Artwork by Olga Retyunskaya

Hi,

My name is Olga. I love drawing since I was a kid. But I have never done this professionally. I only started to think that I need art education about a year ago.

I started to make sketches every day, painting literally everything I see. I like oil painting a lot and made several pieces using this technique.

At the moment I use the Internet as the main source of art education. I would like to improve my skills under guidance of Drawing Academy teachers…

Artwork by Yaroslava Slavkina

Hello, to everyone! My name is Yaroslava, I’m from Kiev, Ukraine.

I’m going crazy from drawing since I was a child.

But no drawing knowledge and unsuccessful attempts made me believe that I can not draw.

I have a son Alexey he is nine and he likes to draw very much. He often asks me : “how to draw this or that”.

And because of him I started learning how to draw to explain him…

Artwork by Alasia Unique

Since the age of six, Al Asia Unique has learned to express herself on canvas. From re-creating the beauty that she sees with her eyes to imagining worlds beyond expression, this artist brings theory to reality. Her multi cultural upbringing allows her to see things from different perspectives. Her life’s experiences allow her to evoke emotions from deep within and lay them out before you in picture form…

Artwork by Julio

I never received any artistic training not even practiced on my own until September last year. I always enjoyed art but I never considered myself with enough “talent” to give it a try.

Just out of curiosity I looked into several links in internet and some books and I frequently saw the same agreement, drawing is just another skill that can be learnt. Knowing myself I might not be “talented” but surely I am stubborn enough to learn anything if it requires passion and practice and I have plenty of those..

Also since I started I noticed how drawing is now really important to me. When I draw I loose completely the sense of time and I am not able to explain clearly how does it make me feel. I guess is one of those things you need to experiment yourself to have a clear understanding of what I mean. So I also take the opportunity to invite you to give it a try. You can not be worse of what I thought of myself when I started…

Artwork by Ricardo Basilio

I’m drawing since I was a child. I remember my father bringing some papers and pencils from the office and, for me, that was the best present. Some years later, I had the happiness to find two excellent teachers: Geraldo Aguiar and Renato Alarcão.

Watercolours and Dry pastel are my favorite techniques and, when I see the members are presenting here, I think this is one more place to consider as a school…

Artwork by Sanjana Malik

I love nature, animals and oceans. As we know, oceans are being polluted by tons of plastic and then animals like fish, sea turtles either gets entangled or consume the plastic. Similarly, I show how fish are being affected by plastic in my art. I used pieces of plastic to cover half of fish body to depict that it’s transforming into plastic. So I just want to create awareness about plastic in the ocean through my art…
