – Lynda brought in a lot of black and white photographs, taken by David Williams at the Calderdale Industrial Museum, that depicted some of the many beautiful buildings around Halifax town centre. Members enjoyed the challenge of recreating the very intricate and interesting details of the buildings.
