Artwork by Lynn Osepchuk This is a portrait done in pencil with a little pastel in the background. It was a real photo of me at two years old taken by Olan Mills Photography in black and white with a little dusting of pale yellow in the background to make the photo look a bit vintage. There’s something comforting about…
Art has become me. I believe that the only true meaning of life is to be found in creation itself.
Everything was created with meaning and for a purpose.
I would love to be able to create that others can appreciate the now, the yesterdays and the people, places, politics, religion which made us, us.
Winning this competition would help me to better develop my skills as a fine artist so that I can pass these skills on to my students and fellow artists…
Hello everybody,
My name is Emmanuel.
This is my third time participation in this great contest, so this time I wanted to show something different of a pure drawing. This time I wanted to show something more colorful such as a painting.
This portrait is made after Edouard Cabane, a French artist of late 19 early 20 century. He was a student of the very well known great artist W A Bouguereau…
I’m a 17 years old fine arts student from the Philippines.
I just started my drawing career a year ago…
I’m a classical animator who learned life drawing through the discipline of animation. I enjoy the complexity of the human figure and all life for that matter.
Capturing life and channeling it into a drawing or sketch is the magic I gravitate to in all art. ..
Whenever I dedicate time to art, it seems to me that life is more colourful. Also whenever I spend too much time doing it, things start to lose colour. I thought that one day when I have all the time in the world I may do more creative work. But that time never comes.
I’ve just started my drawing career less than a year ago and I’m willing to be trained by the mentors here aside from my school. I hope this will be the right way for me being a fine artist. I’ve learned this style few days ago after I watched this video “Help! I can’t draw“, it helps me a lot.
Since I was discarded from my job as a security systems engineer because i was over 54 (that is some kind of trend on not just a few European schools of management…), i devoted myself to what looked to be to me an hidden passion for painting.
Now, almost seven years of a self-taught oil painting path, not yet fulfilled as far as I am concerned about what I think is correct and pleasant to my eyes, I reached a point where everything drove to that point where the lack of minimum drawing skills and hard work on what looks to be the fundamental basis of all art stands as a must goal…
I’m trying to learn how to draw on my own – I read everything I can on the internet and in books.
Artists are not valued in my country like in the US and Europe…
I am Kostantia from Greece. I started studying in the university of Fine Arts, years ago. A lot of hard things in life forced me to discontinue my studies. I never stopped being in love with art and now I am back and want to start learning again…
