Hello, my name is Karen Dean, from Nova Scotia, Canada. I have recently retired and rediscovered art, and have started attending weekly life drawing sessions as my way of reactivating my passion for both drawing and painting. As I expose myself to new ideas and challenge myself to learn, I am discovering how important art is to me, both as a catalyst to know myself and to share with the world.
I’m a mum of two, and work as a nanny.
I have always wanted to be a full time artist and feel it’s what I should be doing with every ounce of my being.
Art is in everything I see. I imagine drawing or painting people, places and things I see every day. I look at the shadows, the textures and effects that could be made with light and shadows. I want to learn to draw everything I see and feel and show the beauty of of life through fine art.
Jacob is just a simple name and it doesn’t matter how much simple and easy to remember it but still someone could tell a story about his/her path in life. I love art. I can draw, paint and do other visual arts somehow this is according to how much I have experienced so far. To tell the truth I haven’t learned much in art myself, but some time back I used to teach in schools, and then I had to work hard looked and asked around what really the curriculum expected from the students. In following that I became a part of my students.
Reading the suggested books, practicing by putting myself in their shoes, making them understand the principles and elements of art and design. It really helped me learn and made them improve a lot.
Annette Smith enrolled in the Drawing Academy online course in 2018 and has been a very active student and our art community contributor ever since. Her drawing skills were steadily growing with every drawing task she did. She was constantly in contact with the Academy tutors, sending her artworks for critique and getting our feedback. She completed a great array of various exercises, starting from very simple yet essential tasks like how to sharpen and hold a pencil the correct way, how to draw in perspective, how to use constructive drawing principles, how to draw man-made and organic objects from life, memory and imagination, how to use rules of aerial perspective, how to use good composition in artworks, and so much more.
Hi!
My name is Spasici Claudiu and i’m an ordinary middle age family man living in Romania. After passing all the stages as a member of society (school, career, family, kids) I’ve come to the point in my life where all those achievements doesn’t say anything about who I really am as a person, but rather to whom I was expected to be.
I am 59 year accounting professional who deliberately stopped drawing in my early teens as all my fellow pupils were more skilled than me.
I am a self taught artist who’s trying to learn from the best in order to sharpen my drawing skills by mastering the basics.
I am 39 years old from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am a self taught artist, now don’t get me wrong I took art class in school, but I never really learned a lot of technique.
Art is actually my life and something I have been doing since childhood.
I am new to painting, this is my first real painting I’ve ever done and I think it turned out alright. I love being able to go to where the painting is as if I was there in the scene living that life, and it can be a challenge sometimes to get that kind of place on canvas but I definitely want to learn more about being able to do that.
