Pim's Monday Morning Drawing class

In the summer -or let me rephrase that- Whenever the weather is good enough, Pim goes out with a group to draw outside. Villages, views, plants, animals - always a great thing too do and very popular! When the weather is not good enough, the group stays inside and they draw still lives.
Always an adventure, as Pim's still lives are GREAT!!
Last time he had a couple of colourful play balls.Here are some action photo's, thank you Anna!

Pim's drawing class takes place on Monday mornings, from 9.30 - noon (ish). They alternate with Marina's life model classes. If you want to join, or need more info, or want to know which class is when, you can subscribe to our weekly newsletter via info@hangarart.org

AGM - 31 October 2018

 On Wednesday evening 31 October, the Annual General Meeting took place, in the Hangar. It was not overly crowded, due probably to the weather. And maybe also because a lot of members think it is not for them, and fear it maybe a bit boring - but of course it isn't: it is the Hangar! 

Lots of fun, news and an opportunity to give your input and share your ideas. 

Here's a little bit of what you missed:

 Former Hangar president Anton Dikken, now in the audit committee, gave a humorous exposé to explain that the books of the Hangar are satisfactory

 

President Ton van Schijndel presented a retrospective of the season 2017/2018, presented the board and the responsibilities for the coming year (Sylvie Morlière and Wil Dekkers step back, Cassie West and Arie van Limborgh are new board members) and gave the ins and outs on our membership. Vice-president Marijke Obbink had other updates and the good news about the record  number of membership fees already paid, the new successful activities, like workshops, new classes and short cultural and landscape drawing trips.

 Treasurer Wil steps back and receives a nice bottle by way of consolation. He will be followed by Arie van Limborgh (not present because he is still honeymooning!)

It is clear that our association is booming, creative, independent and free spirited. And also that it is run by volunteers - who work very hard. Much appreciated and we could definitely use more 'helping hands'. If you are interested in being active, tell your teacher! 

After the official part, there was a convivial get-together with excellent drinks and nibbles. Pim told one of his best jokes ever (everyone agreed) about the lady, the hairdresser and the pope. If you want to hear it, make sure you'll be there next year! Around 10pm we closed up and went home, with still some evening left.

We are good for another year and look forward to seeing you on the next AGM!

South of France English Theatre presents: Anton Dikken!

Didn't want to keep the following for you: you may know that the previous president of the Hangar board, honorary member Anton Dikken, is a talented painter and drawer. But it may be new to you that he is also a gifted actor!
 
Anton will perform on 6 occasions in the SET theatre in Le Cannet, as one of the leading characters in 'The Ladykillers' by Graham Lineham.

"Come and see this charming black comedy about five gentlemen planning a major robbery under the nose of their innocent elderly landlady. Posing as musicians, they must convince her of their disguise until everything goes horribly wrong... "

(Yes, you've seen it correctly, Sally Ducrow is the actual star in this play!)

Friday - Sunday 12,13,14 and 19,20 and 21 October.

163 Rue Saint Sauver, Le Cannet

Hangar Daytrip to Tourtour

It is already some time ago that a small group of drawing enthusiasts went to the lovely village of Tourtour for the last mini-trip of the year! It was Friday 21 September, 9am when we drove away from the Hangar and 10.30 we arrived in this typical Provençal picturesque village with lovely streets and nice terrasses! We started with a cup of coffee...

In the meantime we also checked the best spots to draw. We were spoiled for choice, Tourtour is  high on the list of  ‘les plus beaux villages de France’ for a reason! 

I don't have pictures of all the drawings and will happily add them later if the artists send them to me!

 Patrick and Brenda both started with the arch with the bell tower(ette)

 Brenda's version, awesome as always!

 Patricks' - completely different in style!

 There was a tree in the middle of the parc that was losing its leaves and Patrick caught that in his second drawing

 

Of course Bev, Karin & Sylvia created drawings in the morning too. But no pics yet! Anyway - here's a record of them doing what they like best: 

Around 12.30 we sat down for a lovely lunch in a local non-touristy restaurant. The food was fabulous, so was the wine - and the service, the company, in short -the general atmosphere!

Around 2pm we went back to sketching and drawing with renewed energy!

 The contrast of trees and architecture by Sylvia

 and a glimpse of a typical Tourtour street, drawn by Brenda. 

The village pump by Patrick

Sylvia working on her contrast of foliage and architecture...

 
There were also excellent drawings by Bev and Karin - if they read this: please send pics of your drawings to me and I will add them and re-post!



More minitrips to look forward to in 2019! So watch this space...
