The Lady

The Lady

Artwork by Evita Norkute

I am a 17 years old girl from Denmark. I have been drawing ever since I can remember. Drawing have always been something I wanted and loved to do. Drawing provides me so much happiness while I am drawing and not less satisfaction when I am looking to my finished work. I started drawing with pencil, later with acrylic, but at the last i discovered, that the oil painting is something for me. I am really busy in my everyday, because I am studying hard and in my free time I play piano, read, write, draw and train karate, that’s why i mean online courses will be a great thing to me, because it wouldn’t take so much time, like the normal courses will…

HOMAGE TO THE LEGEND

My name is Vivek Mandrekar and I am a Sr. Art Director for Movie Posters. I am a self-taught artist, never been to any art school or had any formal training.

My close friend’s Dinesh Nair & Balaji Waghmare introduced me to the basics of Adobe Photoshop & Wacom Intuos pen tablet. Gradually I was
inspired by Sheridan J and other great digital artist’s.

feedback from many contemporaries, colleagues & well wishers, gave me a jump start to do more digital paintings followed by Leonardo DiCaprio, Tony Montana & more…

Need to learn more than copying

Need to learn more than copying

Artwork by William Grant

I want to become a professional artist and took lessons from an artist who taught the sight size method which employs placing the item drawn or painted directly next to the paper or canvas. It helped in learning how to draw but I feel that I’m limited in that I can only copy things and have a really hard time drawing from my imagination. The Drawing Academy would help me in becoming a complete artist…

Things That Matter Most

Things That Matter Most

Artwork by Amanda Maillet

Hi my name is Amanda. I am currently studying Zoology and Ecology at James Cook University in Australia. As a way to help pay for my education I have been selling some of my artwork. Art has always been a hobby for me. When it came time to choose a major, I considered studio arts. What held me back is that I didn’t want to put stress with art. It was my way to de-stress, so I stuck with science and kept art for a hobby. Now I would like to improve my art. I have done some portraits for people but have never felt like they were done to the fullest of my abilities…

My Love of Art!

My Love of Art!

Artwork by Lavina Kueker

I’m 63 yrs old, I grew up loving art. In my late teens and early 20’s I sold several pieces, as I grew old life happened and became a widow with 2 children to rear. So the responsibilities of this life took me away from my first love, art! Five year ago I became disabled and for the first time did not know what to do with my life.

I heard an Italian sing group made up of three teenagers called “Il Volo”, Falling in love with their beautiful music, they spoke of following their dreams and that anyone can dream! So two year later I said why not. I purchased what I needed and began sketching again. Though very crude at first, it finally started coming back. I have been selling some pieces again and I sketch daily, but even at my age I know there is still much to learn. I cannot get out because of my disability, but I can learn and that is what I want to do! …
