Who is behind this idea?  About Sharron Tancred

We believe every child has a genius within.  Call us to enquire about this unique, private Brisbane art class for your child.

NEW!!  My Super Duper Fab Art - This is a great story about a 12 year old called Aemon who wanted to learn how to splat and go wild with paint.

  • Your child can achieve their own goals in our private children's workshop
  • Techniques are taught to older children with easily accessible tools
  • Children's drawing styles can be used in conjunction with a painterly background

NEW!!  Victoria's Rhapsody - 6 year old Victoria did want dolphins, but something told us this would date and loose its appeal over time, so a semi abstract, designed on the day, did the trick. 

  • You will be guided as to your arts content at your appointment
  • Workshops held at the WFYH studio will include lunch and snack
  • We paint with and guide your child and then can relax and step back once they're confident

NEW!!  Josephines Rainbow - 2 year old Josephine was expecting a baby sister and Mum Kim wanted her to paint and artwork for the nursery.  How cute is that!

  • Little children experience the studio coming to their own home we they are comfortable.
  • Children as young as 18 months typically paint for 2 hours; they will wander off at times, but invariably don’t want to stop!
  • Good news mum, even children who’ve stopped afternoon sleeps, tend to need one after painting a masterpiece!


Butterfly Dreaming - Every child deserves a memorable childhood. So remember it well.

Does your child have a favourite spot they like to play in?  Would you like to have a specific portrait of their childhood, about freedom, whimsy and play.  You can have this and your child can help paint it too.

  • Your Little Pro art can be abstract or figurative.
  • For more autonomy with older children, designs are pre-prepared and colour coded.
  • From May 2010, children 6 years and up are welcome to enjoy a real studio experience now at the WFYH home studio.


Charlies Famous Fashions - If your child knows what he or she would like to do when grown and you would like to encourage them with experience and visualization, then get a load of this!!

  • Your child can be given a part of the artwork to design on their own
  • Backgrounds like in this artwork, are prepared and masked prior to the session for effect
  • Art like this will encourage childhood ambition
  • We focus on art that is meaningful, long wearing that you can hand down through the generations

 

Fuchsia Reflections - Christine Ellison from North Lakes wanted 3 year old Keira to paint something pretty and floral for above her couch.  No worries!  Follow the link to discover her story and our decor hints.

  • We use a lot of iridescent and metallic finishes in our artworks for a touch of glamour.
  • You can even have gold or silver leaf!
  • Art works can also be given a Glass Coat finish which enhances and protects your art for the generations to come.


 

Little Gold Hands -  Abstract Little Pros are gorgeous in a modern decor. Have you ever been to an art gallery and seen works that appear to have been painted by a child?  At WFYH your child will produce gallery worthy art. There is however, a major difference.  These children’s masterpieces have pretty powerful emotions attached to them.  They're by your child!

  • Kindergarten art isn’t light safe, where a Little Pro will last 70 years plus.
  • Your Little Pro is on a custom made canvas, not paper which yellows over time.
  • Your Little Pro is guaranteed to match your decor and be loved by you!


Mitch's Boyhood Friends - Children's artworks don't have to be abstract!  This series of 3 paintings created in a day with 7 year old Mitch McDonald for his birthday shows what can be done with carefully pre-prepared canvases.  This was the families 2nd Little Pro session.

  • Learn more about interior decorating at every appointment. 
  • We'll check your understanding of the colour wheel we give you each appointment to.
  • Your child will use expensive Atelier “Interactive” Acrylics. Unlike traditional acrylics, they don’t suddenly form a skin, giving us plenty of time to play and more creative freedom. Best of all they’re archival quality and lightfast.  The intense colours dry to a satin-like finish.

Tigers in the Grass - Your child can be art directed to create a more figurative styled painting. This parent also commissioned our Mermaid art.

  • Just like the African painting here, we can take a theme from any room.
  • You can have patterns from curtains, bedspread or sculptural piece and bring it to life.  
  • Art will unite your decor colours making a more stylish decor.
  • Allow a full day plus design time for these sessions.  The kids - they sleep it off!

Daisies Fairy Garden- The third commission from this family, this delightful artwork has been the favorite of many other families looking through our albums.  Testament to the spirit of Little Pro you can see the quality of colour in this.

  • Specialty paints like metallic, irridescence and collage is available.
  • Photos and colour samples are taken on the appointment day to ensure colours match your decor.
  • We measure an appropriate canvas size and have it custom built to last a lifetime.
  • We sketch ideas for you too– its that easy!

Jungle Jamboree - At your appointment thumbnail sketches will be drafted for you on the spot and refined drafts if nescessary will be emailed to you later. This is the first of two artworks for this family.

  • These black and white sketches come with notes about colour or texture etc, and will give you choice of various compositions.
  • At your appointment we will give you interior decorating tips as to how to make your room more stylish.
  • For more comprehensive plans, Works For Your House or any of our affiliate interior designers and decorators can be hired to provide a room plan to work from.  This will give you colour samples to follow, allow you to use existing furniture and accessories or purchase new, with or without assistance even from your favourite home wares catalogue! 

God Daughters Gift - Interior Designers and decorators are most welcome to suggest to their clients, that their children create artworks to match their new decors. 

  • Works For Your House works with interior designers.  We already have close relationships with several Brisbane Interior Designers and Decorators.
  • If you are an Interior Designer, the sessions are held at your client’s home so the child is relaxed.  Your client can then enjoy the experience.

 


Edelweiss - Children of all ages can enjoy this experience! Just like Emily pictured here with her painting of  "Edelweiss", the one of two Little Pros for this family.

  • Older children receive more time getting hints and tips on how to paint, perhaps even learning how to paint challenging vignettes, not easy to do in a day!
  • The art will suit the space and the child will be stimulated, their passion increasing the more they practise.
