Artwork by Brighita Weinberg
My name is Brighita Weinberg, I am 67 year old. I was a professional woman, now am retired. All my life I liked drawing and was fascinated with the works of art. Especially I enjoyed oil paintings of the old masters, their techniques and the way they connect to the viewer.
Most of my training is self taught, and now I am participating in more formal education .I am also using the internet as a source for my training.
The submitted painting is related the picture of my niece that is a solger in the Israeli army. Her gaze and determination attracted me to paint this picture.
I do believe that more formal training in the Drawing Academy will help me to advance in this field, and fulfill my dream to become an artist…

Artwork by Zawar Ali Zahid
My name is Zawar Ali Zahid. I’m 21, studying textile designing in Iqra University, Islamabad.
I have my main focus mainly on the shades. Its very much fascinating working with shades. Those tones from high to low and there effect of surprising the next person by converting the image to a hyper-realistic form. Shades are something that also merge within your life. I love working on graphite shades.
Most of my work is on human portraits. Imaginative characters and human figure drawings. The way an artist adds that movement that some kind of tick in the drawing that it comes to a real life object’ that point is something that fascinates me. And I dig myself in that thing to complete it and bring out the that unique piece that no one have seen. Proportions are very important and the perspective….

Artwork by George Phillips
I was born in Brockton, MA. I am a self taught artist and I love painting and drawing. Unfortunately I am unable to attend a traditional atelier and am in need of the drawing academy program in order to improve my life and my art. I’m currently studying to earn a degree in art therapy. I hope to share the joy and healing power of art with others to improve their lives and health.
I think that the Drawing Academy is a great way for aspiring artists to improve their art…

Artwork by Eileen R Weaver
I want to paint in the same style of the old masters fully learning the steps and layered style which they used from start to end. We should be learning and passing on time honored technique for future generations. I see everything in the high skills of the old masters but do not have the knowledge to attempt the stages to bring about the required result …

One morning 5:10 AM, I was on the way to my gym. Suddenly I saw some light in one window. One girl was getting ready for morning walk, when I was looking at her, she looked at me and I saw her beautiful face in dim yellow light. It was Awesome, I went back to my room and I draw this painting…

Artwork by Cami Lintz
Hello! My name is Cami Lintz and I am a 17 year old self-taught artist. Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, I never had too many opportunities other than in school to fully immerse myself within an art lesson. I was more or less left to venture into the wonderful world of the internet and learn through trial and experience on how to draw.
If you open my google page right at this moment, you will find unending searches on ‘How to draw realistically’ and countless YouTube tutorials already viewed over at least 10 times. I feel like as an artist, I’ve learned all I can through conventional art courses. And being where I live, there are few opportunities in my area to take many art classes suited to my skill and age group…

Winning the Drawing Academy course will help me build the self-esteem that I greatly lack and maybe make me actually feel good about myself …

Artwork by Priska Flandorfer
I’m a freelance artist located in Vienna, Austria. I’m interested in art since my teenage years but due to my lack of self-confidence back these days, I never dared to believe I could draw.
I never met one of my two grandmothers, they were dead before I was born. From one of them I own some of her drawings and paintings. She mastered both these forms of art and I thought, why not try it too. Although I never met her, I can now connect with her by knowing how it is to learn such a wonderful skill.
So I took a good book from Barrington Barber and began to seriously start learning to draw. Anyone who tries something new, knows that only persistence is the key to success. I made progress and had a lot of fun while drawing…

Many people don’t enjoy making and/or seeing art… that’s not good because art is helping people to express feelings and to communicate.
I want to change the perception about art in that way that anyone would love it and enjoy it…
