THE FIRST WORKSHOP OF 2025!!! And we're starting THE FIRST WORKSHOP OF 2025!!! And we're starting off with a doozy, a real mind-spinner and possibly one of the easiest ways to lift your painting practice... Introducing... Negative Painting!!! A staple of the work by our founder, De Gillett Cox. But we can't expect ya'll to buy tickets to something you don't even understand so please swipe through the images and have a little learning moment. And then, when your brain has soaked it in we would recommend you head on over to our website so that you can book yourself a sweet weekend where you'll be learning all about how to do it for yourself! Each student will be working on their own painting from their own source image while our tutors, De and Ali, will be walking everyone through the steps, choices, and processes along the way. Pro tip: If you're feeling a bit scared that you won't get it, but you'd be excited to be able to... You're our ideal student! March 22 and 23, $500 for the weekend. artstree.com.au > SHOP > Workshops > Negative Painting #negativepainting #learnaboutart #weekendworkshop #brisbaneartworkshop #artmakingbrisbane #newtechniques #findingspace
Have you ever been to a class or a workshop here a Have you ever been to a class or a workshop here at Arts Tree??? Have you ever enjoyed the thrill and good vibes of a room full of like-minded artists? Because if you have we would love for you to leave a google review for us! Despite being open and THRIVING for 13 years we only have 2 reviews on google. We guess it hasn't really mattered all these years because ya'll seem to spread the word regardless.... However, if you do have an honest experience to share we would bloody love to hear it! Simply type 'Arts Tree reviews' into google and you'll be able to see what's there (shout out to Ruth and Maria) as well as find prompts to leave your own experience. Can't be bothered? That's cool, just type a comment here and we'll use it anyway! Thank you to all the brave souls who have visited us in Wynnum and shared your canvases with us. We truly appreciate every single one of you. xxx Team Arts Tree. #leaveareview #brisbaneartclasses #brisbaneartschool #artstree #weeklyartclasses #artlessonsbrisbane #acrylicpaintingclasses #learnacrylicpainting
Back in 2020, after the spicy cough came and rocke Back in 2020, after the spicy cough came and rocked our world... we hosted our first and kind of last Negative Painting workshop. Why? We're not sure... Regardless, it's back baby!!!!! Have a scroll through and you'll see what some of our students achieved across the weekend all those years ago. But basically, negative painting is achieved through painting AROUND your object. pics 2 & 3) The original background was all those reds and yellows that have since become leaves. pic 4) The background was the colour you can see for those mangrove roots, we painted around them with opaque blue. pic 5) The background was those deep blues that are now the shadows of people standing on a beach. See how we've painted around the positive shape of our object, thus filling in the negative space???? Are you confused? GOOD! Come to the workshop and we'll explain it all there! Head on over to our website and you'll find all the information RIGHT THERE including the info pack with all of your material needs: artstree.com.au > SHOP > Workshops Got questions?

The greatest gift our studio classroom brings is b The greatest gift our studio classroom brings is being able to see how bloody WEIRD works in progress truly are! By seeing other people make mistakes and try new things... we get to practise those things... we guess it's a type of exposure therapy! So have a swipe and tell us what you think is happening. After one class and being brand new to drawing and painting in acrylics... What is our student painting???? #workinprogress #wip #brisbaneartclasses #brisbaneartschool #artstree #artlessonsbrisbane #acrylicpaintingclasses #learnacrylicpainting
#studentwork Did you know you can repaint over ol #studentwork Did you know you can repaint over old canvasses you don't care for anymore? This student came to us last year and her very first piece was delightful... at the time. However, new year new you and all of a sudden she just wasn't vibing it that much... See pic 2. We have two options here: 1) Hold onto something we don't really like just because we painted it that one time. AND spend $$$ on a new canvas. 2) Paint over it and reuse that beautiful canvas! Whilst we can feel attached to previous pieces we've created, they'll end up literally suffocating us if we don't get rid of them or recycle what we can. Also, art is an expensive hobby, save where you can! ONE THING: Take a photo before you paint over it! Feeling pride over what we've created never goes out of fashion, so make sure you've got proof of all your good work while you keep on making new stuff. Now, go for a walk around the house and plan some transformations! xxx #brisbaneartclasses #brisbaneartschool #artstree #brisbaneartists #weeklyartclasses #artlessonsbrisbane #acrylicpaintingclasses #newcanvaswhodis #newlife #repaint #redusereuserecycle

One of the hardest part of any painting process is One of the hardest part of any painting process is being able to see through the next layers, and trust that you'll be able to deal with whatever pops up. We display all of student's works in progress around our classroom for two reasons; 1) We have to, it's a storage thing. 2) We ALL get to see the weird, wacky, and sometimes awful points along the way to a finished piece. So, with this in mind, can you guess what this student is painting??? Hint: It is a rather famous piece by a rather famous artist. Put your guesses in the comments and we'll see what everyone's picking up! #brisbaneartclasses #brisbaneartschool #artstree#artlessonsbrisbane #acrylicpaintingclasses #guessthepainting #splatter #spatter
#studentwork Have you ever tried creating your ow #studentwork Have you ever tried creating your own unique image from collaged ideas? That's exactly what one of our students is doing here... Creating a love canvas (is that a thing?) that captures just some of the greatness that the Beatles and Paul McCartney have brought into her life. The composition is still being played with but we've got bits and pieces from all of her favourite albums, her fave picture of Paul himself and all sorts of meaningful trinkets thrown around. Not surprisingly, this piece is taking longer to come to life than simply capturing the elegance of an already created image or scene... Which can be frustrating for new artists! Frequently, while we may have an innate knowing of what we're after, actually creating that image can be mighty hard! Most often we come to the solution through endless renditions of what doesn't work... Just like Eddison, Ford, Davinci, and all the other great inventors that have lived on this earth. Artists are scientists, make no mistake! And that's why having an experienced tutor who has worked in those artistic trenches can be so dang beneficial... While we can't do the work for you, we can at least commiserate, encourage, and cry in frustration with you! We have limited spaces in our classes at the moment so why not join us for your 2025 year of creativity????!!! 0437 146 359 #brisbaneartclasses #brisbaneartschool #artstree #weeklyartclasses #artlessonsbrisbane #acrylicpaintingclasses #learnacrylicpainting #paintyourownway #uniqueart #thebeatles #kimlovespaul4eva
