One of our favourite pieces over the last few year One of our favourite pieces over the last few years was this mixed-media triptych painted by our student Prath..

This started out as an homage to Klimt, but it soon became clear to our student that as  both a woman-of-colour, and a mother, she had a job to do in regard to populating her canvasses with women who form the global majority.

While Klimt made beautiful works, his works are of a certain time, his concepts formed from a world that spoke to a different audience. 
By using Klimt as a starting point, our student was able to conceptually deepen her work, bringing it forward in time, putting her stamp on it, and thus transforming the reality imposed upon her audience.
Prath used an image of Maya Angelou as a starting point for this remix, a woman whose prose and perspective continues to challenge and transform the cultural canon of blackness, womanhood, and the Other.

Swipe on through to see some of the journey of this massive and truly breathtakingly awesome work!
Thank you Prath for bringing your brilliance to Arts Tree!

We've been in business for 13 years now and my oh We've been in business for 13 years now and my oh my have we seen some canvases walk through our doors.

And here are some first impressions of artists over the last few years and their first pieces that they painted with us.... 
All in various stages of process!

THIS is where the gold is in attending a weekly class, the process and the progress, the layers, the tantrums, the set-backs, the triumphs..!!!

It's all part-and-parcel of being creative and if you're doing it solo, like most things, it can get a bit lonely.

WE ARE NOT OPEN FOR MUCH LONGER!
8 weeks before we shut our doors as they are forever.
SO,
this is the last call for artists wanting to join our classes until we finish up at the end of November.

If you would like to learn what we have to teach then call now or forever hold your peace!
We are: Arts Tree, in Wynnum West.
A family run art school, here to help you strap in and become the artist you know you can be.

Last year Ali was living across the road from this Last year Ali was living across the road from this bit of graffiti and found it grating because of one reason....
The artist did NOT use colour theory,

The colours aren't that wrong.... They're just a little bit off, but enough to stop the piece from existing in easy harmony. 

As Mitchell Albala says, "the world exists in perfect harmony, it is our job as painters to recreate that natural harmony". 
Even when we're talking about graffiti on the side of a building in our urban landscape, harmony can exist!

But, ya gotta know colour theory in order to do it!

We love teaching this stuff because it is one way to avoid creating a giant mess on your canvas. 
It won't completely fool proof our work from mistakes, DON'T GET US WRONG, but it does cut down on the process of wondering "what the hell is happening???!!!".

If you are a painter and you're not using a colour wheel consciously, and on every canvas you are either:
a) Decades into your practice and have one tattooed on your brain
b) Letting your lack of knowledge make decisions for you. 

THOSE ARE THE OPTIONS!!!!

So, if you aren't decades into your practice with that brain tattoo, then come to our gosh darn workshops coming up in October!

Come and learn the foundations so that you can build a creative castle filled to the brim with your wildest dreams!
We promise, you will not be sorry!!!

Sometimes surgery needs to happen. Sometimes hand Sometimes surgery needs to happen.

Sometimes hands, heads, and faces need to be clawed off, painted over and started again...
Why?

Because they're wrong!!!

Take this little bubba hand reaching for some crumbs.
Cute right?
NO!!!
WEIRD.

Fingers are waaaaaay too long! Tentacles instead of fingers, truly.
And the thing is, our tutor @brave__arts was painting this little hand, convinced that the error lay in the colour or values.

The next morning however, the problem was obvious, the drawing was off.
An easy fix provided you have the courage to:
- Admit there's' a mistake
- Critique accurately and,
- Perform the necessary surgery!

Keep on swiping and you'll see what she ended up with and we think you'll agree, MUCH better!!!

With foundational skills like critique, drawing analysis, and colour theory, the creative world is your oyster, don't bypass these skills!
Skills = Freedom!

We have just 2 last foundational workshops left until we close forever, so make bloody sure you get in while you can!

These are skills based workshops here in Brisbane that will show you how to use colour BOLDLY!

When your work is in-progress are you able to enjo When your work is in-progress are you able to enjoy it?

Are you able to step back and say "it's not perfect, but I can see it"?

Those small moments of acceptance for where your painting is, the acknowledgement of growth from where it was, and the hope it will continue to improve are monumental!!!

The cool thing is, if you can do it for your canvas, you can do it for yourself. 

By appreciating our process every step of the way and holding it for what it is, we get to practice what therapists have been trying to teach for decades; compassion, mindfulness, acceptance, growth.

AND you get a cool painting at the end! It's a win win baby!

These are works-in-progress from some of our weekly students and we hope you too can appreciate them for what they are, and come back in a few weeks to see what they'll become!

