Art classes @ Studio Yellow - Brisbane

If you ever wanted to paint a canvas-like “real” Artists do, but don’t know where to start, this workshop is your dream come true. Even if you can’t remember ever holding a paintbrush before, you will quickly feel at ease when you’re shown my tried and tested techniques, using acrylic paints and a range of mediums and additives. You will have the opportunity to learn about and experiment with the materials, so you can discover the effects you like the most, before using them to create abstract or semi-abstract artwork on a canvas. You’ll be guided and supported a little or a lot depending on your wishes, with honest advice and feedback.

This workshop teaches traditional and non-traditional ways to apply paint and encourages you to think outside the box. I provide plenty of fuel to develop your confidence and creativity, with actual demonstrations and lots of examples. I’ll guide you through this ‘open-ended’ learning experience, where you have the choice to copy my suggestions or create a painting based on your own ideas (If you already have an idea for your painting, please bring an image with you on the day).

What’s included:

1. A complete painting experience
2. Step by step instructions
3. Organisational ideas and advice on resources you need to set up your home studio
4. Tea/coffee and light snacks
5. An apron for use on the day
6. Brushes and other painting tools, pallets, water jars
7. Acrylic paint and painting mediums
8. 1 x canvas (40cm x 50cm)

​My unique ART MENTORING PROGRAM, located in Manly West near Wynnum is both fun and therapeutic. There are 8 modules offered per year. Each Module offers new content, so you can continue your creative journey for 12 months before ever repeating a lesson. You can start any time of the year and if you miss a module you can complete them in any order.

You’ll be learning Art to love life.

My art-journaling style program allows you to ‘taste test’ a wide variety of different media while you build Art skills and Art confidence. As your mentor, I will show you how to develop a creative mindset as you create pages of ideas and “samplers” that can be used to inspire large works later.

The journaling format also means you’ll make more art in less time AND because a journal takes up less space, you can easily continue your new passion at home. You can even work on your lap when the kids are awake!!

​What’s included: I supply all the materials, equipment, and resources needed for classes, as well as a beautiful A4 ART journal to keep forever. PLUS I give you BONUS daily journal prompts (each week) to inspire more creativity at home, Complimentary Tea/coffee too!

Every Tuesday for 4 weeks – May 27, June 3, 10, 17

Create Unique, Textured Paper for Your Art Projects

Handmade paper is more than just fun to make. It’s an amazing process that allows you to add depth and character to your paper-based art projects. Why use mass-produced blank paper when you can upcycle raw materials to create paper with unique qualities and one-of-a-kind textures?

By the end of this hands-on workshop, you will have made multiple pages, that you can take home and use for all kinds of projects including painting, drawing, printmaking, and mixed-media artworks. Plus, you will have the know-how to make many more pages with instructions included on how to create your own papermaking deckle and mould.

Embrace Your Creative Freedom, as you:

1. Learn how to make paper out of a variety of natural and man-made materials.
2. Experiment with the colour, thickness, and texture of each page you make.
3. Discover ways to ‘prepare’ your paper for use with different art media, and be inspired to create handmade greeting cards, bookmarks, hanging ornaments, and stationery (after your paper has had time to dry).
4. Admire what you have made, possibly deciding to frame the most interesting piece (as is), allowing the paper to tell its unique story.

Papermaking is a creative skill that makes your art hobby more affordable and less wasteful. You’ll be able to repurpose all the wastepaper scraps from your studio (or office) and transform them into something beautiful.

The possibilities are endless.
