I’m an animator and art enthusiast with a dream of becoming a scientific or medical anatomy illustrator. I love exploring different approaches and techniques to deepen my understanding of art.
I don't paint to impress people. I paint to leave them calmer than I found them.
My name is Natalia Samarina, a Fine Art Artist based in West Sussex, UK, known for my floral, landscape and portraiture oil paintings that blend classical elegance with a modern touch. Creativity has been part of me since childhood - from drawing and sewing to cooking and inventing - it has always been my way of exploring and celebrating life.
The Drawing Academy looks like a solid course with tutors who know the skills of craft, and that is why I would like to get this course. The best thing for me in this course is that I can receive critique on my art. My previous teachers could only tell me "well done" regardless how bad my drawings were. After checking the Drawing Academy articles with critique, I see that the teacher-student communication can be very different. Drawing Academy teachers are not afraid to tell what is wrong with students' art and how to fix those mistakes. This is exactly what I need at this time - someone who can guide me on my mistakes and teach me how to avoid them.
