Artwork by Sonam Wangchen

I am 34 years old man from a small kingdom of Bhutan. I live in the central part of the country. I work here as an elected representative of my town but my term will be over by this June. I am an art lover and fascinated by art works.

We have a traditional painting school, but I have always wanted to be a modern artist. I have never been to an art school or had a basic training. Whatever I have learned so far is because of my huge interest and love for art.

I would have become an artist if only we had an art school when I was a child. Given an opportunity, I will still learn and fulfill my dream…

Two Infants Together

Artwork by Dan S., Drawing Academy student

Here is a composition where I put together an infant brother and sister from the mother’s favorite photos of her children. In this case I could not draw from life because the two children are now teenagers. I did, however, have to imagine the composition as a single scene where the photos were taken from two different backgrounds. I’m not sure how I did fitting the two into a common background, the infants seem to be reacting in slightly different ways to the same stimulus.

Anyway, it was fun to try this…

Watercolor – Woman Harvesting Wheat

I started drawing in 2014, driven by a desire that matured with the passage of years. It may seem late to some, but starting in the art at age 45 opened my horizons and, I believe, made me see the world through different eyes.

The watercolor portrays a Palestinian woman harvesting wheat in one of the camps for them by the state of Israel. Size 30 cm X 40 cm…

What-are-the-best-art-courses

What are the best art courses?

Question from Emil, Drawing Academy student

I just joined the Drawing Academy on-line course. I am very impressed with your approach and philosophy to drawing education.

I work as an engineer, and I draw as a hobby, and for my personal development. I started drawing about one year ago, and very soon I realized that the best drawings are by the Old Masters. However, I was very surprised that in Sydney, Australia nobody is teaching old master techniques. I took two drawing courses, but they only taught how to make some kind of “effective” drawing, or they do not teach anything at all. Then, I obtained many books, and I watched many videos, but I could not find any system that was of quality, until I came to your Web page. I found it by searching for silver point techniques. Now, I have begun to watch your videos, and am drawing based on your instructions.

Do you know of any short courses on drawings similar to your approach. I can go anywhere in the world for a month or two for intensive drawing course. I like the Russian Academy of Art in Florence, but I cannot be away for one year…

Question from James

“I’m interested in drawing from a comic/graphic perspective, and not so much a realism point of view. Does this course look at things like that also?” …
