Why I need to take this course

Why I need to take this course

Artwork by Venetia Cox

I’ve been drawing since I can remember, I’ve always been inclined towards creative hobbies especially music and art.

I’m 16 and homeschooling and about to start hairdressing at Tafe next year.

I’ve been doing so much drawing practice, I feel like I’ve improved so much since I started drawing everyday. I think I’m a real fast learner when it comes to these things…

The Grand Style

The Grand Style

Artwork by Slater Smith

Hello,

I’m a 16 year old in high school who wants to become a Master in the art of painting and I believe that learning how to draw first is the best way of getting there and that the Drawing Academy can help me get accomplish my goal. It wasn’t until earlier this year that I had grown a love for art. It probably was not until June that I seriously wanted to become a fine artist. My path so far has been kind of bumpy.

Before drawing, I am usually overcome by this sense of fear that what I produce won’t be to my liking. This leads to me going for days without picking up the pencil for anything but school work. Ignoring practice is not good for my hand and is my main weakness at the moment. My skills progress slowly because of that. So I usually end up reading art books instead of drawing, as if looking for something to motivate me…

Breaking the Ties that Blind

Drawing by Kate Evans

Hello!

I’m Kate Evans a freelance and emerging fine artist based in Wales. I have been drawing and painting since i was the age of three and since then I have venturing into the dark woods of the subconscious. I could be possibly described as a surrealist but i guess without pigeon holing myself I can say that I favourably describe in a visual sense the dimension of quirky distorted realities.

More often than not I have described colourful, sometimes comical narratives within my practice, however the project that I wish to present to you was totally outside anything that I had created before…

I create, therefore I am

I create, therefore I am

Artwork by Rena

Having recommenced drawing after 30 years of ‘silence’, on a day I got laid off, I could no longer deny the need for creative self-expression. I’m fascinated by a human body, it’s universal anatomy, and at the same time that unique detail that makes every person unlike any other.

To me art is a possibility, a privilege of trying to capture a temporary nature of life and seek understanding…

Artwork by Levi

My Name is Levi, I’m 21 years old from Brazil.

I live in Sobral in CearĂ¡, in the northeast of the states; there are no drawing schools here!

I am very interested in art! I would love to learn classical drawing from a teacher who really mastered it!

Traveling to other towns that are far away to study drawing is not an option for me.

Searching the internet I found the Drawing Academy, where I realized that this must be one of the best schools that teach traditional art! …

Reverie Addict

Artwork by Qing Yang

Since young, I have been bestowed with a gift of visualizing almost everything I hear, smell, and sense and thus it took me a long time to fix the leaky boundary between reality and reverie. Admittedly, this uncontrollable power brought to my childhood many obstacles like minor dyslexia, but it also set me free when I was physically or mentally trapped in an unpleasant situation.

The world in my eyes is too miraculous and capricious to be rendered in any other way than painting and this is the very reason why I have kept drawing stubbornly even after my own father yelled at me, “You are not the material!” I haven’t had a chance to receive any formal artistic education but I’ve been inspired by so many remarkable and respectful artists who share the same obsession with arts. To bring out my reverie onto paper is my dream. Or rather, it is my mission…
