HAG’s guest Tutor for 10am July 20th 2024 will be the well-regarded Havelock North artist Susanne Clark.  We are privileged and delighted to once again have Sue leading an abstract workshop, and advise our members to keep this date free. Details regarding equipment, costs etc will be advised later.  Check out Sue’s Facebook page…. https://www.facebook.com/SusanneClarkArt/


https://www.sporty.co.nz/hastingsartistsgroup/HAG-Facebook?em=1.  See Carole Cornes talk and artwork (Tuesday 18th June) on our Facebook page - see link above.  


Our June meeting’s theme was 'Birds' - of the feathered variety.  For inspiration several skilful, and stunning ‘bird’ paintings by Francis and Ian were on display, some of which can be seen in a "Photos" tab above - look for 2024.   Well done you two!

Those present were delighted (utterly chuffed in fact), with an informative talk by Ian Thompson who spoke of various birds, their characteristics, habitat and their nature’.   This information ‘set the tone’ for a stimulating and productive day of art.  

Tania tried water-colours for the first time, and with Ian’s help she completed a good painting of a kereru/wood pigeon.   As others were unaware of the suggested Bird theme, you will see a selection of other subjects either painted on the day, or before this.

The noisy table of four who appeared to be solving NZ’s - and indeed the whole WORLD’S problems happily painted away with much laughter and some awesome results.

Our next Saturday Club Day will be on July 20th. In the meantime, check out HAG’s other options with Winnie (oils and acrylics), or Ian (water-colours), details of which can be found below...
