JustArtStudio, bringing affordable artwork into your home.

So this afternoon I thought I would sit down and create something. Since I finished university - 10 years ago I haven't really sat down and creating any new art work. I felt that what I was producing I wasn't happy with and I didn't really like the way my art work was taking me. So after 10 years I decided today to create something new. 

I loved creating on wooden boards, these are really durable and I have found that the colours don't fade that much. 

I grabbed hold of some wood and thought I would give it a go. I began like I always used to, not knowing what I would produce or where the morning would take me. I thought I would like to begin by painting a flower. This then didn't feel right so I began to add my trade marks to the painting and after a few hours work I felt pleased with the result. 

After half an hour or so I had got a rough background and outline of a flower on the board. This didn't look right or anywhere near finished so I began to add to it. 

To create my paintings I use many techniques, and equipment. I have used a range of different colours to create this particular one. I normally use spray paint on my paintings, however I couldn't find the can today so I tried something a little different. I think this worked well. 

Here is the final image. The painting is 62cm X 62cm, it has been hand painted and is original, there are no prints, this is priced at an affordable £60.00. I have signed this painting as I do with all my art. 

My mother and I both paint. She is a self taught artist, where as I have a degree in art. You can see our art work on our etsy page. All our work is affordable and I am sure you will find something for every one. We have such a diverse range of work, which would make lovely gifts.

Art History Paper Dolls by Kyle Hilton

Art History Paper Dolls by Kyle Hilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Get a hands-on art history lesson with these giants of the art world, shrunk down to paper-doll form. Illustrator Kyle Hilton expertly captures the essence of such masters as Leonardo da Vinci, Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock and more. Educational trivia and unique accoutrements accompany each artist. Art history has never been so fun!


When I saw this I knew I wanted a copy. This for me has many uses, I love art, history and I am a teacher. This book is brilliant for making art history for kids fun. There are interesting facts and quirky parts to cut out and stick on the dolls.

I love the fact that this books takes you through art history, with the art movements and famous artists. I honestly cannot say a bad word about this book and it makes it fun for kids too. Even as an art fanatic there were a few artists I was unsure of, this book encouraged me to find out more about them and research their work.

I would love to get more of these books to help teach history.

This is a well and truly awesome book, it is great for any age. I will be recommending this to other teachers and my friends. My review can not do this book justice, you just have to get it to see for yourself.

I would like to thank the publisher for sending this in exchange for an honest review.
