I am a neophyte with paint and I have a craving for pure pigments. All textures of graphite, watercolor and acrylics.

Story and artwork from Francis Ian Anino

Francis Ian Anino is a true-blooded Filipino immigrated to Alaska and found his true love – ART! His Filipino heritage brings out a different taste of art – soulful and value-driven! His arts reflect different values such as honesty, peace, calmness, and gratitude which make his arts more soul gratifying. Each stroke depicts the message/story behind the artpiece as vividly displayed in the eyes and in the facial expressions exuding emotions and attitudes. The different values of the shades just perfectly blend which is a manifestation of the inner personality of Ian who, despite the difficult transition from his culture way different than here, also blends nicely and beautifully in his new environment gracefully embracing changes and difficulties.

Story and drawing from Leif Sohlman

I am an retired electro engineer and after retirement stared to photograph. As years has gone I begun ton develop some of my photos digitally and also to create some digital paintings. However, I has always seen my ability to paint and draw as very simple. When finding Drawing Academy I tested to do some drawing and it was better than I supposed, however, there is lots to learn an I wish to be able to draw and paint animals and other things out of my mind.
