We are in week 4 of our critique series and today We are in week 4 of our critique series and today we're introducing Edge! Edge refers to the space where one thing becomes another... Sometimes that edge is really hard and abrupt: A cliff, a strong shadow, an outline. Sometimes an edge is really soft; like the way light dances across our nose and cheek, sunlight across a rose's petal, the way a shadow slowly gives way to light around a sphere. Using the wrong type of edge for a space will instantly do one of two things: cut through your picture and make it look like a cartoon, or nothing will make sense. But using edge well will give your piece instant elevation! So HOW do you use edge well? You learn how to critique!!! And critique isn't something you do once, it's a practice to utilise a million times over and over with each piece you're working on! Which is why we have it on repeat in our classroom and why every single workshop features a little bit on critique! Need more info? Well you're going to have to come and hang out with us sweet friends! We have limited spots in our weekly classes and workshops galore, so why not give your creative self a glow-up and learn some new stuff? Give us a call or text on 0437 146 359 or check out the website at artstree.com.au #brisbaneartclasses #brisbaneartschool #artstree #aligillett #degillettcox #arttheory #bravearts #critique #makemistakes #acrylicpaintingclasses #learnacrylicpainting #weekendworkshop #brisbaneartworkshop #artmakingbrisbane
Workshops workshops workshops workshops! We don't Workshops workshops workshops workshops! We don't know everything there is to know about any one of these topics. In fact, we think you could probably keep on learning art theory forever... But we do know more than the average person wandering around. In fact, quite a few seasoned artists have been to our workshops repeatedly because we go down rabbit holes, friends!!! More importantly, we break it all down for you. We teach you WHY we chose this colour and not that colour. We make mistakes and explain WHY it's a mistake and HOW we can fix it. We paint demo pieces so you can see it all happening in real time AND we share each and every decision we're making. We love them because: - We get to get REAL nerdy about what we're teaching you. - Everyone is in the same boat, and it's a learning boat!!!! - We get to ask stupid questions and answer stupid questions and we all grow smarter. IT'S A DREAM! Tickets are available via our link in bio OR artstree.com.au > SHOP> Workshops in Wynnum.
Do you feel stuck on your artwork? CRITIQUE! Are Do you feel stuck on your artwork? CRITIQUE! Are you uncertain how to move forward? CRITIQUE! Do you wish there was a special tool you could use that could refine your options? CRITIQUE!!!! Good paintings don't need to come as a surprise. They can happen pretty dang consistently but you need to use your tools to get there. Tools that we teach here at Arts Tree! Like: - Drawing Analysis - Colour Theory - Applied Colour Theory AND CRITIQUE!!!!!! We are not gatekeepers of this information, nor did we invent it. We are simply another group of artists passing it on in the same way it arrived for us. Through practical tips, that will rock your gosh darn world!!! If YOU need to learn this kind of stuff in a relaxed, fun, and truly excellent atmosphere then please give us a call! We've got spaces in our weekly classes and monthly workshops to enthral you. 0437 146 359 XXX #brisbaneartclasses #brisbaneartschool #artstree #aligillett #degillettcox #arttheory #critique #fixyourmistakes #bebravemakeart #learnacrylicpainting #weekendworkshop #brisbaneartworkshop #artmakingbrisbane

A few works in progress from the studio classroom A few works in progress from the studio classroom at the moment! We agree, Mum and I, that one of the best things here at Arts Tree is that every student is working on their own piece at their own pace. This means that every class we teach has a little element of surprise thrown in! We've got students painting toy cars, jungles, rivers, flowers, and birds of prey doing what they do best... eating their catch! The most important element that this brings to our classroom is that each student is intrinsically invested in making their paintings come to life. We aren't in the business of pushing our students towards a goal that matters to us or our egos... no no no. We're here FOR our students, and they'll paint the painting that they want to paint, maybe with just a little bit of creative collaboration! If painting in a room of people individually invested in making their own dreams come true sounds amaaaaazing, then why not join up for a weekly class? We've got 4 classes with @brave__arts and 2 classes with @degillettcox... spaces in some of them! Give us a text or a call on 0437 146 359 and find out where we can fit you in! #weeklyartclasses #artlessonsbrisbane #acrylicpaintingclasses #learnacrylicpainting #rainforestpainting #birdofprey #000 #popo #light #reflections
Have you ever painted an image that's filled with Have you ever painted an image that's filled with all the right colours but it just doesn't look right? What about flat? Have you ever painted a piece that looked like pancake? Ever been bored just looking at your painting? Or maybe confused because you don't know where one thing ends and another begins? We would bet good money that you have some Tonal Values to correct!!! We've said it before and we'll say it again, VALUES ARE SUPERIOR TO COLOUR! Tonal Values are what provide form, so if your values are wrong, everything is very same same. Your colours might be different, but if they're not different values they won't be telling the right story.... The story of light and how it travels across the surface of your subject. When you're critiquing your piece and trying to work out what's wrong/ what to do next always check in with 'Tone'. We've listed a couple of ways that we do it in classes here at Arts Tree, but how do you manage to critique your values? Or is this brand new to you and you have NO IDEA what we're talking about? If it's the latter, then stop letting it hold you and your creative practice back! We've got workshops and weekly classes for that! A critique workshop in August. Followed by a Portraiture workshop also in August. And an Applied Colour Theory workshop in October. Basically, when it comes to foundational art making necessities, Arts Tree has your back!

