From Doru Dragomir
I am DORU,
A lover of and provider art who has reached almost six decades of life.
Ever since I was 13 years old, due to the guidance of the drawing professor, I have been lucky enough to stay on a drawing stool, in front of a drawing board that I was not separated from for the next 10 years, in which I have learned a lot about art (artistic middle school, artistic high-school, a post-high-school art school) when I have specialized in sculpture…

Hola les escribo en español por que no se hablar el ingles, realmente deseo ganar este curso gratuito ya que en mi pais es muy dificil encontrar una enseñanza tan avanzada como la que ustedes ofrecen no solo es la situacion economica si no, tambien la educacion en el pais no esta acoplada para crear artistas de gran calidad, vivo en El Salvador, soy estudiante de artes plasticas en la universidad de El Salvador, mi sueño mas grande es pintar como los grandes maestros y poco a poco he ido avanzando lo que no aprendo en la universidad poco a poco lo he ido aprendiendo viendo sus videos en Youtube, aunque han sido cortos y solo los he visto por que no hablo el idioma ingles me han sido mas que suficientes para poder aprender nuevas cosas realmente tienen las mejores guias para estos tiempos y con su ayuda fomare como un completo profesional se que posiblemente mi obra no participe por ser una copìa del maestro Bouguereau pero creo que copiando se afilan las tecnicas muchas gracias por recibir mi correo de antemano muchas gracias…

I’m a 56 year old South African female. I never had the chance or opportunity to study art. Before I could read or write, I had a pencil and paper with me wherever I went and would sit and draw. When I went to school, I was drawing portraits of my school friends rather than doing my schoolwork!! I don’t have any particular style of drawing. I basically just start drawing what’s in my mind or what I see. I always wanted to paint but just didn’t know where to start. Finally, in 2009, I built up enough courage with some assistance from Norbert Schling, one of the top South African artists. I purchased some oils and canvass and found my passion in life! I would love to be taught the correct drawing and painting techniques in order to make it possible for me to achieve what I know I am capable of doing once I have the know how…

I am a self taught artist at the age of 26. I have never had the chance to study art. After school, uninformed that art academies exited outside South Africa, I studied graphic designing but did not complete it due to lack of interest.
Growing up in a strict business family, I immediately turned into a entrepreneur to support my wife and child. I started using the internet more and found that there are academies that can actually teach the classical style, which I so called wanted since I could pick up a pencil. So now at the age of 26, it took me 3 years to actually make dramatic move of having a normal life of a business man to an poor artist. It was a risk…
