My name is Paul Reeb. I am almost 65 years old. I have had a career in commercial art for the past 40 years, however my true passion is studying the old masters and trying to perfect their techniques. I decided to take the Old Masters Painting class as a way to increase my knowledge of those techniques. The Old Masters Academy encourages drawing and painting from memory and imagination. I have enjoyed the painting course and would like to continue with the Drawing Academy.

I am also waiting, waiting for your answer to the question of what does this drawing mean to you? Does it mean that you would like to share your opinion about the skill of the artist or does it mean that you like the subject matter.
Hi, I am Beyza. I play cello and I am interested in literature. I love using my creativity. I am into drawing portraits and reading about art history. I better understand how unique and meaningful art is by learning art history. In my opinion, art history makes art more valuable and appreciable.
I am James L. Foster and married to my partner for life, best friend and supporter, Patricia.
I am an amateur artist recently retired. I have been painting on and off over the past several years. I really would like to improve my drawing skills thus far I usually use a grid to get my drawing on paper. I would love to be able to draw freehand without the grid.
Hello. I’m Onur Fidan from Turkey. I’ve always had desire for art since I was a child. Art is like a gate of another world for me.
I’ve been drawing since I was 6 years old. I have never received any formal training. I have a full time job and drawing is now a hobby for me. I do it at night time and on the weekends when I have time.
Hello I am Sahar, I always dreamed about studying art and learning drawing, but instead I had to choose graphic design as a major to be able to find a job and be financially secure. Now after graduating and finding a job I don’t feel the fulfillment and the joy and my soul is starving for art.
