My name is Eddie, I’m an 18 year-old guy who lives in Mexico. My interest in art (specially drawing) began when I was a child, but right now it is stronger than ever before.
Art takes a great place in my life. I can’t imagine a place where I’m not able to draw, because this is everything for me…
I was born in New Mexico but I grew up in Old Mexico, in Puebla. My father is a quantum physicist, my mother a literary editor and writer. I was always stuck in the middle of cultures, being neither truly Mexican nor truly American. Art was and continues to be, my refuge, where I attempt to find peace in paradox…
Hello,
I’m a retired teacher living in The Netherlands. I’ve just found the joy of drawing in the last year, before retirement. I do have a lot to catch up in techniques and skills. So that’s my goal for me. Drawing by heart, the right way and not only copying the reference, but using it to inspire the imagination. Learning this online seems for me the only possible way.
As far as I can judge, Drawing Academy gives a profound course and let me start at the very beginning so that gives me comfort…
I’m Ana, I live in the countryside of Brazil, where there are absolutely no art schools, so I’m totally self taught. Art has been my therapy and escape from the bad things in life since my teenage years, and is the way I can communicate most effectively…
I am 36 year old and love to paint in watercolor. I have limited resources but never ending imagination. However, I can’t get out my imagination on to paper. I draw from photos and paintings.
Currently I only paint after working hours, not regularly. If I could feed my self by art I would do so. I just love it…
I believe that you only know what you can express. You don’t know what a salad is if you can’t make one. Or would you call an apple tree such if it never produces any apples? I’ve learned that the fruit is the only proof of what is inside you. When you draw, for example, you see a bunch of things in front of you, things you’ve touched, you’ve smelled, you’ve looked at for years, but the moment you try to recreate them in the page, you find yourself having to assess what is the actual shape they have, what is their size, how do they fit in their environment, where are they located in relation to the horizon. In short, you have seen, but you have never observed—you know nothing…
Art has been the most compelling subject in my life since I remember. The idea of me becoming an artist it’s so recurrent that there is no doubt in my mind it will make me feel complete…
Hello I am a 55 year old who used to draw as a kid. I once entered a TV guide competition, draw the prospector, when I was 11 years old. My mom said they called and told her I had won! But I was to young to receive the prize. A course in the art institute. I was crushed and stopped drawing after that…
I’ve been searching for a creative outlet all my live. I tried singing, playing a musical instrument, even painting. I didn’t have any talent. So I gave up trying until I saw someone drawing in colored pencil two years ago. I’ve been hooked ever since…
I am Diane Stolz, artist for over 30 years now and a Signature Member of several Pastel and Watercolor Societies in the USA . Art is a very significant part of my life and if not painting or watercoloring, I am drawing…even in front of the TV! My challenges in art is to learn more about values and conception of idea onto the paper or canvas and I wish to express more accurately these principles…
