Drawing Academy Art Competition

Artwork and story from Val

Art has my heart, soul and focus and not much else appeals to me in such a deep and meaningful way. It’s my passion and my destiny.

I’m challenged by wanting to learn all the techniques at once and I realize that there is a time for each step in my progress. Some lessons require intense focus, while others I can breeze through and sail. Reaching the level of mastery of capturing the arabesque has become my number one goal in my development as an artist.

Artwork and story from Javi

Hello,

I´m Javi, a middle-aged man from Spain and I took up drawing and painting and I´m so into it (unfortunately I´m so busy I hardly draw lately).

Artwork and story from Mia Dey

My name is Mia Dey, and art is not simply something I do, it is the way I explore life.

Since I was young, I have been fascinated by the mystery of being alive. Art became the language through which I could ask questions that words could never fully answer. Through painting, I try to capture moments that feel larger than themselves: the connection between people, the hidden emotions we carry, the wonder of consciousness, and the beauty that exists even in ordinary moments.

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.
