Watercolors & OIL - Aquarelle & HUILE

Our last two Mondays will be about the specificities of watercolor painting (Monday 26th) and oil painting (3rd July): experiment a total different feel to material and texture !

The Monday class will continue after the summer break (11th September) as a new module: all techniques & topics; all levels. The same kind of class will take place on Tuesday evenings (starting 12th September).

Ces deux dernières séances portent sur les spécificités et techniques de l'aquarelle (26 juin) et la peinture à l'huile (3 juillet): expérimentez un ressenti complètement différent de texture et matériau.

A la rentrée (11septembre) ce cours des lundis après-midi ce transformera à un cours de toutes techniques et sujets; tous niveaux. En plus j'animerai le même genre de cours les mardis soirs (à partir du 12 septembre).

Hangar drawing and painting trip to Seillans on 28 June

On Wednesday 28 June, the Marinas organize a drawing/painting day trip to the village of Seillans. A serene, provençal village with medieval architecture. With its narrow streets, arches and stairs, each corner will bring you another interesting perspective.
 
We will leave at 9.00 from the Parking Font Neuve in Opio. Car sharing is recommended.

Upon arrival we will find our preferred locations, get instructions and sketch with pencils, fine liners, watercolours (or your own paints).
We will book a lovely lunch, after which we will continue the creative part and either finish or choose another subject.

You will find that there is more than plenty to see and be inspired by!
The trip will cost you 40€ teachers' fee per participant, including materials. Non- Hangar members welcome!
Count on max 30€ for the informal group lunch.
Our absolute maximum is 15 participants, we have 8 so far, so please book by sending an email to artsandcrafts@orange.fr

You will receive a confirmation and more details. 

Our second class in ‘Basics in Painting & Drawing’ was about PERSPECTIVE.

Foundation Course - First Lesson

Yesterday - Monday May 15th our new teacher Märta Wydler held her first of 8 classes. The first class was all about composition and drawing - illustrating how to make a visually more exciting picture.

The first exercise for the 5 participants was a task of drawing wild flowers and artichokes.

The next Foundation session is on Monday May 22nd - and is all about perspective. If you would like to sign up for this class (you do not have to follow every session) - please send Märta a text message to 0665156347 or an email to maerta.wy@gmail.com

Busy weekend activities around The Hangar and the village

The outside of our building and space had some cleanup and reshape this weekend.

Thanks to the help of our new teachers and a few members , we managed to get a lot done.

The tree trunk next to the parking area that had been cut by the Mairie of Chateauneuf de Grasse as it was broken by the storm a month ago, turned in to an art piece. 

               before          &   after

The wooden terrace( our theater area) that was falling apart and was dangerously unusable. So we took it  down as saw that all was rotten underneath too. So we just left the canopy structure and will see what economical way we can find to make something more from it. But in the mean time it is a nice and shady spot for us all to use.

             before & after

The sign that was connected to two trees next to the road before and that was blown away by the storm too,  was succesfully put on our front side and the colorful street number sign was put on the empty  wall around the corner, making our Hangar even more visible from all sides.

At the yearly Fete d'Agriculture of Chateauneuf de Grasse which usually attracts a lot of visitors and certainly did this year, one of our new teachers distributed Hangar flyers. So hoping for some new members to join our Hangar community.

Thanks to all those that helped out.
