Goodbye for now.

The English version of our new website is up and running. We have decided to integrate the Blog into the website, so we will no longer be posting new articles here. We will keep this site up and running for those who want to find an older post.

The Hangar Day trip to Auribeau: Video and photo's!

On Wednesday 24 July, an enthusiastic group of drawers and painters drove together to Auribeau, to paint that absolutely gorgeous medieval village.
It was warm, but there were plenty of spots with a great view and enough shadow. After finding the best places, the group started with small drawings of different views.

Most worked with felt pen, but also pencils, bic pen and with colour pencils! Also 1 oil painter (Bev)

Around 12h30 we stopped for a spot of lunch! Ina had booked a table for the group in the restaurant 'Moulin du Sault' and it didn't disappoint! 

We had a fantastic meal, even did some sketching there, and were back in time for a next round of drawing - and painting!

The results of the afternoon session were again wonderful!

 

After the line up,with mots of praise for all the artists, because they had done a very good job,  some of us sat down to get a bit of fluid in that bod' after such a long hot day, and the rest drove back home, feeling good and happy after a creative day in a fabulous place.

Or skip all of the above and watch the Video:

We'll do another one in September!!

Un super Stage de modelage "autour du modèle".

 

Elle reprend ces cours le Jeudi matin, au mois de Septembre. Bonne eté!!

 

Thorenc d'Art 2024

Thorenc d'Art was a two-day event in July. In 2024, the commune of Thorenc invited the Hangar to exhibit in the village as part of their art festival. Pim's painting group took on the challenge. The festival was well attended on Saturday and Sunday morning. Unfortunately, the weather changed and there was a thunderstorm on Sunday lunchtime, which meant that Sunday afternoon saw a lack of attendance. Despite this, there was a lot of interest in Le Hangar painting groups, especially as three members of Pim's group – Tatiana Koltchine, Anya Creaser and Laurie Whiffen – were named as "Laureats" by the mayor and invited onto the stage during the inauguration ceremony to talk about their work at Le Hangar.

3d Party Creative Workshops in the Hangar

Did you know that you can rent the Hangar space to organise creative workshops for your friends or clients and host them yourself or make a deal with one of the teachers to do that for you. It used to be common practise in the Hangar! And last Saturday, Teacher Marina hosted a workshop for a Dutch group of friends. They celebrated a birthday of one of them and wanted to create paintings in the Sunny South of France, with easels and  brushes and lots of paint, like real artists! And what better place to feel like a real artist than the Hangar...

Their Challenge: Create a 'Poster-Style' painting of what the Côte d'Azur means to you.
Their other Challenge: the muddy rain... But being Dutch they couldn't care less😃they are used to a bit of rain and found it pretty warm, especially when accompanied by magnums of Rosé and excellent appetizers!

After Marina's intro they set to work on a sketch, to get their thoughts and symbolism on paper and determine a composition.

They were so serious - and Marina was 'happily surprised with their creativity'

The inspiration came from all directions! Rosé, Cheese, Beach scenes & Nudists as well as spiffy Bikinis

And then Beach chairs, Prawns with lemon, the Fabulous Light (in a not yet finished portrait) & Oysters

Barbecue, more Rosé & an amazing sunset, a very good poster with lots of AZUR blue and more beach chairs... Amazing that none of these painters is an actual artist, they were so talented, original and creative!

 

And then the line-up, with happy faces! 

It was great - and it can be your event as well...
