Talaya Lightbourne’s Artistry

Artwork by Talaya Lightbourne

Hi, everyone. My name is Talaya Lightbourne. I’m a 21 year old student pursuing my dream to become an artist. At age 11, I discovered that art was my passion and creative outlet, from middle school to high school I have taken all art classes. However, when I graduated high school due to finances i had to go to a college not of my choosing and the majors were limited, in the end I stuck with a major that didn’t align with my true path in life which is art. Now, I am starting over again to get back into my artistry and to become the artist I was born to be…

My Amour with Art continues…

Artwork by

I have a Masters degree in Computer Science and worked in the software industry for 16 years. Having to manage a family and a demanding career took a toll on my health and 4 years back I gave up my job and went back to my childhood passion – art. Art has been therapeutic in so many ways, restoring my mental health and wellbeing. I don’t think I could have survived this change in my lifestyle without art.

I started with acrylic and oil, but the medium I find most challenging and close to my heart is water colours. I love putting in people, especially children in my paintings. Since I have never had any formal training in drawing, I find it difficult to get the right posture and the right proportions. I am a regular reader of Drawing Academy newsletter and after going through the free art instructional material in this website, I think that I would really benefit from your course, especially since Drawing Academy puts so much emphasis on learning from the old masters and the age-old, proven, traditional drawing methods…

The Art & Soul of Chantal Handley

Artwork by Chantal Handley

I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, although I have never had any formal Fine Art training.

I attended the Advertising Academy in Brisbane, studying graphic design and gaining an excellent knowledge of computers and graphic programs.

I worked in the Graphic Design industry for 10 years before I finally grew tired of sitting at a computer and not drawing. I still felt I needed the security of commercial art and since I’ve always been interested in animation went on to complete a Bachelor of Animation at Griffith University, Queensland College of Art in Brisbane, learning 2D & 3D traditional animation techniques…

I’m an 18 years old girl which started painting and drawing since I was a little girl. I think I’m blessed that i have such a beautiful talent, because anyone of my family don’t have any talent about art.

I love math, that maybe because of my dad, who loves math too.

First I started with pastels, than acrylics, and last year with oil. I love to create clothes and I’ve made many illustrations of my creations. I have knowledge about art of graphic.

I love art history and I have very good knowledge about anatomy of human body…

Kant’s Apple

Artwork by Cody J. Hedges

I’m a 22 year old aspiring artist. I love Philosophy so my artistic program includes the integration of visual imagery and metaphysics. This is the motivation behind my submission titled Kant’s Apple. It is a depiction of the constitutive nature of human cognition and critique on the integrity of appearance.

I love the Drawing Academy course! …

Artwork by Tess Wyly

About 2 years ago I took a beginning drawing course and discovered that with encouragement and training I CAN DRAW.

I enjoy drawing and am learning a lot from library books and free internet lessons. I’ve also been helping a teaching artist at a senior center so I can learn from what she is teaching others.

Drawing Academy lessons are well-structured and my learning will be accelerated by a planned course.

I am a disciplined learner and I’m already sharing what I know with others…

Bashful Girl

Artwork by Diane Baldessari

I hadn’t been drawing for years and then when I retired I joined the Senior Center in town. I was lucky to join an art class that had a retired art teacher as the instructor and she was a wonderful inspiration. This pencil sketch is the product of her great instruction and patience. A good teacher is something to be admired…
