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 🎨🔥

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.

Not sure if many of you are ware of Corbellic he's an eBay painter that I found on YouTube and he talks about selling his art on eBay. So I gave it a try and have sold 10 paintings on there. this one I had listed for $75 and it sold today. Now I will up my prices over time but for now to get some traction and hit the cassini algorithm I'm happy to let them go for cheap. Here it is being painted on YouTube. Super easy. If you have any questions, fire away, Cheers, Heff.

G’day legends! 🎨 Quick question… When it comes to painting — or creating in general — what’s your biggest hurdle right now? Is it: - Getting to the easel? - Paint & supplies? - Ideas? - Motivation? - Inspiration? - Time? Or something else altogether? For me, it’s when time + inspiration + motivation all refuse to line up at the same moment 😅My usual remedy? Just do it anyway. Over to you, 👊