The next workshop off the ranks only has two ticke The next workshop off the ranks only has two tickets left sweet artist loves!

Mum and I will help you to learn as much as you possibly can across the 2 day weekend workshop. Including: drawing, composition, scaling, colour theory, colour matching, tonal values, palette knife skills, how and when to use different mediums.... The list literally goes on! Never painted before? That's cool, manage your expectations and bring a healthy dose of "let's do it anyway!". Quite the expert? Alright then, well, maybe just come and have some fun in a few new ways??? Information packs and tickets are available via artstree.com.au > SHOP > Workshops in Wynnum... or you can head over to the little link in our bio. #brisbaneartclasses #brisbaneartschool #artstree#degillettcox #arttheory #brisbaneartists #weeklyartclasses #artlessonsbrisbane #acrylicpaintingclasses #learnacrylicpainting #weekendworkshop #brisbaneartworkshop #artmakingbrisbane #birdsinflight #birdpainting #nodogs #Paintmovement
Portraiture!!!! Some people like to spread rumours Portraiture!!!! Some people like to spread rumours that it's really hard, but truly, once you know the maths of the face it is easy peasy... or at least that's what our tutors think! These images are just a few from our excellent weekly students, some of whom were painting their very first portrait!! While it may take a little time to get the nuance just right, and quite a few glorious layers of glaze to get the texture of the skin to have the right amount of glow to it... There is nothing more satisfying than capturing THAT person... It's a drug we feel quite happy peddling! If portraiture is something that excites and maybe scares you a bit, we can HIGHLY recommend a weekly class or a portraiture workshop with @brave__arts She's all about making the learning and the nuance accessible, understandable, and will celebrate every small win right beside you. Give us a call on 0437146359 if you'd like more information about a weekly class or a workshop... or head to artstree.com.au to peruse the world of Arts Tree for yourself! #brisbaneartclasses #brisbaneartschool #artstree #aligillett #degillettcox #arttheory #bravearts #brisbaneartists #weeklyartclasses #artlessonsbrisbane #acrylicpaintingclasses #learnacrylicpainting
We walk up to our own and our students paintings w We walk up to our own and our students paintings with the following question in our minds: "What the heck do we do next???". It can be a hard question to answer sometimes! There's never really a wrong answer, and likewise, there's never really a right answer. That's the beautifully annoying thing about art... there's a million different ways to get where you want to go! To simplify those possible next steps here at Arts Tree, we utilise a little critique tool called "Line, Tone, Colour, Edge". This series of points encourage us to get curious about the canvas we're critiquing and we teach it to absolutely every student who walks in our door, so why wouldn't we teach it to you?! And we start off our newest Wednesday series with LINE! AKA drawing errors AKA compositional errors AKA holy shit what's wrong with her hand?? By assessing our errors as we go, we are less likely to end up with a terrible painting at the end, we hope!! Even better, we get to practise making mistakes AND fixing them... Which means our sensitive, artistic souls get practise at being wrong and living to fight another day. Not sure what to do on your canvas next? Stand in front of it and get curious about your drawing and the overall composition. If there are errors, then you know what to do next! If not, you get to celebrate! And of course, if you KNOW that your drawing and critique skills could be better, then come along to a workshop and fill the gap. We would be honoured to pass on the good stuff. We've got two workshops focusing on drawing and critique in July and August 2025, and you can find all the info via our site; artstree.com.au > SHOP > Workshops or... there's always that link in our bio! Follow along for next week's critique; Tone. #brisbaneartclasses #brisbaneartschool #artstree #aligillett #degillettcox #arttheory #bravearts #brisbaneartists #learnacrylicpainting #critique #criticism #linedrawing #composition # #weekendworkshop #brisbaneartworkshop #artmakingbrisbane #learntodraw
