She dwells in spring time
I’m an artist who loves to create 24hrs a day. Drawing since the age of 5 and now 50. I see life as a master piece.
Finding my style was discovered when I stopped looking and started feeling.

Art sincerely
Drawing by Claudia
I studied art decades ago but after becoming a mom I stopped doing it. My kids are old enough now that they don’t need me as much and I’m running out of time to sharpen my skills.
I missed art tremendously, its a part of me and I cant live without it anymore.

Letters from a Lover
I am a hard working mother of three children. After my husband’s cancer diagnosis I felt as though I needed something positive. Oil pastels have had a special place in my heart since I was a kid.

I left the career I loved in law enforcement and became self employed. Giving up my career was a horrible transition for me. An incomparable loss. Art has taken my mind away from what I have lost and to a new place. A place of joy and laughter. I found a child hidden in the adult. I had no idea that kid was still around.
Something made me start drawing a year ago. I kept at it. I literally burned hundreds of pieces of paper that I hated to every one piece of paper I kept.

I would love to get back to drawing again
Hi, I’m Paola.
I use to draw when I was younger, than life got in the way and now that I have more free time on my hands I would love to get back to drawing again.
I’ve always had an interest in art, but haven’t had the confidence to commit to a structured art course. Until now. Upon visiting the Drawing Academy site and exploring what you have to offer, I knew this course was for me.
Art with a purpose
My name is Sharon Kiewitz. Recently I started a new job. I work at a safety facility for youth that has been sentenced or is on awaiting trial.
Part of my job is to run upliftment programs. A month ago I started to draw. Drawings that I have copied and from that I launch a discussion.

I am a self taught artist. I have displayed my work in so many shows and exhibitions. Painting is my passion.
Monet’s most beautiful masterpiece
Article by Mies Šmes
In 1893, Monet was able to acquire the adjacent land to his property at Giverny (which was separated by the railway), where he gave life to an extravagant oriental water garden. For this lush project, not only he had to divert water from a branch of the Epte river, but he also had to stand against his neighbors, as they did not want the water to be contaminated by his exotic plants. Still, in the end, Monet got away with it and was permitted to carry out his plan. Inspired by the Japanese prints he avidly collected —his two hundred and thirty one Japanese woodblock prints are currently exhibited in the house—, he designed a green wooden footbridge over an artificial pond, surrounded by wisteria vines, bamboo, irisis and different varieties of newly bred water lilies.
Monet’s most beautiful masterpiece
(Part I): Clos Normand
Article by Mies Šmes
Who could be more fair to judge Claude Monet’s oeuvre than the French artist himself? Acknowledged by the father of Impressionism as his ‘most beautiful masterpiece’, the garden at Giverny —to which he dedicated half his life— was not only a living canvas in which he used flowers instead of paints, but also the most important subject of his late years’ paintings.
