Smiling encounter

I have always loved the thought of doing art, but never had much confidence in myself as a person. One day Melissa the receptionist who I worked with told me to challenge myself. Well then and there she made me take a photo of her for me to do. The biggest thing I was scared of was doing teeth. Anyway thanks to her kind but firm encouragement I did it. I have done many since thankfully, but this one will always be important to me as it got me on the road to art discovery. However money being a big factor I have not got many books to help me improve further that is why I do like your site. I would love to be one of the lucky winners to keep improving myself.

Back on the artists path!

Dear Readers and generous voters, here is a little bit about myself:

My name is Suvarna, originally from South Africa, now living in New Zealand, Invercargill, where I am currently studying art. I gave up art as a young girl, because of the influence of my parents and other events as a teenager. It has taken me 22 years to finally find my way back onto the artists’ path. I find myself awakening in so many wonderful creative ways and it truly is a blissful, though challenging experience and always exciting! …

Drawing is my passion

My name is Debora, I’m 42. I live in Serbia. I have been drawing since my childhood.

Drawing is my passion. In high school I learned the principles of architectural drawing, descriptive geometry and perspective. I’m also familiar with the history of architecture. The freehand drawing classes in high school were held by an architect. We were drawing buildings and still life compositions with a single graphite pencil or black ink, always from life…

Too tired to try!

While I was sitting outside in the garden, something suddenly struck my mind and I don’t know why but I wanted to draw a picture like this, so I took a reference as well…

Angela Armano, Artist

I am a 46 year old full time administrative assistant and part-time lover of art.

I long to create art while I am sitting at my desk working and think about it all of the time. I get home, take care of the family and it seems art always takes a back seat. Well, I say no more. I want my dream to become a reality of being able to create…

Art Stroke

People say and I also feel that I’m creative. I have many ideas for drawing and painting, but sometimes it’s difficult to implement. I need to learn how to paint and draw, so it would help to become a better artist and fully express myself in art…

Unfinished Piece

I am Jerameel Lu, 25, a hobbyist from the Philippines. I am a Civil Engineer by profession, but Art is my passion.

For now, Art is just my hobby: I’m still busy earning a living as an engineer, so I have little time to work on creative projects. For this reason, inspiration rarely strikes me. My job is internet-based and I work alone in my room on engineering estimates late into the night, and only log-off at 8 in the morning.

Due to lack of proper knowledge about art, I grew up doing portraiture by copying what I see in the picture. At first that was the true meaning of perfection for me, when I can copy what I see, I am good. But not until I wake up one day, watched some of Web Art Academy’s free videos and reality smacked me, I am not good, I am just a human copying-machine…

WANTED: help to become a better artist

My passion for art has blossomed in to a joyful place where I am free…
