Drawing by Nancy Jo Braden

For the moment, art is a hobby. I find that it relaxes my mind, and helps me center my priorities, and see the beauty in all things. Some of the challenges that I have in art, is finding the time, space and creative mindset and being my own worst critic. I would like to learn to draw or paint nature as I see it, and share the joy and solace that art is giving me.

The Drawing Academy has serious professionals that can take an amateur, like myself to new levels, by sharing insight and structured lessons.

When I was young, I entered those “can you draw” contests in the magazines. My entry was burnished from all the erasures. But I could dream!
