So how do you get started!Its simple you just need some paper ,pencils and subject matter.What are you passionate about!This is a good place to get started,do you like to walk in the park ,the beach ,the city, do you people watch?You are surrounded by inspiration you just have to LOOK.Next time you have a few minutes  take a look around you, sit down and start drawing ,it probably won’t look like it but you need to understand that art is the viewers point of view ,so it is not important that we know what your intention was, just that you made the effect to record it, as that is what ART IS.ENJOY !!!!!

Well here we are new year ,big plans to start off with a bang!It seems everyone wants  to be the artist,work your own hours ,paint artwork fro a living and make it big in the world.I guess that do such a bad dream,except we all know its not a reality,or do we.I can’t tell you how often people walk into my gallery and say they want my job!Its not a bad job I don’t think people really know what it is like to start your own business whats involved and the costs in time and money, or lack of it!But here I am  making a living fron art! So I thought I would start this blog which for awhile has been neglected as I just couldn’t find the time to play on this site.I love doing what I do which is teaching everyone to find the artist within!Its not that hard to find for most of us its just make a start, putting that mark on the paper or canvas ,that simple brush stroke that takes away the white!Then its just a matter of make the mark into something.Yes I realize by now you all gasp with horror as you know that you are afraid of the mark but if you just make you have jumped your first hurdle! So if you want to become the artist stay tuned ’causes I’m going to help you!

moment in time

Hello world!

Sail Away

At the moment, I have a student exhibition at my gallery - my first students have completed a 12 week class in materials and techniques.  The exhibition will be available to view for two weeks so visit my website www.manciniartgallery.com.au for opening hours and details about my classes. 

I presently sell my artwork at my gallery “Mancini Art” in Deagon, Queensland; ”Seaside Artists Gallery” at Redcliffe, Queensland and at “The Manly Gallery” at Manly, Queensland.

I have recently joined a group “Artists Afloat” to showcase our artwork as  we hope to bring art to a greater audience and an awareness of our enviroment.

I believe we can all make a difference in the world in some small way so next time you go to throw out that bit of paper, maybe turn it over and create a masterpiece, we can draw and paint on just about anything!  So let’s look at making a start and get into art!
