Artwork by A. Robert Malcom
Art is my life now
I am a retired baker, who finally got to spend extended time doing what has been a life long on/off affair – doing art.
Over the course of years, I have turned from acrylics to colored pencil to pen and ink, each being a medium from which to express what I call themescaping – taking abstract ideas and visualizing them in a realist manner, whether still life or landscape.
I’m essentially self-taught from loads of books, my only failure has been not to grasp figures well, even after going thru several books, so most my works have none, and many others in mind would benefit from having them.
Art is my life now, with many ideas stored waiting to bring forth into view – they all in my head, my world being imaginary, including the still life, yet all look real and each part integrated into the whole of the compositions… if can learn to do figures, especially to do from my head, I’d be free to engage in many more ambitious projects, as most my still life are 20″x30″ and landscapes up to 4’x8′ to cover the theming properly.
From what can see, the Drawing Academy course might well solve my problem of the figures, as well improve my ability in other areas – which is why want to win the course.
I am in my seventies, so am limited in number of years left to get all my dream ideas turned into real…

I loved your Bio. I had no idea you were so interested in figure drawing! Anything I can do to help that goal along Mr. Malcom, let me know!
Robert is wonderfully artistic already, but he also loves to learn. I’d love him to get the free course!
