Drawing Academy review by Tarini
Thank you for the Course!
I am extremely happy to have found and studied at the Drawing Academy. I am tremendously pleased and delighted with what I have learned. Your feedbacks have been both encouraging and thought provoking, focused on improvement.

Art: Take it back
My college degree in Graphic Design didn’t prepare me to become a fine artist as it wasn’t expected of you to draw anything at all. So, as someone who enjoys drawing, I needed to find ways to improve drawing and painting skills either by looking at books or the occasional community art course which can be very practical but presented more questions than answers. My challenge was lack of classic curriculum and absence of masterful feedback…

How long do I fight
I am an older individual returning to my artistic leanings after 25+ years in the computer industry. I enjoy researching artistic mediums and understanding the basis for mediums, pigments and methods.
Art is a means for me to express my ideas, mechanically, artistically and humanly…
