Marina's Life drawing Challenges

Although the Hangar remains closed for the coming time, there are some activities here and there. As you could read in the latest Newsletter, there are online classes, by 

Marina Teding van Berkhout, 

Francesca Messina 

and yours truly, Marina Kulik, with free watercolour classes (Sign up via this form)

This post is showing some results of the online Life Drawing Challenge we have every other week.

Peinture, créé par René, qui s'est laissé inspirer par tous les modèles nous avons travaillé avec lors des sessions précédentes. Pour moi, c'est Picasso et Chagall réunis. Bien fait!

The challenge runs entirely by email (Eng and Fra) and if you want to join you can subscribe to it via this email link, subject:"Life drawing Challenge" -

Le défi se déroule entièrement par e-mail (en anglais et français) et si vous souhaitez vous inscrire, vous pouvez vous y abonner via ce lien e-mail, objet: "Life Drawing Challenge"

 

 

The only thing you have to do is choose one of the pictures of nudes that are attached to the mails and create a drawing of that nude 

   

La seule chose que vous devez faire est de choisir l'une des photos de nus qui sont attachées aux courriers et de créer un dessin de ce nu

 

 You will keep training your eye-hand coordination, and your drawing(s) will be published in the next mail to the group. And of course they are photo's, they sit very very still which is slightly easier!

 

Vous continuerez à entrainer votre coordination œil-main, et vos dessins seront publiés dans le prochain mail adressé au groupe. Et naturellement ils sont des photos, immobiles, donc un peu plus facile!

 

 

  The challenge is for everyone, and you get free advice about your drawings if you like.

Le défi est pour tout le monde, et vous obtenez des conseils gratuits sur vos dessins si vous le souhaitez.

It only stops when we can go back to the Hangar and draw 'Live' 

Cela ne s'arrête que lorsque nous pouvons retourner au hangar et dessiner 'Live'

 

 

Again, if you are interested in participating, mailto the Hangar Address and we will put you on the mailinglist! Looking forward to it...
Donc - si vous êtes intéressés à participer, envoyez un email à l'adresse du Hangar et nous vous mettrons sur la liste de diffusion! Dans l'attente ...

Pim's art in Le Relais in Les Adrets!

Today I went to Le Relais in Les Adrets to deliver a couple of Aquarellista Cookbooks and pick up some yummy takeaway (scroll down for menu and link, really recommended!!!) 

Of course the restaurant is closed, but when you order a meal you can wait inside - and when looked at the walls I saw work of... PIm!!

It is a modest collection, but it looks really good on their walls. I only took some pictures as proof, I know you 'll want to see it for real, so give the owners Rob & Mark a call and order some of their fab food. (For the dutchees: they have kroketjes!) They can use our support in these difficult times...

 

The restaurant is in the centre of Les Adrets, less than a half hour drive from the Hangar!

Address: 4 rue Grande, 83600 Les Adrets de l'Esterel, Phone: +33 4 94 53 50 92

 

 

Here's the take away menu -with family discount- for this week:

LE Aquarellista Cookbook

 

 

As we could not have an exhibition this period, the Aquarellistas decided to showcase their watercolours in a book. A heavy, beautiful illustrated recipe book. It has 110 pages with fantastic recipes, mains, starters, desserts and also cocktails! Most of the recipes are personal favourites of the artists. You can count on tasty comfort food and the best paintings!

In the meantime, there have been 132.913 visitors, and this is the 852nd post!!

Today we have Pim for Drawing and Acrylics (abstract and figurative), Nelly for Oils (atelier libre), Josie for Printmaking and Childrens' workshops, Francesca for Art Therapy, Marina T for Portrait, Cold Wax and oil techniques, Marie for Sculpture (Christie has unfortunately passed away), Katy for Ceramics and Marina K (yours truly) for Life drawing and Watercolours. 

The Hangar is still doing well, despite this period of lockdown and other measures, and has a reputation for being 'the best (and most convivial) art school on the Côte'!

Ceramics on Wednesday Evenings

We have a new teacher! Her name is Katy Des Fontaines and she is going to teach Ceramics. You will soon be able to meet her and her technique. Like in Marie's sculpture class, the material is clay - but it is definitely no sculpture that Katy is going to teach. In her class you will create interesting and special refined art with some special techniques. And of course you will learn all there is to know about glazing.

On Wednesday evening, 28 October, from 6.30pm there will be a try-out lesson, your free-of-charge opportunity to meet Katy and get hands-on experience on the materials, your preparation and an impression of the class.

This free workshop takes place in the Hangar.
