Abstract classes have resumed

Abstract classes started up again at the beginning of October. For the first lesson everyone just got back in to the mood of abstract painting.

Everyone busy at work.

Above you see Tatiana at work.

Irene trying to decide which way her painting looks best.

Imme has joined the class.

And here is a typical "Anne" abstract

The first common subject for the group to tackle is a combination of abstract and realism.

Above you see the result of Michele's work - an abstract with a drain pipe.

And here you see Imme's work - an abstract and a light bulb.

Sylvette made this inspiring picture.

The car is painted - not from a magazine !

Learning all about colour with Pim - Wednesday 18th May

Wednesdays at the Hangar are usually quite lively days where everyone works on projects they have chosen themselves. Once a month there is a special project, and this month there was a lesson on colours and colour mixing.

Pim walked the group through the colour wheel and how you can mix any colour using primary blue, yellow, red, black and white.

He also explained that different colours could have different visual effects, depending on neighbouring colours.

After an interesting morning session, everyone sat down for a traditional Wednesday outdoor lunch. With 20 people for lunch - the atmosphere was extremely lively.

The afternoon session was quiet in comparison.

Xmas lunch in Pim's Wednesday acrylics group

Of course we are all going to the Hangar for the creative and intellectual challenge! Yet from time to time we also participate in other lovely activities over there and one of our favourites (of all groups by the way) is having lunch together. Last Wednesday, the acrylics class of Pim de Jongh had an exceptionally extensive one, to pre-celebrate Christmas - and here are some pictures to show off how much fun it was!

I hope to be able to post more about this class, because apart from the nice lunches they are also doing great work - every Wednesday from (approiximately) 10am to 16pm....

...sure looks like Gonny is reading a naughty Xmas poem to Pim...

...an hour later Pim is still laughing about it...

Thank you Monique Randazzo for the pictures!!
