Here’s a little sneak peak of some gel plate print pulling, as you can see at first the paint is still sticking to the plate, this part is all about patience, waiting for your paint to dry and transfer to the paper and then you can get your perfect pull 👌 if you want to learn more about gel plate printing we only have 2 spaces left for this Sundays workshop with artist @josh_bowe_artwork for his “image on gel plate printing”.

You can tell by Julie’s face just how in her element she is to be creating and experimenting with new techniques 🙌 She has been using a pallet knife to create texture in her art, following how her energy flows throughout. She has also been busy creating her own art books to focus on her positive creations, using alcohol inks to create her covers! We love to see people stepping out of their comfort zones and experimenting! #experimentalart #experiment #palletknifepainting #acrylic #artflow #followtheenergy #alcoholink #bookbinding #creatingscrapbooks #inkblowing #texture #texturedpainting #creatingtexture #arttutor #arttherapy #busycreating #artshack

Averil wanted to try her hand at learning how to paint in oils. She chose a subject matter close to her heart, celebrating a birthday with her husband. The most difficult part she found was painting the faces, especially as they are so small in the picture, but with Jacob’s incredible help and tuition the work is finished. And she loves painting in oils! @j.gourleyart #oilpainting #oilpaint #oilpaints #learningtooilpaint #paintinginoils #painting #husband #learningnewskills #art #arttutor #creativesession #expandyourskills #artistherapy #artshack

Christian’s stitched textile piece was inspired

Christian’s stitched textile piece was inspired by the work of Gustav Klimt, and her love of sparkly fabrics. She enjoyed celebrating the curvy female form in this piece, as well as introducing some rather cheeky embellishments , she provided a good giggle when declaring “the nipples were my favourite part to stitch” 😂… almost finished, and then it will be framed. Tell us what colour/style of frame do you think would do her lady justice?

We had the pleasure of welcoming some of the child

We had the pleasure of welcoming some of the children from the HLC @hlc_secondary again to try out some Aboriginal artwork with artist @linzi.mcgivern2018 they started off with a very personal task of a mind map, their likes/dislikes, things they enjoy, their feelings, hobbies and just life in general in prep for their aboriginal design. They then moved onto thinking about their mind maps and how to express them with dot work and mapping it out in their work. They all had very unique styles and it was lovely to see how different each of their styles were being expressed. The second session then involved using animal sculptures to present dot work in the style they wish, again each of them showed individuality and understanding of the aboriginal style beautifully 👌 we then finished off with some Christmas cards for good measure! As always, it’s been a pleasure to meet some of the children from HLC and they were all brilliant during the sessions! #HLC #hadleylearningcommunity #HLCschool #aboriginal #aboriginalart #mindmap #mindmapping #childrenlearningart #artistsinthemaking #aboriginalaustralia #australianart #dotwork #acrylic #animaldesign #christmascarddesign #handmadecards #teachingschools #kidsareartists #newtechniques #representing #artworkoninsta #artoninstagram #alwaysapleasure #artshack #yayoikusama #yayoikusamaart

Jess has been busy preparing her handmade gifts for Christmas today at ArtShack. She started by completing her natural dyed scarves, she then moved onto creating the cutest little dolls house pieces for her daughter 🥰 and it wouldn’t be Christmas without adding the angel to the tree!

Painting a loved one can prove an incredibly diffi

Painting a loved one can prove an incredibly difficult task, it’s so personal to people. But Tony and Lynda took the on the challenge of painting their loved ones. Tony chose to paint his mum for the second time around and Lynda chose to paint her granddaughter. They both hit a bump in the road and decided the best decision was to take a step away and take something else on, so when they come back to their personal pieces they have a fresh mind to complete the task. With some guidance from @j.gourleyart and Nada they have now completed their lovely portraits and have depicted their loved ones beautifully 🫶 it’s no easy task and we are so pleased they didn’t give up! Beautiful job guys 👏 #portraits #portraiture #portraitsinoil #portraitinoil #steppinngback #takeastepback #personalart #oilpaint #oilpainting #arttutor #arttips #arttherapy #artoftheday #oilpaintingart #oilpaintinginprogress #form #tone #structure #shadow #portraitskills #art #artoninstagram #familyart #familylove #artshack
