25.01.2022 The Art Academy is saddened by the devastating news - two wonderful boys, Lachy, who is currently attending art classes, and Ethan, a former student of ours, have just lost their father to cancer. Our deepest condolences go out to Alex Liberman's family and friends. Our lives are so fragile, lets treasure every moment we spend with those close to our hearts.

25.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 11 (Painting category) *Sigh*, genius is such a rare commodity. I have no idea how Nicky Layton (age 17) pulls all those wonderfully weird creatures out of the depths of his imagination and places them right onto his canvas. His story-telling painting would be fit for an author's new sci-fi book, or a film-maker to shoot a full-length movie...

25.01.2022 Happy Birthday to Michelle Rosin, who has just turned 18, and who has been with Art Academy since day one.

24.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 4 Dot painting is one of the most popular painting styles in the art room. Here are a few examples.

24.01.2022 Term 1 - Artwork of the Week 4 (Painting category) Duotone paintings (two colours + white) from original black and white photo references by Luca Rotteglia (age 17) and Sarah Black (age 17)

23.01.2022 Following the brushstrokes of great Masters - Anastasia Kirpitchenko replicated one of the masterpieces by a founder of the French impressionistic movement Claude Monet. At the beginning it seemed to be quite a challenge, however, Anastasia has just nailed it!

23.01.2022 Term 1 - Artwork of the Week 2 (Drawing category) Iris Gitlin (age 16) has depicted her favourite Japanese champion figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu. Prismacolor pencils on black paper.

21.01.2022 Sadly, this term was cut short due to the corona outbreak. Our classes will resume once the curve is flattened. We wish all our art academy families and friends to stay safe and healthy. In the meantime, we will keep our pencils sharpened and paint moist, ready for our students' return.

20.01.2022 It’s hard to believe that 10 years have passed since the Aquarelle Art Academy was first established. It was then I had made the decision to leave a corporate world of graphic design to start working with children in a studio of my own. Since then, I’ve never looked back. Every moment in the art room is filled with joy, happiness and laughter. I would like to thank my lovely wife Tania who joined me in the studio as an art tutor, and our wonderful students for the memorable and enjoyable moments throughout the years. This slideshow is a tribute to those children who joined our studio in the very first year. We now see them much older and wiser, some with even have children of their own.

18.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 7 A lovely landscape painting by Luca Rotteglia (age 16). Acrylic on canvas.

18.01.2022 Term 1 - Artwork of the Week 2 (Painting category) Sylvia Krozian (age 14) painted her 'Aladdin' canvas for her school fundraising event. Her painting was purchased at the fundraiser for $75. Well done Sylvia!

18.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 8 (Painting category) Rather unique artwork; the cover painting of Eddie Vedder's solo studio album 'Into the Wild'. Amy Gordon (age 16) has created this piece for her friend who is a huge fan of the Pearl Jam vocalist. Acrylic on paper.

17.01.2022 Term 1 - Artwork of the Week 4 (Drawing category) One lucky dad is about to get his dream car on his birthday - Sienna (age 13)

16.01.2022 Term 1 - Artwork of the Week 6 (Drawing category) Portrait drawing with charcoal by Sierra Danon.

16.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 8 (Painting category) Great effort by Ashton Eikelis (age 15) in painting this motif. I'm sure many would love to jump into this boat and sail away after spending months in a lockdown.

15.01.2022 Term 1 - Artwork of the Week 6 (Painting category) A semiabstract diptych by Megan Grasko. Acrylic on canvas.

14.01.2022 Term 1 - Artwork of the Week 3 Spontaneous artist, expressionistic style so typical for Yasmin G (age 14). Love it!

13.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 8 (Drawing category) A wonderful and very detailed grey lead drawing of the Sacred Heart of Jesus church by Ashton Eikelis (age 14). Creating this piece, Ashton referred to the original photo taken by my older son while in Barcelona, Spain.

12.01.2022 Here is for your viewing pleasure, the fifth edition of the Funny Studio Moments compilation.

This video covers just a fraction of what Tania and I saw over the past year.

11.01.2022 Happy Halloween everyone! Here presented just a few Halloween themed artworks out of dozens created by our young artists over the past few weeks.

10.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 10 (Painting category) Isabella Eikelis (age 18) - Painting from internet reference. Acrylic on canvas.

10.01.2022 Term 1 - Artwork of the Week 5 How to create an authentic artwork? Quite simple, if you follow Tom Steinberg's (age 14) steps. First, take a photo of a scene you like. Second, convert it into a painting just like he does. Acrylic on canvas.

10.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 11 (Drawing category) Charcoal, the art medium of old Masters. Not that commonly used nowadays. I was so pleased when Anastasia Maslyukova (age 16) elected to draw a replica of a 'Head of a Young Woman' by Giovanni Piazzetta using a charcoal stick. Excellent result!

09.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 9 (Drawing category) Mythological Minotaur as depicted by Adam Shkoulev (age 12). Derwent colour pencils on paper.

08.01.2022 Great comeback! Our first ever student, Liza Rosin, has returned to the art room, after getting married and giving birth to a healthy baby boy. And she didn't loose her touch at all - here is an artwork she painted for her dad as a New Year's present!

06.01.2022 What famous sculptures would look like in real life

06.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 6 Painting with palette knife - Sierra Danon (age 18). Unlike oil paints, it is quite a challenge to paint acrylics using palette knife, however Sierra, in my opinion, has succeeded with her painting.

05.01.2022 Tania and I wish all our Academy family and friends all the very best over the holiday period and for New Year! To go along with the festive season, we treat you with a lovely performance by our little adorable reindeer Monica P (age 7). Enjoy!

02.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 9 (Painting category) Sarah Black (age 18) has replicated an artwork of a very fine Russian artist Victoria Kirdiy. And in a process, she decided to add a few of her own elements. Watercolour on paper.

01.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 8 (Drawing category) 'Well done !' to Anastasia Maslyukova (age 17) for taking on a stature of David. Drawing from observation. Grey lead on paper.

01.01.2022 Term 4 - Artwork of the Week 9 (Painting category) Sierra Danon (age 18) our stellar student, has painted this canvas as a birthday present for her friend. I'm sure anyone would be delighted to receive such a present!
