About us
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

Watercolour Basics

In just one session you will fall in love with this easy to set up and easy to clean up Art medium that gives instant results. You’ll have the opportunity to practise all techniques before applying your new skills to make an artwork I’m sure you’ll be proud of. I will demonstrate techniques, give individual guidance and discuss the pros and cons of the variety of paints, papers and brushes that are on the market.

Splat ‘n’ Chat – 4 x Wednesday Sessions
Manly West Studio, Treetop Place, Manly west, Brisbane, AUThese fabulous sessions are for people with some experience, who want to learn more, practice, make friends, explore ideas, ask for feedback, and share their expertise and most of all, set aside TIME to be productive.
Each session allows you to work side by side with like-minded people while doing your own project independently, to avoid creative blocks and lack of motivation.
Splat ‘n’ Chat sessions are designed so we can support and encourage each other! Perfect if you’re a procrastinator!
This is a mixed ability group that is all about helping you create more and enjoy doing it!
I know that whatever level you’re at, it’s often find it difficult to escape your chores and make time for your passion.
You will be amazed at how I can help you to increase your productivity and expand your ideas.
MY STUDIO SPACE IS YOURS so that together we help each other to articulate our ‘Arty thoughts’ and get our projects finished.
