We teach you everything we know about everything we know.
Acrylics. Technique. Party. Tutors: @degillettcox @brave__arts

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.

Arts Tree is all about embracing the bloody thrivi Arts Tree is all about embracing the bloody thriving deliciousness of our world and our students continually step up to that base and claim it!!

We've been painting with up to 60 students a week for the last 13 years and that means A LOT of paintings have walked through our doors.
What's always a treat is to see what our individual little artists choose to reinvent, and we never get sick of seeing it all come to life!

We will be closing our doors FOREVER at the end of November this year so if you're wanting to get a painting or two done between now and then, we HIGHLY recommend you get started and come to one fo the two classes we can fit you in!

Wednesday and Thursday nights: 6:30-8:30pm, $160 per month. 

Sound fun? Give us a call and book in! 0437146359

Grounding a canvas... Is how we ALWAYS get started Grounding a canvas... Is how we ALWAYS get started here at Arts Tree.

Grounding is a way to get rid of that boring white of your canvas. White, while lovely, gives you no tonal value, so you can't effectively see the true value of any of your lights because your whole canvas is a highlight!

Davinci used to ground with Burnt Sienna.
Sometimes we still do, but we've also got a whole bunch of other ways to do it!

We ground with sporadic colours messed around together.
Sometimes, we keep them messy but also consider placement a little more. 
Other times we may stick to a singular colour while others still we'll begin with textures before adding colour. 

There's so many ways to get started and VERY RARELY a wrong answer!
They do exist, kind of, but to be honest, there's usually a work around!

Just keep your grounding to a mid-tone, not too dark, not too light... the kind that Goldilocks might approve of!

What about you, how do you get grounded on your canvas??

Based on our observations of our students across t Based on our observations of our students across the last 13 years, we're here to tell you that NOT learning colour theory is actually harder than learning it.

Because by NOT learning it, a really simple, very key part of your painted images will always be guess work. 
However, if you simply LEARN it, this core aspect of anything colourful will instantly become knowable and thus be transformed!!

The first colour combo is just a bit gross. It's kind of a complementary tetrad, but it's a little off.. The hues are also a little too similar in saturation and tone thus making it a bit shouty. 

A workaround would be to get rid of that purple and stick to an analogous combo. By providing your eye with some shifted saturations you'll notice that pic 3 is a lot easier to look at.

Another option would be to utilise a more dialled down complementary mix that's a little tighter, with greater variance in tones and saturation. You'll notice that pic 4 doesn't feel as chaotic as the first option!

All of the above however are simply OPTIONS... because options are what you get when you learn colour theory!!!

And yes, We've got workshops for that!!
2 x single day workshops coming for you in October, our last workshops of the year and our last workshops EVER, so get in, learn the good stuff then go create some chaos in your studio, wooohoooo!!!!

Here we have a sweet lil birb, painted by one of o Here we have a sweet lil birb, painted by one of our newest students for her first painting ever here at Arts Tree!!!!

The Lilac-breasted Roller is apparently around 38cm long, including the tail, and this painting of one is at least 5 times the size, which we think is perhaps why it keeps making us laugh. It's quite funny to have a gigantic bird casting such judgement upon you!

But what we love the most about this painting has been the ABSOLUTE trust that our student has put in our hands.... And believe us when we say, that trust has been tested!

Not because of anything we've said as such, but because the painting process here at Arts Tree can get a tad experimental!

This painting began on a grounding of fluorescent pink and transparent red oxide before successive layers of lights, darks, glazing, texture, stencils, spatter and more lights and darks brought it all home.

Why do we do all those layers??? Why not?
Why not take your time and create something magic that has a side of crazy woven into it?
Why not play around and see what works, what's fun, what fits?

Why insist on reality when you can get a bit expressionistic instead????

We bloody love it and we hope you do too!
If you would like to come along to our final few months here at Arts Tree we have limited spots in our Wednesday and Thursday evening classes, so why not give us a call?

Making something glow on your canvas isn't as simp Making something glow on your canvas isn't as simple as painting a candlestick or a lamp and hoping for the best... You can if you want to of course...
But we reckon you'll get far better results by paying attention to the Kelvin scale for light temperatures and following what is scientifically accurate for light temperature!

At odds with colour theory and colour temperature, the Kelvin scale speaks about the temperature of light. 
The reds that we equate with warmth in colour theory talk about a cold(ish) flame.
Think about red coals in comparison to a burning hot white flame. The coals are red which means that though they are still hot, they're not as hot as the white flames... and definitely not as hot as the blue flames of a blowtorch!

When creating glow, you want to have your reds and oranges toward the cooler edges of your source of heat, while the centre of that source will get whiter and then bluer depending on its temperature.

Need to know more? 
We've got workshops for that!

Head on over to artstree.com.au > SHOP > workshops to have a look at our upcoming colour theory workshops, designed to help make colour a little more understood!

Keep on swiping for an example of a student work in progress xxx

There are many different ways to utilise colour in There are many different ways to utilise colour in a painting... So always remember to have fun while you're doing it!

While you're having fun however, remember that you don't need to reinvent colour theory, it's already there, nice and handy for us to use.

Need to sink something further back in your canvas?
TONE it down.
COOL it down.
Take the red and yellow out.
Keep your tonal variances nice and tight.

And the above is, of course, in reference to the foreground and midground. 
Toned in comparison to the area in front of it.
Cooled in comparison to the area in front of it.
Less red and yellow than.... YOU GET THE DRIFT??

The thing is... if you DON'T get the drift that's simply because you haven't learnt about colour theory yet!

By getting curious about the world we can observe with our own two eyes we can create beautiful, believable, surreal or picture perfect paintings... The choice is ours!

If you're finding it hard to work out colour, we've got workshops for that!!
In fact, they'll be our last workshops of the year and the last workshops held at Arts Tree as it is... So make sure you come along!

Learning how to paint isn't about how to be perfec Learning how to paint isn't about how to be perfect.

No, no no...

It's about how to tolerate and work through the many occasions in which your painting is decidedly NOT perfect.

Which is very much what our students learnt during our recent 'Colourful Portraits' workshop with our tutor @brave__arts

This style of working features a step called 'colour vomit', which isn't very romantic but it get's the point across... It's about not-thinking, its about letting mistakes roll all over your canvas. It's about not-thinking, and simply doing.

WHY????

Because friends, there are many, many ways and layers that we can use to help us toward perfect, but if we don't leave any space for simply existing, then how the hell will THE MAGIC get in?

And of course, with a tutor holding your hand who understands colour theory, and trusts her ability to analyse and correct mistakes, how bad can it be???

While these paintings aren't quite finished, our students (most of whom were painting their 1st portrait) have walked away with the skills they need to keep going, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT!

We've got colour theory workshops coming up, so if freedom from perfectionism is what you're needing, then man, have we got you!!!

Check it all out at artstree.com.au

And a HUGE THANKYOU to our students who make every single one of our days a bit more colourful!
