Hi,
I have been drawing and painting since I was ten though now; I’m 41. I paint landscapes, seascapes, mountains, lakes, and portraits in oil and watercolor.
Art has a certain place as a daily activity for me to paint draw or learn.
When I wake up in the morning, my imagination is already ahead of me. Drawing out of bed to create. It’s an escape to a world of where I have the control to draw life onto one blank paper.
I am a commercial artist. I have learned Applied arts and have a bachelors degree for the same. For me art is like meditation. I practice drawing daily but don’t know that I am going in the right direction. So I always feel like having a good mentor to teach me would be best.
I want to draw everything I see because I like to express whatever I feel by putting it down paper or any other surface.
Hi everyone! I’m Jess, a self-taught artist and I’m entering this competition for a chance to further my passion!
This piece is a digital piece, done in Paint Tool SAI, since I’ve been working with digital art for a while and really like the capabilities it offers. It also saves quite a bit of energy for when I can’t work up the courage to create completely finished artworks!
Dabbing finger paints eagerly and molding a world of play-doh would mark the beginnings of my ever growing love for all that is creative in this world. From childhood to adolescents every sketch and impression of pencil, chalk or paint on canvas would proclaim my greatest fears and passions to all who beheld them. The strokes first exclaimed deep sadness but soon wandered joyfully into the expanse of, an immensely valuable, life where Jesus loved and knew me as his friend…
Art and crafts became my passion as hobbies in the last eight years after leaving my profession in civil engineering to become a mum and take care of two awesome kids. I am now 39 years old and I look forward to an exciting year in the arts alongside a British artist, who himself is a member of the Drawing Academy.
Art is essential in my life for many reasons – one of them is to encourage and help my kids to develop their talents in art…
I have held a long seated passion to become an artist, however I was dissuaded from doing so and focussed on a career, so my artistic ambition remained dormant for many years. That was until 2014 when time spent in the public library due to unemployment and I came across a book by Geof Colvin entitled “Talent is overrated”. The book lays out the theory that with average intelligence, passion for the subject and intense dedication any subject can be mastered.
I am a bit of an adventuress. Born in Quebec, Canada then in my early twenties moved to British Columbia. There I played music, did graph two year solo motorcycle journey across the North American roads. In 2013, following my muse, I ended up in Istanbul, Turkey where I have been since, living as an artist, musician and translator…
Hi, I’m Raya and I love drawing.
I spend most of my free time drawing since I started 5 months ago. I have so much to learn and my drawing skills need to be improved. So far, I just copy what I see…
