Soul’s Theatre
Story from Nicoletta Dominelli
My story can seem weird or common, “as you like it. It begins with a passion that I could have followed; I liked drawing so much since I was a little shy girl, but as it happens many times, you chose to follow other’s expectations. until one day when I choose to rewrite my path, after a surgery, I decided to recall my passion and give it new form and life. After a secondary an university degrees, after many Masters, I thought that I could restart all again. I took a new degree in art school and began new courses and university for deepening my knowledge and my skills. I can admit so many defects in myself but I can describe myself as headstrong, dreamer and hangry. I’m hungry for knowledge and learning. That’s why I’m trying to do this here.
Unknown colours
Story from Catherin
My name is Catherin, and I attend high school. When I’m stressed, art helps me relax. Making art helps me to unwind. Values and colour theory are difficult for me. And I’m not really sure where to begin with an oil painting. These are among the things I want to learn. In order to create better portraits in my drawings and paintings, I wish to study more about human anatomy. I believe Drawing Academy will aid me in achieving these objectives.

I’ve been taking drawing lessons from books and the internet to improve my painting. I have traveled extensively to visit all the historical places that I read about.

My life long quest of learning!
Story and artwork from Paul Reeb
My name is Paul Reeb. I am almost 65 years old. I have had a career in commercial art for the past 40 years, however my true passion is studying the old masters and trying to perfect their techniques. I decided to take the Old Masters Painting class as a way to increase my knowledge of those techniques. The Old Masters Academy encourages drawing and painting from memory and imagination. I have enjoyed the painting course and would like to continue with the Drawing Academy.
