XVIII Century French Master

XVIII Century French Master

Artwork by Emmanuel

Hello to you all art lovers,

My name is Emmanuel, I live in France, and I love to draw since I am a child.

I love the XVIII century French Masters for at least two reasons. First they have the technical heritage of the western renaissance, and they invented a new artistic style which is called “Roccoco” it means “Rocaille” in French…

Joy of the simple line

Joy of the simple line

Artwork by Karen

I love to paint but drawing was always my passion as a child. As the years passed so many things in life demanded my time , work , kids & just the day to day business of life. I would love to rekindle my love of the simple joy of drawing. There is nothing as lovely and elegant as a beautifully drawn pencil or pen & ink. Plus it is the foundation of every great painting…

Roxy & Airoso

Artwork by Claudia Luethi alias Abdelghafar

I am a Swiss artist who has began to create an international art career. I draw and paint in a realistic style but with my own style not hyper-realistic. I try to give the paintings and drawings live and soul. so when you pass for example drawings and paintings of myself with an animal you think “has it moved?”

In the drawing you see I was drawing two horses of a friend of mine who gave me here high professional camera to take pictures from me paintings to be able to make also prints of it.
I was so happy that I wanted to give here something really personal back so I made this drawing of here horses…

TENDERNESS

TENDERNESS

Artwork by Carol GRACE de SOFIA

I have always drawn or painted off and on throughout my life. I am self-instructed, from books, observing works of art, watching tutorials in the internet, asking questions here and there.

Almost 60 years later, the same “bubbling” remains inside my belly!

And fortunate enough, I found the DRAWING ACADEMY in the web! I am absolutely delighted about the quality of its presentations, both in videos and texts…

The Drawing Academy can help me become a Master Artist

The Drawing Academy can help me become a Master Artist

Artwork by Ronnie Rayner Larter

I have always been interested in art since the late 1960’s and have studied as a self-taught artist. However, when I was 37 years old I embarked on a 2-year graphic design and illustration course at art college. I have also taken fine art studies part-time but found them disappointing as they never taught students ‘how to draw’, which was a huge drawback. Eventually, I taught myself by studying the techniques of the old masters. I consider myself to be a reasonably good artist, but feel certain the Drawing Academy could help me progress to the level of a master artist…

Nobody-Girl

Celia Salazar

I am a Mexican girl, in her 20s,

I’ve always loved everything that has to do with arts, but for personal and family reasons, besides the lack of schools in my country, I never had the opportunity and the support to study art as it should, so I had to find the way to study on my own with books, videos, internet and lots of practice, but it’s never enough,
I never found any course that offered all the things that web art academy does and here I am :) …

“Waking up” – Painting

Painting by Serap Arslankoc

This painting comes from my soul. I always painted as far as I remember myself. :) It was forbidden in my childhood, to not make dirty. This is still hurting and I am trying to get over.
Painting is meaningful to me and I am meaningful for painting. It is light of me…

Rifleman Raoul

Rifleman Raoul

Artwork by T. Stonefield

As a Revolutionary War reenactor, I often take on the persona of an 18th Century itinerant artist, traveling from one historic house to the next. After painting each of the Mallaliu children, I decided to paint their father, Raoul dressed as an 1812 Rifleman. Not only does the painting detail the rifleman uniform and its accoutrements, but it reflects the model’s stance and personality set in one of the original battle sites…

Rams fight

Rams fight

Painting by Metin Sharifov

In Azerbaijan ram fights were a part of traditions from ancient times. Rams carried a symbolic meaning, that’s why graves of soldiers and commanders were decorated with sculptures of rams.

This painting represents a ram fight in front of the ancient double gate of Old City (Baku).

My goal is to promote the art of Azerbaijan and improve my experiences…
