Dear Drawing Academy tutors,
I love painting portraits and hence I joined the Old Masters Academy fine art a course couple of years ago. I learnt the painting techniques, the old masters’ way of multi-layer painting, and made few portraits in the traditional way.
There was something I felt missing every time I finished a painting. I finally realized that I need to work on my drawing skills to make portrait paintings better.
I had been making my drawings using the grid method, which was not giving me the feeling that I am creating the drawing, but I am just copying it. Deep inside me I was questioning whether I can draw it from scratch without the use of a grid.
That is when I decided that I have to fill the gap at the very basic level. Hence I joined the Drawing Academy course and I finally felt that I got the information that I had been deprived of all these years.
I love the information regarding perspective and how to construct any drawing. It gave me the confidence with valuable information especially for making figure drawings.
For the first time I felt the satisfaction of creating an art!
Thank you for your help!
Best regards
Shashi
