Michelangelo painted the glorious Sistine Chapel ceiling between 1508 and 1512. It took four years to be complete, and of those four years, in 1509, the beautiful ‘Delphic Sibyl’ was painted using the ‘al fresco’ technique along with the other Prophets and Sibyls of the ceiling.
My name is Saurabh Kamble. I have been drawing since I was a child. Untill 7th grade, other than a weekly drawing class at school, I haven’t had a formal drawing education.
My name is Anwar Massoud. I would scribble and doodle in my early days, but once I became serious about my drawing, and after extensive research, I took this course. I am confident in saying that the growth over the past seven years is discernible.

Silverpoint was a unique technique used as early as the 12th century for writing and markings, it became immensely popular from the 14th to the 16th century, for the creation of art. It was favoured among old masters of the Renaissance period, before the incorporation of graphite. Silverpoint is only one of the metals used falling under the larger category of metal-point, where gold, platinum, lead, copper, and iron were also used. Silver was the most used metal and why the technique ‘metal-point’ became more known as silverpoint.
Hi, I am a budding artist from India. I am connected to Art since I was 4 years old.
It is my dream to do art and do it good. Like they say ‘life happens’ and I could never fulfill my dream to become an artist. My name is Elma, I am a 63 years and I still believe in my dreams.
Art has always been a part of my life since I was a child. I have loved drawing, painting and doing crafts. I paint with watercolors and acrylics. My favorite subject to paint is Mother Nature and her beauty, I took art classes in junior high and didn’t quite get the perspective and 3-D just right. I would like to improve my artwork by making it more realistic. If you like what I painted then vote for me.
Ever since I was old enough to hold a pencil, I filled tablets of paper with drawings. My favorite thing to do was draw. Decades later, drawing is still my favorite thing to do.
