My Amour with Art continues…

Artwork by Bhama S

I have a Masters degree in Computer Science and worked in the software industry for 16 years. Having to manage a family and a demanding career took a toll on my health and 4 years back I gave up my job and went back to my childhood passion – art. Art has been therapeutic in so many ways, restoring my mental health and well-being. I don’t think I could have survived this change in my lifestyle without art.

I started with acrylic and oil, but the medium I find most challenging and close to my heart is watercolours. I love putting in people, especially children in my paintings. Since I have never had any formal training in drawing, I find it difficult to get the right posture and the right proportions. I am a regular reader of Drawing Academy newsletter and after going through the free art instructional material in this website, I think that I would really benefit from this course, especially since Drawing Academy puts so much emphasis on learning from the old masters and the age-old, proven, traditional drawing methods.

Unlike some other drawing courses that just skim over even the basic drawing techniques, Drawing Academy courses have the necessary rigour to perfect our drawing techniques, which is what draws me to this course.

In any artwork, good drawing skills are a must and the Drawing Academy course makes sure that you acquire that. I enjoy drawing people in compositions, along with buildings, and these are an integral part of this course.

I feel that my day is incomplete if I haven’t spent some time drawing… this passion is what drives me. Enrolling in this course will give me that opportunity to fully realize my dream to become an accomplished artist.
