Mission
Transforming Doubt into Art
Welcome to Shotsy’s Art Studio. I’m Andrew ‘Shotsy’ Shaul, and it's a pleasure to have you here. I stand proud and tall on the idea that everyone has the ability to create beautiful art. I don’t buy the notion that creativity is confined to a special group of people. It’s accessible to us all, and I am proof of that. So follow my lead and unleash your creative voice on the canvas today.
Andrew Shaul:
An Artist?
Like all clinical psychologists in their sixties, I suddenly discovered I had a knack for painting. Okay, it wasn’t quite like that. But I did manage to surprise myself when I first picked up the brush, despite never stepping foot in an art school. Or near one, for that matter. What I did possess was a mental approach that lent itself to learning. That’s what has inspired me to teach others. If a guy like me with no formal art education can learn to paint in his sixties, anyone can. And I want to bring them along for the ride.
Art for All
Painting instruction for all abilities
If painting cannot be learned by everyone, my studio would not exist. I learned, but not because I am particularly gifted. Teaching an old dog new tricks? Absolutely. With a growth mindset, step-by-step instruction, and a supportive environment, art is accessible to anyone.
Build Confidence on the Canvas
Cultivate a positive, self-affirming mindset.
Take it from me – learning to paint is an endeavour that will colour every part of your life. It’s not just about making beautiful art, although that is part of it. By standing up to your self-doubt and expressing your creativity, your comfort zone will grow unrecognizably. And that is exactly what I want.
