Which are the most important guidelines, within the creative process, to achieve a meaningful, emotional original artwork?
Your website is really good. Do you have a “social media network” where people (art lovers) could share ideas, doubts, knowings about art and drawing? Also would be interesting to have a bit about history of art…
When my wife was pregnant I didn’t have any paint and money to make Oil or acrylic painter, but I had some marker in a box. I saturated newspaper on glue and put them on the row canvas. When it had dried I put a marker on it and start to make this painting offhand. After that I found a new approach to make new paintings by marker, pen and embroidery which I have been working…
I am Taiwo Animashaun, a twin to a creative web designer. Creativity is our strength. My knowledge of art is as a result of stuff I have seen online, teachings from artists that are friends and basic teachings from my Secondary School (High School). I am a BA degree holder in English Language with a great passion for art.
Art is a medium to have a say in the society, I express myself through pencilworks, mix media and realism…

For the past month, I have been in something of an artistic rut. I cannot call it a creative block, because I get ideas all the time. I just don’t have the technical ability to execute them.

My grandfather used to say that a “Horse Handshake” was the art of keeping a horse between you and your opponent.
People who work with horses know how disoriented you can feel when you look a horse directly in the eye. These graceful creatures are not only beautiful and strong, they are also intuitive. They know when a rider is confident, happy, or nervous. They also know when you have carrots!
This is one of the first sketches I did with my right-hand (I used to be a leftie). As I drew, I kept switching the pencil back and forth, transferring knowledge from my left-handed brain back to my right-handed brain – believe me, there’s a difference! …
I am interested in drawing & painting and want to improve my art skills.
I love sketching…
Before I enrolled, I was at an intermediate level. I took the course to expand on linear perspective and figure drawing. After completing the course, I have a better understanding of linear perspective and have practiced many of the exercises. My drawing has improved as a result and so has my painting.
This course helped me clarify some key concepts after watching the demonstrations and definitely pointed out the professional way to do things. This is important to me because I am studio art teacher…
