Fairy Painting by Vicki
🍃✨🕸 Vicki brought this ethereal fairy to life using acrylics and mixed media. After painting a vibrant portrait, she decided to PAINT OVER IT transforming her canvas into a magical fairytale landscape. She used gold leaf and “no more gaps” for the 3D elements, plus pens and glazes to decorate the wooden frame surrounding this whimsical piece. A fairyland drawing by Australian illustrator Ida Rentoul Outhwaite was her inspiration and we adore the results.
Ocean Art Painted by Anita
Anita is a surfer and a diver, and her paintings reflect her passion for the ocean! 🌊🐚 🐠 🦀 🪸 Using thick slathers of oil paint, she paints what she sees in the sea. Her paintings are vibrant and full of energy. She works quickly, enjoying the process of applying paint on large canvases. www.artschool.com.au
Vibrant Collection of Abstract Florals
With this series of canvas paintings Jane followed the path of abstraction, exploring vibrant colour and tonal relationships, moving the viewers gaze in an entertaining way. Unlike traditional still life paintings, Jane wasn’t concerned with the detailed representation of the subject. She had fun with balancing the elements, taking more of an abstract approach to this colourful collection.
Purple Sunset Sky Painting Timelapse
Watch how this purple sunset was painted. Shaun had worked on this over a few months, all with acrylics. It's fascinating to watch it unfold. Artwork painted by Shaun at The Gold Coast Art School
Palette Knife Painting by Anita
It’s amazing what Anita can create with just a canvas, palette knife and oils. An avid photographer, Anita captures stunning photos of the ocean which she shares on Instagram. At night, she paints beautiful textural paintings like this one, inspired by nature. We love how she uses colour to capture nature’s beauty on canvas.
