OOOOOh yeah, this one is a bit weird, a bit off centre... Like most of our students to be honest!

This series is all about sharing the wild and weird adventure of creating a finished masterpiece, all painted by our delightful students and helped along by their tutors @degillettcox and @brave__arts

We ask our students to 'trust the process' but that's easier said than done! So here's our version of exposure therapy, to get YOU used to the process as well!

Tell us, can you guess what our student is painting????

Look, we aren't perfect at drawing here at Arts Tree but we DO have many, many, many tricks to share with you!

Like using a humble sheet of acetate and a whiteboard marker to help you draw.

Ali started using this little duo when working with teenagers a few years ago. She needed a tool that would take the argument out of the teaching process.... Funnily enough, it works well with adults too!

This pile of chilli peppers that a student is painting was a bit complicated... Literally hundreds of peppers to draw.
The way we see it there's 2 options:
1) Decide to do something else... OR
2) SIMPLIFY what you're trying to achieve!

By putting a sheet of acetate over your source image you can easily mark out the biggest, most general shapes that are vital to to the image actually making sense.

Notice how they just look like weird shapes?
NICE! This means that you'll be able to draw them correctly because you're not getting caught up in the detail... YET! (there's plenty of time for that later).

The point of drawing is to get us started making mistakes on our canvas.
So make your first mistakes with the biggest, most general shapes you can. Correct those and get more specific as you go.

Need some help with your drawing?
We've got weekly classes and workshops just for that!!!

Beginning steps are always hard in the creative sp

Beginning steps are always hard in the creative space... You need to feel comfortable while you leap into the void.

You don't know what the next step is.
You don't know that it's going to be ok.
You don't know if you can trust yourself, and to be honest your teacher is a bit crazy....

SO what do you do?

You dive, headfirst into that void and hope for the god-damn best!!!
Just like this student!
Can you guess what she's painting???

Beginning of class, end of class, beginning of class, end of class....

Here's a series of 4 student works with photos taken at the beginning and the end of the 2.5hr. class....
In some of them the differences are quite large, while some are a little more nuanced, but the link that joins them together- They're all a little bit further along!

The next layer of mistakes have been made!

Which means we can proceed with next layer of corrections and mistakes and so on and so forth until we reach an end point.

Keep on going!!!
Is your painting ugly now? Good, keep on going!

It is THROUGH the mistakes that we end up perfected, but we do have to push THROUGH!

Feeling like you need a teacher to help you through those hard, ugly parts????
We got you Boo!!!

Weekly classes Tuesday to Thursday, seats available in most!
Give us a call on 0437 146 359 and book a free trial.
We dare ya!

30-Minute Masterpieces: A One-Day Painting Sprint

30-Minute Masterpieces: A One-Day Painting Sprint

Creativity loves a deadline! This workshop is all about embracing time limits to make faster decisions, trust your artistic instincts, and break free from overthinking.

We know it works—because Ali built this method to get the hell out of her own way!

30-Minute Masterpieces is a high-energy approach that distils all the nerdy art theory Ali loves into fast, focused action. You’ll dive into the essential skills that help you get out of your head and onto the canvas… and trust us, onto the canvas we’ll get!

In just one day, you’ll complete three paintings while learning drawing analysis, value studies, colour theory, and the fine art of critique. It’s a lot—but dang, it’s good!

Who’s it for?
Anyone ready to loosen up, paint boldly, and have fun. No experience required—just bring your curiosity.

Want to see what can happen in 30 minutes? Scroll on through the pictures and see some demonstration pieces painted by the Queen bee, Ali, during past workshops.

Sound like a fun, action-packed, thrill of a day??? Head over to our website for your information pack and all your ticket purchasing needs.

A guess a day keeps the doctor away???? That's no

A guess a day keeps the doctor away????
That's not the saying but how about you give it a go any way?

This series is all about sharing the weird, wonderful, and wacky ways our canvases transform as we keep on keeping on.

Our paintings sometimes look terrible.
Our paintings sometimes make us doubt ourselves.
Our paintings can be a bit mean sometimes (or maybe that's us?)....

But the only way out is through.

So, can you guess what our student is painting????

#studentwork Portraits are always a bit of tricky

#studentwork

Portraits are always a bit of tricky fun, it's why our tutor Ali loves them so much (hi, it's me!). This is one of her students 2nd-ish portrait with us, using layers of luminous glaze to bring about glow.

There's a right and a wrong with faces that just isn't there with more ephemeral, loose things like flowers and landscapes. We know faces so well!
We know if a tooth is painted on the wrong angle IMMEDIATELY, and it takes rigour to work out those final mistakes.

Swipe back and forth between these two pictures... Can you see the subtle differences?
What's happened?
Where did it happen?
What was the effect?

We'll give you a hint, not much happened! A stroke here, a correction there, and all of a sudden, pow!!!!

This type of detailed work takes time and patience to learn... and we've got some workshops coming up this year that will teach you the skills you need.
Keep swiping to see what's available and head over to artstree.com.au > SHOP > Workshops to find out more!

A full list for you of all of our delicious little workshop treats we've got coming up for 2025!
In our workshops we try to give you a slice of the stuff we really enjoy creating as well as the individual skills we use to create them.

We couldn't create the work we do without the foundational skills of drawing, fixing our drawings, and then working with colour theory. Never skip the foundations people!!!!

March: Negative Painting
- This is about allowing room for a little bit of unexpected magic to show up on your canvas. A bit of a brain strain to begin with but a glorious tool to add to your kit!

May: 30 Minute Masterpieces
- Working with time restriction as a part of your practice is a very fun and fast-paced way of getting out of your head and onto your canvas. 1 day, 3 paintings, strap in!!

June: Birds in Flight
- De Gillett Cox shares all the tips and tricks she's uncovered to create whimsical, movement-filled homages to our feathered friends.

July: I Can't Draw
- Drawing is not a talent, it's a skill and we're here to teach it to you! Stop letting your limitations make the rules and learn how to draw like the great masters.

August: My Drawing Is Wrong
- After you've learnt HOW to draw comes the next best and biggest skill, how to CORRECT your inevitable mistakes!

August: Colourful Portraits
- Skin tone? What's that? And why stick to skin when there's so many fun colours to use?? Learn how to be bold with colour while still creating a believable portrait in the style of your tutor, Ali Gillett.

September: Rocks and Rivers
- Learn how to capture vibrant and vibrating landscapes filled with texture, depth and light. A true crowd favourite for artist De Gillett Cox.

October: Colour Wheel Basics
- Colour can be basic or it can be insanely complex, let's go for somewhere in the middle and learn what the colour wheel has to teach us... and how to actually use it!

October: Applied Colour Theory
- A practical workshop that turns colour theory into real-world exercises that you can take home and use.
