New Life New Sight!

Nine years ago I made a decision to make myself a priority. This was a new concept for me and one that I have not once regretted. It was a turning point, with the past behind me and unlimited future ahead I was ready for change!

For me making yourself a priority means listening to that sweet, still place within. Through the silence my enthusiasm began to rise, slowly at first then with more gusto. Drawing became a habit, when the student is ready the teacher appears…

Always Challenging Myself!

I feel every artist is at a level in which in order to improve needs to continually challenge themselves. Also at each you level you need to appreciate where you are at and if with each success is the fuel to keep going with your creativity and experimentation. I have been painting for 50 years and am continually learning and thoroughly enjoying the process. I was fortunate to have a mother and grandmother who where both artists and encouraged me. I have in my later years focused and draw and paint mainly trees and the human figure. I feel both subjects have a lot in common – each an individual with character and perseverance…

I love oil painting, drawing and art in general.

I have the art school diploma, but do not work as an artist. However, I do oil painting as a hobby…

I’m a self-taught artist and want to develop my art skills.

I think that the Drawing Academy course is amazing and I want to win this course because I need to learn the science of art and drawing…

I am from Ireland, co Cavan to be exact. I have attended art college over the years on a part time basis. I still draw in between work and hanging out with my grandchildren. I hope to do more when I eventually retire. I had trained in portraiture years ago and always strive to get a good likeness of the person. I would also be inclined to paint more in a manner that is realistic.

i love the academy because its the type of work I want to achieve. I have signed up to the oil painting video course and feel it is time for me to study more on how to draw figures and to refine any skills I have within the study of portraiture…

Hiya my name is Wendie and I am trying to learn how to draw and paint – perhaps just like some of you. I want to tell you a heart breaking story for sympathy vote or something like that but truth be told I’m ordinary. I’m middle aged do my own gardening and DIY as I’m on my own now. I needed something to get some life back into me. Into my heart. After loads of bad choices and three bad marriages I’ve finally found the love of my life. He picks me up when I’m down, gives me something to think about when I’m lonely I’m just not very good at him yet. I call him Bertie the brush. To help me draw and paint better than my poor pussy cat picture please vote for me as I can’t afford this site. Go on help an old girl get some colour back into her life. A vote for me is a vote for Bert go on vote who can it hurt? …
