Hello, my name is Dante Dore and I am a student and scholar who has been practicing art in its many forms for nearly 20 years, however during these past few years I found myself lost and veered off the path of artistic enrichment. But it is a newfound inspiration that has brought me back and a newfound passion that I have found within the Drawing Academy to continue my journey.
I have been painting for over 80 years – yes, since I was 6 or 7 years old. I was an orphan and lived in a state run facility. My first and favorite recollection happened one Christmas when we were all given a box of crayons and a coloring book with tracing paper between each page. I was smitten. I spent many quiet hours on my stomach, on the floor, filling every page.
My name is Moonn and I love art with my entire being. Art and my life has been intertwined like pages in a book, taking up so much space that at times it seems that a pencil and a sketch book or a drawing tablet and it digital pen is all I am.
I have loved painting since I was a child. I have been to many art galleries in the world, and I especially like oil paintings. Art plays an important role in my life. Appreciating art and painting make me feel beautiful, inexpressibly happy, full of creative desire, peaceful mind, tolerance, acceptance and calmness towards worldly things. I used to be quite busy, but now I will paint whenever I have time. Because I have not received authentic painting training since I was a child, I am self-taught, so my basic skills are not good enough. I saw your course on the Internet and was very interested. Your teachers and courses are of high quality and cannot be learned anywhere else. I have learned three of your courses, anatomy, life drawing, and old master. I have really benefited a lot. Because life drawing mainly talks about the human body, I also hope to receive more complete painting training and be able to draw better works.
Let’s see, about me: retired after working since I was 15 years old. I’ve worked hard and am grateful and appreciative to all I’ve achieved. I’ve accepted many challenges and have strived to achieve or complete them to the best of my ability. After retiring, I found myself, well, empty, lost and without purpose. I struggled with this for several years trying to find a new passion, a new purpose to fill all this empty time. I remembered doing a bit of drawing in my younger years, mostly for grade school academics, and found it quite satisfying and rewarding, while also quite challenging. Boom, the Trifecta for me. It amazed me how artists could produce such astonishingly realistic work, and I’ve always wished I had been born with the “God given” talent to do it as well.
My Art name is Zax. My story is most importantly about being self taught.
Art has grown from hobby to something I want to do full time in my life.
In Drawing Academy, I would Like to learn portraits and human anatomy. As a student I really appreciate this drawing course and their effort to help fine artists.
Hey! I’m Juliette. I’m fifteen years old and I adore drawing! It all began when I was eight years old.
Where science meets Art: A self–made Journey in oil paintings and Pencil from biology to brush strokes
I am a self-made artist with a passion for creating art in oil mediums and pencil drawings, with a postgraduate degree in Biology; my scientific background often inspires and informs my artistic vision. Over the years, I have created more than 100 paintings and sketches, each reflecting my dedication to my craft and my unique perspective. My work aims to blend the precision and curiosity of science with the expressive and emotive power of art, resulting in pieces that resonate deeply with viewers. Through continuous self-learning and exploration, I strive to push the boundaries of my creativity and technical skill, bringing my artistic visions to life.
Hello, I’m Priya.
My art journey is all about capturing the beauty that’s around me. I am literally obsessed with telling stories through my drawing and painting. I see all the crazy beautiful stuff in nature and I just want to share it with everyone.
