Vladimir London has created multiple educational materials for fine art students which are greatly beneficial for fine artists who want to develop their drawing skills and gain new confidence in their creativity backed up with the ability to draw professionally.

Vladimir is the internationally published author. He has written “FINE ART– YOUR FAME AND WEALTH. Who if not you?” This book’s content is also available on Amazon as a series of three books: Fine Art Marketplace – How You Can Benefit; How to Establish and Promote Your Fine Art Brand; and How to Make Money From Your Fine Art.

These books are exposing the contemporary fine art market, and provide valuable information on how fine artists can create and develop their personal brands, and profit from their art in the creative environment that is shifting to the digital marketplace rapidly.

Another book written by Vladimir London – BODY LANGUAGE IN FINE ART: How to Read Old Masters’ Paintings – Secrets of Body Language In Figurative Fine Art is a useful resource for fine artists and fine art lovers who want to discover hidden messages left by the Old Masters that can only be understood by reading a non-verbal language depicted in oil paintings, drawings and sculptures.

For those art students, who want to learn traditional drawing skills, Vladimir London has created numerous video lessons, including the free guide – 12 BIGGEST MISTAKES TO AVOID IN DRAWING.

As he points out in this 4-part video series, the contemporary art education leads to some erroneous ideas in fine art and drawing in particular. Vladimir exposes these knowledge and skills gaps and provides practical advices how to develop proficient art skills.

In response to a high demand from many fine art students, Vladimir London together with Natalie Richy has created a useful resource for painters in oil – THE OIL PAINTING GUIDE FOR FINE ARTISTS. This guide is an essential part of the Web Art Academy curriculum and available in the digital book format on Amazon as well as a series of video lessons on //Art.WebArtAcademy.com.

This Guide is a very useful source of information for art students interested in traditional oil paintings techniques. It reveals essential rules of oil painting together with necessary materials used by the Old Masters. It also explains in detail the multi-layer oil panting technique that has almost been forgotten since the Renaissance. The information on the multi-layer approach covers such topics as oil painting grounds, underdrawing, imprimatura, underpainting, dead colour layer, overpainting, glazing, scumbling, and varnishing.

Vladimir is continuously working on creating new educational materials for fine art students, who follow him from all over the world. He regularly publishes those video lessons and books online in digital formats.

This experience and knowledge did not come to me overnight. It was accumulated, learned, and practiced during many years of education and a creative career. I have drawn and painted for as long as I can remember. The fine art painting and drawing knowledge I have today started with the art education that came from intensively studying easel drawing and painting for 15 years from the age of nine.

I was fortunate to get very professional fine artists as art teachers. My fine art education combines three separate 5-year courses – Fine Art School where I studied Drawing, Painting, History of Art, Decorative Arts, and Sculpture. Then it was the 5-year course at the Academy of Art, department of Easel Painting and Drawing. And finally, I spent five more years obtaining the university degree, and becoming a professional fine art teacher.

Since then fine art has been an essential part of my professional life. After graduation I was painting in oil and watercolour and did exhibitions in Europe and North America. My artworks found their home in collections in the USA, Canada, UK, Finland, Holland, Germany, Poland, France, Spain, and many other countries.

Presently I am teaching fine art students over the Internet as it helps to provide value to so many people around the world who would not be able to benefit from me otherwise. No more limitations of time or countries borders constrain the way students can learn skills and techniques of drawing, painting, and fine art marketing from me.

Many of my fine art students write me telling that my How to Draw video lessons and fine art books have been a great teaching resource and inspiration to them. They share their success stories, which you may find here //drawingacademy.com/drawing-academy-reviews

To your creative success,
Vladimir London
