Art has always been important in my life since an early age. Always drawing, and admiring art works by other artists. Now that I’m much older It gives me great pleasure to draw, and paint. One of my challenges is dry spells when you lose your mojo? I would like to learn how to command a technique in using oil paints, and also pastels.
I was born in The Hague. Now I live in Amsterdam.
I had no artistic influence. My parents were poor and could not pay a formal academic study in the Arts. At that time I knew nothing about art. I have just my own fantasy. I am a dreamer who never wants to wake up, but I did when I grew up.
I am a fine artist painting in oils and watercolors. This mediums fascinate me because the easy consistency of the colors. I love to paint landscapes which is a very powerful inspiration to see and feel the beauty of god and nature specially the trees, leaves and water on a lake or river.
My name is Ashley Daniels and live in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada.
When I was a child I got bit by the art bug after feeling the joy my drawings brought me.
I have been creating art since I was knee high to a leprechaun! And as my path through life has changed over the years my interest in making art has always been a constant.
Hello, I live in Russia.
I was always fond of drawing, but I didn’t have the opportunity to get a professional education. I studied at the university and painted at night.
Drawing is the basis of all areas of fine art.
Hello and thank you for the Drawing Academy course.
As a child I dreamed of being an artist, but as I approached adulthood more and more people advised against it. I dismissed my dreams as unrealistic and put my sights on a “real” job. After that I rarely picked up a pencil to even doodle. 20 years later I found myself a stay-at-home dad with an opportunity to give art another try. I knew if I ever wanted to be a successful artist I needed to know how to draw.
I’m a 65 year old artist, self taught, and I decided to let my dreams come true by drawing day and night. I worked all my life, never had time to paint or draw till 3 years ago.
I got back into art at an older age (33) and have a lot of catching up to do. I’m ambition with what I want to accomplish and push myself harder and harder ever day.
