There is always something to learn from every artist

Art helps us express our emotions & feelings on canvas. I am a self taught novice. As a child my parents didn’t have enough money to send me to a special elementary class for children with artistic capabilities though my school teachers had suggested it. Lack of money always pricked me, reminding me that even skills you wish to develop come at a price. Recently however I shelled out some money and decided to pursue my hobby rather my childhood dream. I bought canvas, oil paint, easel, brushes etc all the basics needed to start painting. Uploaded is a sample of my first oil on canvas still life painting.

Since I am just starting off, I have come to a realization that there are a lot of techniques, terminologies, methods to learn.

I am an architectural designer on path to become a registered architect. In college, we learned the basics of hand drawing during our first year. We spent half our time drawing cacti and free handing perspectives, and the remainder of our time designing and drafting. Though we had all spent a year drawing by hand, our education was loose and we were left to discover the fundamentals of drawing on our own. After that first year, most of our courses and drawings were done digitally.

I am a Fine Artist based in Karachi-Pakistan who works in drawing, painting and crafting. I am, an alumnus of University of Karachi, was awarded Gold Medal for securing 1st Position in MSc. – Applied Physics(Electronics).

I want to win to polish my art skills

Hi,

I have been drawing and painting since I was ten. Art has a very special in my life I draw and Paint almost all day. I want to learn how to continue to improve my drawing and painting skills. I think the Drawing Academy is the best school to learn to draw or paint in the classical styles. I want to win the Drawing Academy course because I want to polish art goals in every way.

With Open Eyes

I have drawn as long as I could hold a pencil. I used to pester my parents to ask me to draw something and drew my own paper dolls. I knew I would have a career in art, but realities of the job world led me towards graphic design. Now I feel the pull to, once again, draw everything I find beautiful in the world. Art takes a central part in my life. Curiosity is a huge part of making art so I am always learning and exploring: new techniques, new materials and new avenues to pursue.
