Brisbane Art Workshops Student Gallery and Testimonials
In 2006 I attended several of Krisstie’s ‘Oil and Acrylic Painting Classes’ when she was teaching at Tafe, and I found these classes to be very beneficial. Her teaching helped me to pick up the basics very quickly, so much so that I now have the confidence to enter my paintings in the annual Royal Brisbane Show and am even planning my very own website where I can sell my paintings! I would highly recommend her classes to anyone who wants to learn how to paint or improve their painting skills. - |
I learnt techniques that are excellent which will help me to paint more realist paintings. I enjoyed the relaxed environment and looking at the tutor’s artwork. It really inspired me, and I think having the teacher’s work here was great. |
This workshop has taught me a different approach to my work. |
I will be taking home a lot. This workshop has helped me lift my paintings to the next level and has improved my colour mixing. |
I have learnt so much … the idea of lots of small drawings to get started … painting from the heart … techniques for painting with mediums … bright under-colours … drawing a number of paintings from one image. The size of the group was ideal. Very supportive”. |
“I thought the class was excellent, and the lunch, morning and afternoon tea were wonderful. I admired the tutors free interpretation of landscapes and will hopefully take home this freshness of style”. |
“I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and have learnt to paint in an abstract way”. |
“I thought this workshop was one of the best I’ve attended, and this has given me the incentive to continue painting”. |
I haven’t been to many workshops, but I thought this was fantastic, lots of assistance when needed, and I really appreciate the time Des took to show me … different techniques to apply paint. Love the water technique!”. – |
“I have expanded in my development and learned techniques to experiment with. Other students work opened my eyes to possible future development”. |
“I thought this workshop was one of the best I’ve attended. I’ll be taking home lots of practical ideas to use that I’ve never used before. Opened up my mind”. |
“Loved the atmosphere of the workshop, painting with other passionate artists. I gained confidence in furthering the abstract quality of my work”. |
