DrawingAcademy

My name is Makayla, but I liked to be called Mast.

I’m only in high-school, but one day I want art to be my career.

My name is Laith Nasr-eldin Abuarram.

I like to draw and for last 8 months I was self-learning drawing. My dream is to become a professional fine artist.

When I found the Drawing Academy website, I was shocked – everything I wanted to learn about drawing is available there. I know that this drawing course will give me a great help in improving my drawing skills.

Beauty in nature

The visual arts has brought me through 37 years of life. It kept me occupied as a young child, and has given me a career goal as an adolescent. Today, it is what I must do to stay alive with my sanity in order. Throughout my journey in life, I have always wanted the ability to draw like the old masters do. To have the technical clarity to express myself in any way, shape, or value is more than a desire. It is a need that I have neglected for to long.

My name is Layth Abuarram, I’m from Palestine.

I love drawing so much and I’m working hard to improve my drawing skills.

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.

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…
