Artwork by Oksana

PEACE

I think I was born intoxicated by art. I love seeing details noticing something special and trying to reveal it on a paper. I love any kind of arts and consider myself as an amateur that is why I have a lot to learn. I reckon that every kind of artist whether it is amateur, starter or professional – we all should learn.

This Drawing Academy course can teach me different types of making ‘cause I only draw with pencils and sometimes dry pastel. I was always a self- taughter and I really need to know the professional level of art.

My challenge in art is my crazy imagination or dreams that I have at night and then try to reveal it on the paper. I feel that I need to be more sure in what I do that is why Drawing Academy can help to fulfill my puzzle in a complete image. As I am obsessed with portraits and human bodies I like the classes of How to Draw Figures and Portraits that are represented here.

People say that all artists are special ones. To tell you the truth I haven’t reached this feeling yet. But I want… Sometimes I look at people during the process of creation and through the admiration I start to eat myself asking questions. I know that something is lost in my art and want to find. May be it is not even lost but just not found, may be it is some special sparkle that is hidden somewhere and I am just eager to find it out.

I am not working with art, for people it is just my hobby, as they say “unusual hobby for teacher’’ I consider it more than hobby. May be I made a mistake becoming a teacher but the art was always in my life. Just creating or watching somebody doing the same, I transfer to another world: world of flight, of breaking the shell of daily routine.

I don’t think people should vote for me. I just want them to vote if they really feel something looking at my art, if they are really touched by it.
