What we’re about
This group is for anyone who has always wanted to take art lessons and finally decided to do so. After working in schools for the past 30 years, and with my new Diploma of Art Therapy, I have developed a unique teaching system that is more than just learning skills. I know the health benefits of living a creative life. I help people develop their creative side so they can use art-making to learn, grow, heal, make friends and find enjoyment.
In 2009, my husband of 22 years, lost his battle with Depression. My life was turned upside down in an instant! Art became invaluable to me while I grieved and by 2016 I was ready to launch Studio Yellow. I now share what I've learned personally (and professionally) with others because I really believe Art helps to make life worth living.
While everyone is welcome, I started Studio yellow to reach out to adults who feel they really need to start 'ART' from the very beginning. My classes combine everything I know about art materials and techniques with everything I have learnt about fostering creativity from the 100s of students I have taught during my career. As a fully qualified, registered Art teacher, I make every class relaxed and informative so you will learn how to enjoy the creative process in a completely non-judgemental atmosphere. With lots of personal attention, absolute beginners feel particularly supported.
You will meet people who have always had art in their heart but have had little or no opportunity to learn how to do it. I also run sessions for those with some Art experience who are looking to reignite their confidence or work in a collaborative art space. Our members also meet up socially at Galleries and Exhibition openings and anywhere else that takes our fancy.
My classes are held in Manly West on Brisbane's beautiful bayside on weekdays and Saturdays!! I also offer Corporate workshops such as my '5 Steps to unlock Positive, Proactive and Productive teams'. A full list of classes and workshops are listed on my website (www.studioyellow.com.au).
I love changing lives for the better, through Art as I truly believe all Art is therapy. I urge you to nurture your mental health forever by starting a healthy hobby today!
I look forward to meeting you soon, Natalie

- Happy by Nature – Nature JournalingManly West, Manly WestAUD 115.00
Nature nurtures! So, I have created a workshop to help you appreciate and document the natural world around you. Join me for an afternoon of positivity and gentle tuition to discover for yourself that any time spent drawing what you observe about nature is never time wasted.
Creating a Nature Journal is the perfect way to escape from technology and focus your thoughts on the variety and beauty that is lurking outside (and inside) your home.
It is well known that nature can calm the soul and journalling remind us just take a moment, be observant, and breathe in our surroundings.
Using charcoal, pencils, pens, watercolour, coloured pencils and water-soluble drawing media you will deepen your understanding of ‘HOW TO DRAW’ using ‘nature’ as your inspiration.
This workshop is for you if:
- you’re looking for a way to press pause reduce stress and practise mindfulness.
- you’re a complete beginner looking for guidance and instructions to build your drawing confidence.
- you already have some drawing ability but you need a few hours to focus and enjoy the breathing space this workshop offers.
- you’re a gardener or you like to travel and explore the great outdoors.
- you’re ready to make ordinary pencil sketches jump off the page and look more sophisticated by applying a variety of easy techniques.
I’ll show you how to combine your love of nature and your interest in art all in one sketchbook that you will treasure forever. Journalling is a great way to get you back in touch with your creativity and record everything you see, think and feel.
It’s time to experience how the simple act of drawing nature can change any ordinary day into a day of wonder and joy.
By the end of the session, you will be taking home an A5 journal (supplied) filled with drawing samples plus loads of ideas for doing more drawing in the future.
Absolute beginners welcome.
This workshop perfectly complements my “Everything You need to Know about Drawing” and vice versa.
