Watercolor – Woman Harvesting Wheat

I started drawing in 2014, driven by a desire that matured with the passage of years. It may seem late to some, but starting in the art at age 45 opened my horizons and, I believe, made me see the world through different eyes.

The watercolor portrays a Palestinian woman harvesting wheat in one of the camps for them by the state of Israel. Size 30 cm X 40 cm.

I read the Drawing Academy news for a year. This course addresses issues that made me think more about drawing and painting. They helped me to question the meaning of my art.

I feel I can really improve my knowledge, techniques and understanding of the design. I’m following Drawing Academy newsletters and posts. There is a direct communication with academy students. I like it very much.

We followed a path that ends up being our history. My way now is to draw and paint. It is a call, it's something that goes beyond me. I need to follow it.
