G’day legends! Heff here — truckie, tradie, and part-time artist finally getting the chance to create again after life and work got in the way for a while. This space is for anyone who’s ever felt that same pull to pick up the brush and have a crack at art again. I also run a YouTube channel — Ben Heffernan Art — where I share easy tutorials, time-lapses, and creative tips for beginners and returning artists. Drop a quick intro below 👇✅ Who you are✅ What kind of art or creative stuff fires you up✅ Bonus: Share a pic of your workspace or your latest project! Let’s build a laid-back, inspiring corner where we can all learn, share, and have a laugh along the way.Cheers,— Heff 🎨🔥

G'day Legends. In this 10 minute time lapse I take on the master, Joseph Zbukvic. I try to re create one of his amazing watercolours in acrylics. I have come to really love acrylics not only for the fact they're non toxic, don't smell and have no harmful odours and have I mentioned water clean up? But they are also very versatile. They can replicate an oil a water colour and dry so fast the brush sometimes sticks to the canvas mid stroke he he he. hopefully this gives some entertainment and some useful tips to get a brush in your hand, Heff.

G'day Legends. In this 8 or so minute time lapse I dive into the Outback of Australia in an Acrylic landscape scene. I spend a little time creating the back drop but it all makes it worth it in the end. Hopefully this gives some inspo and gets a brush in your hand! Enjoy, Heff

If you're here you probably have a creative streak that you like to give a flex here and there? Well i have just dropped this video on an easy painting that will be sure to give a few smiles to that special 50 year old. Now I'm using 50 here I've already done a 40 year old painting....? Hmm well you'll get the gist. See you in there, Heff.

G'day Legends! If you're selling your art on eBay or Etsy etc and they give you the opportunity to do a short video of your finished work then I encourage you to take the time to push your ad that little bit further. I know we have little time but I personally think it's worth it. Your collector gets to see much more than what a photo has to offer. From scale to colour and even composition. Be transparent as possible and no filters! Let them see the raw artwork. That way when they get it in their hot little hands they aren't saying gee it looks different than the photo? I get so many comments saying it look so much better in real life. Which is great feedback for others to read. Now you dont have to go overboard. Just a quick once over of the art and boom you're done. Hint, film it in the ratio the platform uses. Eg, eBay likes 1:1 so take photos and videos in that scale. Here's a quicky of one I did recently, Cheers Heff.
