 Andrea Brueck Paintings

Create your own style or copy someone elses until you find your own one. Even the greatest artists of this world copied each other until they found their way. It's a great way to learn styles and you can almost feel the way they thought while they painted the great works of art. Famous or not.....it doesn't matter.....put your own stamp on whatever you do.....

Choose different subject matters which thrill your soul.

Be wild with your imagination. My greatest realisation as a child was that what I painted or drew, didn't have to be the exact image as in a photo.....lets face it, we can take photos but no one but us can recreate our imagination.  Thanks to Picasso, I learned that.

Take your favourite artist and explore the possibilies. As long as you stick to some simple basics of what looks "right" to the eye, you can create your own masterpiece.

Lakehouse Arts Centre School holidays

School Holidays Art for kids at the Lakehouse Arts Centre - Takapuna

Children from 6 - 12 enjoy learning how to paint using acrylics.

They started at 10am and finished at 3pm with an hour for lunch and time for morning tea. The children enjoy coming back to different classes put on by me at the Lakehouse. It is so wonderful to see them return and blossom.

They are happy to have their paintings photographed and smile when their carers pick them up and praise their works of art.

No matter the age, gender or ethnicity of the children, they feel comfortable and enjoy meeting new friends.
