Portrait of my Anja
Portrait by Zora, Drawing Academy student
My elementary school art teacher paid attention only to those who could already draw and paint. This hurt me; I was overlooked and felt invisible. So, I lived all these years believing that I could not draw or paint. Every time I looked at a painting I found interesting, I felt a desire to be able to create something, anything.
A few years ago, my husband brought me a cherry flower branch that was so beautiful, I immediately sat down and painted it in watercolors. I thought that such a burning desire to paint and such a beautiful subject should result in a beautiful painting. I could not have been more disappointed – it was difficult and as much as I tried, it just got worse. It was clear to me that if I wanted to create a painting that I would be satisfied with, I had to find some help.
Making art is a daily school
Painting by Hans Mozer
Every day drawing and painting results in an everyday learning process for me.
I started painting with oil paint just a few years ago, although I’m 60 years old I plan to paint everyday till I die.

Drawings with soul
Artwork by Elena Legutko
Hello, my name is Elena. I am 37 years old, I live in Moscow. I’m not a professional artist. In adulthood, I studied for several years in the art studio academic drawing and painting. There I was given the basic knowledge, that I use in my work. Currently, I am more focused on graphic works.
I have always liked colored pencils, and I once tried to make a portrait of a dog in such a technique, and I did it. Overall I have made more than 30 dog portraits with colored pencils, pastels and oil. This has been a priority for me over the past few years. I also started to draw colored pencil portraits of people.

Drawing Academy review by Chan Ping Chiu
Fruitful Experience
I have not drawn for years. Whilst I always wanted to do it, I was lack of confidence and didn’t know how to go about until I came to know your drawing course.
Drawing Academy course provided a structured and comprehensive course on drawing. It laid down a strong foundation for me to further my interest in the subject. Not only that I begin to know more how to appreciate art works but also getting more confidence in my own drawings.

Unending journey
I was always the youngest and overlooked one in my family. My oldest brother was an artist and my next oldest was a singer.

I am a 74-year-old former gym teacher who has been fiddling with pencil and pen and ink drawing for years. I am self-taught, and have sold many prints over the past 50 years, mostly pen and ink. I also have had a few contract drawings and even a painting in mixed media from time to time. I have entered contests before, but have never won one.
