Double creative delight in Brisbane this December


Introducing Lee Teusner's Goddesses and Divas painting workshop in Brisbane this December

Hey there Bloomers and those still procrastinating about creativity!
For December we have not one but TWO stunning painting workshops to get your creativity on track before the end of the year.    

If you have been always longing to do my Blooms painting workshop in Brisbane, you may have to get a move on. 

I AM ABOUT TO DO MY LAST BRISBANE WORKSHOP!

That's right! The venue Metro Arts in Edwards is changing hands. I will be back but I am not sure of the when and where just yet so this really IS the last scheduled Brisbane Blooms!!! For now! I will have more news soon on that.

The Blooms Brisbane workshop commences evening Dec 10, then all day Dec 11 and 12. We will paint one canvas and I will take you through the Paint Brush license.

I have been teaching at Metro Arts for 15 years and have had the pleasure of teaching hundreds of women to paint and connect with their creativity.

This beautiful Cafe Au Lait was created by fist time painter Kem from the USA at the Los Angles Paint Blooms USA Workshop
late October and is one of the recently added images I am sharing for the Brisbane Blooms!

As well as my Blooms workshop I am bringing someone very special with me to lead a second workshop with a very feminine difference and where you can have a lot of fun learning additional skills with acrylic. 

Allow me to introduce Lee Teusner, a former student of mine who trained and taught Blooms for a while.

Love this stunning Geisha from a student of Lee's Workshop

In the last two years Lee and I have worked together to turn her passion for painting the feminine realm; think portraits of women, loads of colour and texture, fantasy and the decorative…. Into a fabulous workshop with a great learning process so you can enjoy this too with rapid acceleration and results. She has taught to great acclaim already over the past year in South Australia.

Here is some of her student feedback;

Thank you so much Lee for this amazing experience. I had the best 3 1/2 days! From the lows of not being able to paint to the highs of completing my first work. I adore my diva and will be hanging her in the dining room for all to see.  I will be back for more expert tuition xxx

Wow, just had the best 3 day workshop with Lee Teusner.  
Treat yourself and spend time with Lee in her workshops.     
I have been painting for only a little while and found Lee's style so beautiful and moving that I had to do a Learn to Paint Divas workshop! Thank you Lee for your unique style of teaching, you have great patience and understanding for people with any level of painting experience.                                        
Your manner in which you pass on your skills and knowledge is beautiful and memorable. I am very excited to incorporate what you have taught me into producing beautiful paintings for myself and others.

Love the layers of detail and textural build up which  Lee teaches at her workshop



Now Lee joins me in Brissy for the Goddesses and Divas workshop where students will paint a 1m square canvas.

Lee’s workshop will be on the evening of Dec 13, then daily Dec 14 and 15, 2019.

Lee brings her own flair for this subject matter and will have loads of reference for you to help you decide what kind of exotic or calm, beautiful or mysterious, Diva or Goddess you would like to create on your canvas. 
The colours and the feel of the emotion in the painting are up to you. Lee is there to guide you to create something you will love.

She will also have lots of exciting textures, techniques and fun and experimental applications to try so not only empower yourself as an artist, paint an aspect of you as well and create something wonderful and contemporary for your wall at home.



As we are both holding workshops at Metro Arts in December with dates almost back to back ( enjoy a day off inbetween) , some of you might be asking already… what if I do the two workshops?

Great idea, because Lee and I have a plan that if you do the two we will make the canvases the same big beautiful matching size.

The canvases will be 1m square so you can end up with a pair of stunning paintings just in time to refresh the house for Christmas and have your creative P’s and Q’s sorted well BEFORE New Years Eve. How good would that be? 

Isn't this a great opportunity to give up all of that rubbishy procrastination and bust through to confidence with your painting?

BONUS IF YOU DO BOTH WORKSHOPS
Plus if you do both workshops then you will get some very handy brushes for free as well.
And receive a copy of my book Make Money From Art- a memoir.

Red Poppy painted at the Barossa Blooms Workshop last week taught Tizzy from NSW
an abundance including how to create depth in reds and oranges,
how to paint stamens and control the [paint for delicate outcomes
as well as bold, and the art of blending!

MORE ABOUT LEE!

JAC INTERVIEWS LEE

JAC; What drew you to painting Goddesses and Divas?
LEE; I wanted to express that part of myself and to explore a more expressive type of painting that reflected the personal a bit more. I still love painting flowers and they appear in these works too

JAC; I remember your MMFA Program Graduate body of work which was very romantic and very beautiful, exploring the space that women have when they take the time to look after themselves and make themselves beautiful. I also remember that show sold out! Is this direction with the Goddesses and Divas a continuation of the feminine?

LEE; Definitely
I get my inspiration from beautiful images yet something happens through the painting process that is outside of copying. I find that happens with the participants too as they put an aspect of themselves into the creation process. It's pretty wonderful. 

They really connect with the painting they are creating, immersing in their choice of colours, the decorative elements and the expression and emotion coming through the work. It just happens and its a bit of magic!

JAC; What do students need to bring to your workshop to create their Diva or Goddess?

LEE; Just bring yourselves because I have loads of inspiration and reference for you plus I teach you the basics of creating a face. Even if you have never done this it will work out beautifully.

JAC; Lee, we have known each other since 2011 and I think you are a bit of a Goddess yourself. Your students say how patient you are and even my own daughter has done your workshop and she came home with a wonderful result and a great experience of it. It's very nurturing. I’m so excited for our December Brissy workshop.

LEE; I’m really excited to have that space together and to meet lots of lovely new divas coming through!


 I hope to see you all at the Brisbane Blooms and the Brisbane Goddesses and Divas!