We've got 2 months left of trade for ever!! Now is kind of your final chance to get in and start painting with us before it's too late.

Colour theory may sound like a skill you don't nee Colour theory may sound like a skill you don't need, and you're not alone in thinking that!

In fact we can tell you right now that alongside learning to draw, our students FIGHT against needing to learn how to utilise the colour wheel. 

We're not sure exactly why, but we think the dreaded 'shoulds' have something to do with it.

People think they SHOULD just know colour...
They SHOULD just know how to mix anything they need.
They SHOULD just be able to effortlessly show perspective.
They SHOULD  just understand what works, and what doesn't.

We ask: WHY?
Why should you simply know this stuff? 

And the fact remains that if you don't, you don't! And if you're using colour as a key instrument, yet don't understand how to play it, then your music (or your painting) is going to be a bit shit!

There is no shame in learning what you need to learn in order to become the next greatest version of you.... So come and learn it!

We've got basic colour theory happening on Saturday, October 18.
And when we say 'basic' we mean more intense than what you learnt in school, yet still based in common knowledge around colour. 
Hobby artists pay attention, this is FOR YOU!!!

Tickets are available via artstree.com.au > SHOP > Workshops

Get in before we close for good at the end of November!

Water water everywhere and so many different ways Water water everywhere and so many different ways to show it!!

Swipe on through these works in progress from our students and marvel at the ways we're playing with showing the beautiful nature of water;

Amongst rocks we're using layers of glaze to get dark enough in the shadows. 

On the beach we're focusing on values and captured light in that crashing wave.

An abstracted goldfish calls for a little bit of colourful looseness when it comes to our ripples.
 
Time of day will change the colour of your water dramatically!!!! 

Keep it loose and transparent beside opaque skies for a sweet lil punch of tension.

So many ways to play!
And did you notice how much colour theory has been used?
Not a single one of those canvases escaped being critiqued using colour theory.

We've got 11 weeks left of trading to teach you any tips and tricks we can, so please give us a call and we'll see where we can fit you in!

Well well well, 2025, you have been a quick little Well well well, 2025, you have been a quick little beast haven't ya?!

We are reeling over here at Arts Tree, it feels like just yesterday that we were planning out this year's workshops and here we here spruiking the last ones of the year... and the last one's forever!

Yes folks we are closing our doors for good at the end of November so this is your reminder to soak up the good stuff that we deliver, while you can.

So, let's find out what is very cool about our upcoming colour workshops!

- We focus on the practical stuff that we actually use in our own studios and in our classroom. The skills we rely on over and over and over again. 
Like how to mix the right colour, how to see the world as a series of inter-relating values, how to show form and perspective with ease.

- We pride ourselves on teaching it all in a fun, engaging, and practical kinda way! There's no point in us holding a symposium and just talking about it all.... NO! 
We CREATE it with you!
Which means you go home with the tools that YOU made, your notes, your way of understanding. 

- We go over and over and over all the information so that you've got it swiftly nailed into your beautiful brains. 
But it's not just us repeating ourselves ad infinitum, it's SHOWING you how what we're saying applies in multiple different situations.

- And of course there's the passion, the fire, the excitement, the joy that we get while we pass on this practice-changing information!!!

If you are a beginner artist or simply struggling to get consistent results then get yourself a ticket! 
We've got two workshops across two days and would love to send off our little art school with a sold out batch!

Painting portraits ain't easy... But we think the Painting portraits ain't easy...
But we think the hardest thing about it isn't actually that it's a face, it's the psychological weight that comes with painting a face. 

Rather than simply painting the lights and darks that make up a nose, an ear, or a jawline, we can get caught up with trying to paint an actual nose, an actual ear, and an actual jawline.... And while that difference may sound small, for us it opens up a whole world of freedom!

If you're trying to paint a nose, we recommend that you create a bit of distance and instead paint the shapes of the lights and darks that make up what the nose looks like. 

Same with an ear, a jawline, or a pair of eyes. 

Rather than trying to create something that took billions of years to evolve, try to paint the bits and pieces that make up the thing you're looking at.... And critique critique critique!!!

When surgery needs to happen, don't be scared, just do it! Chop off the ear, add a bit of jawline, align the eyes, do whatever you need to do to get that face looking right!

Because our sense of worth as Artists does not come from being perfect the entire time.
 Our sense of worth is unshakeable, these are just paintings!

Need a helping hand with your painting? We've got classes and workshops until the end of November but after that we are done for good, so make sure you get in while you can.
