I am Neculai Angel Mihail and I have the dream to revolutionize the perception of people about art and it’s meaning …
Many people don’t enjoy making and/or seeing art… that’s not good because art is helping people to express feelings and to communicate.

Charcoal drawing
Artwork by Olga Retyunskaya
Hi,
My name is Olga. I love drawing since I was a kid. But I have never done this professionally. I only started to think that I need art education about a year ago.

At the moment I use the Internet as the main source of art education. I would like to improve my skills under guidance of Drawing Academy teachers…
