I would like to thank Drawing academy tutors for this wonderful course and for their help and advise which I needed time to time.
I am professionally qualified as a textile designer. I have been drawing and painting for a long time, however, I never learned fine arts form any traditional institute until I came across the Drawing academy course…

My name is Kate Beaty nee Mc Quillan. I live in Adelaide Australia and am trying to find my voice in art.
Art has always played a huge part of my life. I have always sought out exhibitions, books and artists themselves to look and wonder at the marks on the paper, the colours and tones that pull the artwork all together and the concentrated high feeling it feeds to my soul…
Hi,
My name is Simona Tiron and I want to learn how to draw people in my Oil painting.
For 20 years I worked and I made a career in economic and financial field in Romania. Six years ago my life was changed totally because I decided to dedicate entirely to my hobby which is philosophy, psychology and anthropology.

Hi everyone!
I was born and lived my whole life in Poland. Although my path wasn’t always clear, I finally found it. I believe that art is what makes my limbs move every morning. For some time I was trying to convince myself that I do not need it, that I can aspire perfection in any other field and be happy with it. That is not true. Without drawing and painting I was always missing something…
When I was young, I saw an illustration on the cover of the Mexico geography book – the painting of a landscape dominated by a train that was moving trough a countryside, it was charming and neat…
