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.
At school I loved to draw, so much so that my grades suffered. My reference and inspiration were mainly from picture library comics. After school I studied commercial art, and after graduating I worked as a display artist at a museum for two years. But then my career path changed and I ended up doing a job that had nothing to do with art.
Hi Drawing Academy tutors,
I’ve just registered and look forward to my journey on this art course.
Just to let you know I am a totally self-taught artist and have had no formal art training at all. As a child and young adult I found it quite easy to draw from my imagination but as I got older I started drawing from photos and now I’m even finding it quite difficult just to do that. I enjoy it but it takes me ages to create my artworks.
I’m just scared that I may not be able to break out of old bad habits like copying from photos.
Here’s one still-life I’ve done from life.
Many thanks
Geri
