The Hangar Spring Trip 2024 testdrive!

It is a true Hangar tradition, the Hangar Spring Trip. For the last one in 2022, we went to Les Alpilles and settled  in the lovely village of Fontvieille. We drew and painted that breathtaking area for a long weekend (Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday morning). (To see the pictures click here). Teachers Marina T and Marina K made sure everyone got the best out of their talents, and next to a great creative exercise, it was incredibly refreshing and convivial. Everybody loved the location so much that we decided right there that the next trip was going to be in the same area. So, our Chief Organiser Ina Carels researched and found a different but just as interesting place to draw and paint: Arles.

Arles is a city in the Bouches-du-Rhône, annexed to his empire by Julius Caesar in the 1st century BC. He made it the capital of Roman Provence. The town prospered and the Amphitheatre, Théâtre Antique and Thermes de Constantin were constructed (they still stand today).

As the Roman Empire collapsed during the 5th century, Arles went into decline, but large parts are still there, ready to be drawn and painted! All those monuments are inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1981. And as you all know, Arles was also home to the painter Vincent van Gogh.

The Marinas and Ina went there last weekend to check if it was as promising as it seemed, and YES! we experienced SO much beauty, interesting sites and feelings of awe with the old Roman structures, buildings and artefacts. And on top of that, the paintings of van Gogh, who lived in Arles for some time and was quite productive there. So - if it was good for him, it will be for us and indeed there are great spots to draw and paint everywhere!

Decision made, we will go there for the 2024 Spring Trip. We have even booked a hotel and decided on the dates: 7,8 and 9 June. You can already subscribe, just let Ina or one of the Marinas know. All the details and more info are in the mail that you will receive shortly. 

We already look enormously forward to it!

WE HAVE NEW STATUTES 

    and house rules now  /

on a des nouvelles statutes et règles de fonctionnement

OUR  ANNUAL  General Meeting , that took place last Friday evening, was a very productive one .

The atmosphere was good, the Board's President gave an extensive overview of what has been done this year and what the board has planned to do more this coming year.

Main things that were mentioned are the website update, more attention to internet marketing, beside our standard program.

This coming spring , the Hangar art trip will be back too!

The president thanked all volunteers.

A clear and transparent financial overview was given

 and the budget was agreed on.

The vice- president then explained the necessity of the update of our statutes that originated from 1999, the year that our association was founded, and the implementation of house rules.

They will be available at the hangar .

The board continues without Thecla Brand , she was thanked for her great help.

There was time for questions and ideas were exchanged about better visibility of the Hangar.

 The board can not do this all on its own. 

So please , if you have a bit of time and want to help our great community continue to flourish......please let the board know.

We then ended with a drink and a nibble together.

 Merci beaucoup

HANGAR TRIP TO CABRIS

On Wednesday 20 September, the last Hangar drawing day trip was organized, and 12 enthusiastic drawers travelled to Cabris. They were actually quite brave, because the weather forecast was far from good! 

We arrived around 10 and quickly set up to draw the amazing landscape, the quaint little streets - and each other...

It wasn't exactly sunny, but not cold and the view was misty and wonderful. We had a fantastic time creating a lot of sketches, in everyone's personal styles and materials. The teachers (both Marinas) were over the moon with the variation of good results! [Story continues after the sketches]

Around 12.30 the first raindrops started falling - we had all brought umbrellas and raincoats and we made it, more or less dry, to the restaurant. Had a nice and reasonably priced meal, and of course wonderful chats, about art and about life. And in the meantime, the rain splashed on the roof - and then it was sunny all of a sudden - and then the rain started again. 

Four of us called it a day and went home after lunch - they had crazy storms on the way back. And the die-hards - they stayed! We found us a nice covered terrace of the local pub, with as other guests some French regulars, who stayed inside, and outside, keeping us company, a group of English Rugby enthusiasts on holiday. We drew the view from the pub, and we drew the group of guys (who were singing and telling jokes, and were delighted to be our free-of-charge models) 

 

 The participants who weren't there will be sorry they missed out, because we had so much fun that we actually forgot the time! It will probably be next year before we go on day trips again, but we already look forward to it. It definitely got the best out of all of the artists!

 

 

 

Les NOUVEAUX COURS / the NEW CLASSES

The NEW CLASSES have started !

Les NOUVEAUX COURS ont commencé !

Monday/Tuesday 18th/19th the theme will be DRAWING.
You'll see that's it's much easier than one could imagine...if we use our artistic approach. We'll see that with the topic of animals.
___________________________________________________________

Lundi/Mardi 18/19 septembre, le thème sera le DESSIN.
Vous allez voir qu'il est plus facile de ce qu'on peut penser, si on s'y prend avec un œil artistique ;-). On verra ça avec le sujet d'un animal.

A bientôt & see you soon !

Summer Party at the Hangar, weekend of 8 & 9 July

It was a big succes;                                                  ( text en francais en bas)

Organised by the teachers and the board, with help and donations of many members, visited by around 200 members, friends and visitor, hopefully future members.

It was a new concept of enjoying this Hangar year's end with an in-house exposition, an open house to show our great community and atmosphere combined with animation and a Tombola with great prizes.

At the end of the day everything was taken down and brought back in to the state as it was before, as nothing had happened.....to be ready for a new week of art classes. Good show of The Hangar Spirit 

                                                        Great job and thanks to all the helpers.

Organisé par le conseil d'administration et les enseignantes, avec donnes et aides de plusieurs membres ,

La fete est visités par 200 membres, familles et visiteurs ( des membres potentiel)

les mots de notre Presidente:

Hangar Painting and Drawing trip to Seillans II

On Wednesday 28 June, 9 enthusiastic drawers & painters drove to beautiful Seillans with a minimum of cars, to enjoy a creative 'plein air' day!


Everyone agreed it was a great success, Seillans is a one-hour drive from the Hangar...

and it has so many beautiful spots...

 

we could be there for a week and still have plenty of inspiration...


We managed to have a fabulous and convivial lunch for under 20€ in Le Maquis - and then went on drawing and painting. Here are some results:

And just in: Bev's awesome Oil Painting (all finished!) :

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).
