Thistle in a Flash – Bold Scottish Art in 30 Seconds

Tartan Paint — Thu, 01 May 2025 01:58:06 +0000

I’ve been having fun playing around with the old Scottish thistle using pencil, paint and lots of different colours. I’ve always loved thistles. There is just something about the greens and purples together always makes me feel a bit homesick. I’m quite happy with this piece and how it came together in the end. Just thinking of what i might print it on.

You can see a bit more on the Tartan paint YouTube channel.

Let me know what you think — and follow me for more art in action!

Hullo Hen

Meet Hullo Hen! She strutted into my sketchbook as one of the first characters I ever doodled. With her tartan headscarf, handbag in tow, and a pair of red heels for that bit of attitude.

I had a right good laugh bringing her to life thinking of all the people who say to me ‘hullo hen’. She’s the ultimate Scottish hen ready for a wee blether. I’ve been making her centre stage on greeting cards, gifts, and other bits and bobs.

I hope you like her ha ha

Beach Team Building

Creative Workshops with a Splash of Fun!

There’s something magical about painting by the sea—the fresh air, the sound of the waves, and the energy of a group coming together to create. That’s exactly why we have had such fun with our team-building workshops so whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned artist, these sessions are all about fun and creativity.

The workshops are designed to be engaging, relaxed, and most importantly, a great laugh. It’s about stepping away from the usual office setting and embracing a hands-on experience where every team member gets to express themselves on canvas.

Each workshop is designed around a playful, creative theme. It could be:
🎨 Seascapes & Sunsets – Inspired by the beauty of the beach
🐄 Scottish Wildlife Meets Australia – Highland coos with a local twist
🎭 Abstract & Bold – Let loose with colour and expression

With Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, mixed media techniques, and a few secret tricks up my sleeve, everyone leaves with a unique piece of art—and maybe a few paint splatters to show for it!

The best part? You don’t need to be an artist. Some of the best pieces come from those who’ve never painted before. No pressure, no perfection—just creativity and a good time. By the end, teams leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and more connected than ever.

Want to Book a Session?

Fancy a team-building day that’s actually enjoyable? Get in touch, and let’s plan a workshop filled with colour, creativity, and coastal vibes! Email us at hello@tartanpaint.com.au and let’s bring your team together!

Yer Some Wummin

Tartan Paint — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

We took printed this on a small canvas and took it to the Armadale Highland Games and it went off to a new home! Turns out, there’s no shortage of wummin worthy of this honour.

Printed on a small canvas, it’s got a bit of a punch– the texture, the bold colours, and that unmistakable Scottish pride make it a proper standout. We love seeing folk connect with our art, and this one’s a favourite because we all know a wummin who is a little bit amazing.

If you know someone who deserves a big “Yer Some Wummin” we can print more – just let us know!
