Wanting to Draw Portraits!

My name is Kathleen James and when I’m not taking care of all the beautiful people in my life as a wife, mom and nana, I love to draw and paint.

When I was a child, I lived to draw. I was a night owl and though I had to have my light off at bedtime, I would open my curtains and draw by the moonlight just about every night. It was when I was my most creative. That love of drawing carried on until I took an art class as a teen and felt my teacher disliked every thing I created. Unbeknownst to me, she advised my mom to send me to art school…

Nepali Musician

I am a self taught artist with keen passion to learn art since my childhood, but never have a formal lesson due to financial issue & lack of art school close to the village back in Nepal and currently busy schedule in British army.

Most of time I used to fall in love with landscape painting with strange imaginations, but nowadays I am keen to learn anatomy & portrait work. When I see art lesson videos I feel like I am born for this skill but I cannot quit my job. I have to earn to survive and my dream falls apart.

Some of my amateur paintings were generously purchased and I spent on charity work to support school in remote village. If I can have formal lessons, I can develop my skills and it will help to raise some more for good cause as well…

The fabric

My name is Theodore, I’m 28 years old, married with one child and I am from Greece, a country with a rich art history.

Art for me is the way to express myself; my good or bad feelings. My interest began one year ago when I decided to pass the uni exam I always wanted: Architecture. Then I realized that drawing is more than a piece of paper and a pencil. It is an expression! …

The cover up I started drawing when I saw how good my uncle was at drawing humans and creatures. I couldn’t draw as good back then. But now, I think I’m doing a pretty good job at it. Art takes a huge place in my life because I could express my feelings through it. I have a lot of challenges…

Art is my life now

I am a retired baker, who finally got to spend extended time doing what has been a life long on/off affair – doing art.

Over the course of years, I have turned from acrylics to colored pencil to pen and ink, each being a medium from which to express what I call themescaping – taking abstract ideas and visualizing them in a realist manner, whether still life or landscape.

I’m essentially self-taught from loads of books, my only failure has been not to grasp figures well, even after going thru several books, so most my works have none, and many others in mind would benefit from having them…
