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.

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.

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

#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!

Have you been to a workshop at Arts Tree?

If you haven't you really should... But only if you enjoy:
- Learning A LOT about the nuance in creating a finished piece.
- Having a bloody good time.
- Being able to take home and translate everything you've learnt into your own practice.

If you don't enjoy those things then STAY AWAY!!!!

We have been a little slow off the roll this year BUT we are pleased to announce that all of our workshops are now live on our website ready for you to check them out!

And if you don't want to miss out, because they do absolutely sell out, we would highly recommend you sign up for our newsletter while you're there!

We can't wait to unlock your creativity and send it bursting forth into this big and beautiful world!

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!

#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????!!!

We've got students strengthening their bond to their creative self, students learning a new style that fascinates them...
Students wanting to create a new career, students searching for a sense of Self...

Basically, if it can be learnt through a creative endeavour, it's being taught here at our school!

We do have a few limited spots in our weekly classes and our workshops are ALMOST ready for the website....
