Artwork and story from Luke Smith

Hello. My name is Luke Smith.

Hi! My name is Luke Smith. I live on a farm in the middle of nowhere. I started taking art seriously 2 years ago when I was painting with my family and I realized that I really enjoy painting and drawing. Currently, I have a mentor for oil painting named Ryan. Ryan and I met when he was visiting my Dad. He is an amazing oil painter, so I asked if he could teach me. We have been calling every week since then.

Artwork and story from Sharif D

I am D. Sharif Basha from Andhra Pradesh, India. Since my childhood, I am much into drawings. After drawing on my own for several years, one fine day in 2016 I got a chance to meet with some professional artists who were making pencil portraits in a shopping mall in Bangalore. By sitting with them I’d learnt color Portrait drawing for 9 months. It helped me sharpen my coloring techniques with pencils.

Artwork and story from Fausto Villaseñor

Hello, my name is Fausto, I’m from Mexico, and I’ve been studying art on my own since I was 25. Later, I took the Old Master Academy course, which was astounding, since a lot of doubts I had, concerning to painting techniques were clarified to me. But I’ve been learning from other courses and books as well. Since I still have a lot to learn, I believe this Drawing Course will help me achieve my goals.

Artwork and story from Diana

I have been drawing from my earliest days and enjoy it immensely. My lifelong passion for drawing and art has never waned, it is integral to my being. I have been lucky to have been given encouragement from family and instructors throughout my life.

Artwork and story from Fran Green

I’ve only been drawing for a few years. When my daughter was born, I had the urge to draw things again, which I hadn’t had since I was 13. I taught myself and haven’t had an art lesson since I was at school, around 30 years ago. Everything you see, I’ve worked out from observation, real-life or from making lots of mistakes.
