I have loved Art all of my life since I was a little child. My fascination with traditional painting has led me to study the methods and techniques of the old masters…

A “Wanna Be” Artist – Novice to Pro
I am a retired school administrator (gifted and talented, Advanced Placement programs). I have loved art since I was in grade school and encouraged by my mom. I received a full oil painting set when I graduated from high school and took a few college classes in art. I did very little painting while raising a family but when I retired I began painting again. I made progress but never could get to the “advanced artist” level.
Meet with art
Story by Vladimir Burchakov
It’s not a Florence, not Paris, not Barcelona, not Madrid, not St-Petersburg where I met the most beautiful piece of art. The place where that piece is kept – North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh (no kidding). The masterpiece is marble sculpture of Venus Italica by Antonio Canova. In the museum it used to stand in dark room with soft light. The light and shadows emphases beautiful shapes and texture of the statue. When look at it you better understand what means idiom “marble skin” and why ancient Greeks adore the sculptures and the artists who created them…
Artwork by Gustavo Rivera

Hi, I’m Gustavo Rivera and I am artistically known as Gutí. I am a graphic designer and plastic artist with strong impressionist influence. At present I combine elements of graphic design with painting, such as acrylic with media, inks and oil. In my drawings I show an interest marked by artistic detail, without falling into excessive photographic realism.
Anatomical sketches by Danielle Hebert, Drawing Academy student
I am learning so much
I found the exercise incredibly insightful, for a few days I was seeing everyone’s faces as skulls! And I also started to observe how the muscles move the skin over the bones… a bit obsessive I guess but I am learning. Doing this exercise did change my perception and understanding in a deep way. It is one thing to draw an oval and divide it in the proportions of the face and put features into place, but to comprehend the skull underneath, to see where the external features actually “sit” and move from was deeply enlightening.
Drawing by Amanda
A rose by any other name
My name is Amanda and at 30 years old I finally decided what is it I want to do for the rest of my life. I started taking Graphic Design classes online in August. Luckily I have a very supportive Husband and two young children that think it’s so cool that Mom goes to school on the computer.
I have loved art since as long as I can remember and have dragged my family into every art museum every vacation we ever had. I’ve taken every extra art class I could in school, but I know I need more to really feel good about my artwork.

My control over graphite
I have graduated from an autonomous college of fine arts in Bangalore, India. I believe that I can tell my prayers to the creator by doing my work. And my line of work is art. Art is a medium through which i tell my prayers, an unconditional prayer.
The challenges I face are that I am not able to produce quality work all the time. Seeking or making an opportunity to improve myself is a challenge. I want learn all kind of things in art, I don’t want to limit myself to a particular subject in art.
