Chris Osborne Art

I have created a series of art workshops called "Brushes in Bunkers" ranging from complete beginners to more advanced artists. They will be held in an old 60ft WWII underground bunker...

I find the best time to view landmarks is on an early morning jog before everyone wakes up. Since I have taken up urban sketching, I really appreciate buildings and...

Another European trip, this time a stopover in Venice to take in some of the architectural delights. The streets and alleyways got me a little confused as I struggled to get...

I have visited Cradle Mountain, Tasmania a few times as I love hiking, and I have always wanted to do the Overland Track.

After viewing these windmills during the day, we decided to go back and watch the sunset from a different viewpoint. I love traveling the world, as there is so much to...

My reference photo was captured from a trip to Mykonos, Greece back in 2012 with my sister. Early one morning, I went for a 10 km jog into town before all...

As I was walking back to the hotel after dinner we came across this beautiful little church with a magnificent backdrop of snow capped mountains. I knew this would be a...

Skagway had some amazing buildings, and I could have happily spent hours taking photos and sketching all day.

It's been a super busy few months with exhibitions, competitions and teaching art classes so sometimes I forget the odd blog. This was one of them, an exhibition a few months...

Just as I was taking my artworks down I could hear someone calling my name, I automatically thought oh bugger what have I done.

I have often driven passed both of these trucks just outside of Chinchilla and since I sketched one I thought I should sketch the other.

I must say that there is a huge selection of fire engines at the Toowoomba Fire Brigade Historical Society Inc and I'll be sketching them for years to come.

The Story Behind the Urban Sketching I photographed this old fire engine at the Historical Village Herberton apart from that I don’t have anymore details. This was just before I started...

I visited the Highfields Pioneer Village and they have a nice subsection called Toowoomba Fire Brigade Historical Society Inc.

I was asked if I could teach a workshop to run alongside my exhibition at Gallery 107 Dalby, and since this is something I enjoy, of course I said yes.

I completed the Chris Osborne Art Gallery, so let me show you the progress of renovating an old train carriage from the coach drivers room to an art gallery.

The other aspect of painting old trucks and tractors is the blokes that visiting my gallery with their significant others are now more engaging than when I only a collection of...

Now I have discovered watercolour & Ink and the use of exaggerated colour, I have managed to bring a dull photo to life. Not only in colour but also an expression...

This tractor caught my attention because of the two wheel configuration at the front, as I had never seen this before. I'm sure It's probably quite common but I didn't grow...
