First of all, thank you so much for your inspiring sharing through your free-video lessons and tutorials!! They are absolutely EXCELLENT! and have given me fantastic and clear tips and hints which have enriched my self-instruction tremendously. I can’t imagine how much more one could profit from a complete course and feedback…
I live in PATAGONIA-ARGENTINA, and have just retired (and with the minimum amount). I have drawn and painted off and on throughout the years, during the in-between of a mother’s hectic life. Being a school teacher has never being very rewarding financially, so part of my artistic adventure has been indulging in improvised alchemy discovering economical painting mixes with everyday materials from the house, construction, or collecting beads and fruits for tints or using even coal direct from the fire pit…

Artwork by Heather Rigby
My name is Heather Rigby, and I am an artist. I am a 20 years old, and live in the United States. I am on a journey of learning. Ever since I was young, I have had a passion for art. Not only for drawing, but for painting, sculpting, woodworking, and even Art History.
Art is my life, and I long to learn as much as I can about it. I have never had any professional training. I have learned only by observing other artists around me. By viewing fine works of art, and by studying techniques used by successful artists. Even though I have learned much on my journey, I want to learn more. Not only would I be very happy to win free lessons, but I would also be very grateful. It would help me take another step towards becoming the type of artist that I truly want to be. As a very wise man (and my favorite artist) once said, Learning never exhausts the mind. (Leonardo da Vinci) I love to learn, and I long to learn more…

Artwork by Mario Pathaw
Like everyone else in this world, I too am just trying to struggle through in this life. Well the only inspiration that keeps me moving on and on is My Art. Art is sacred to me. I have had some of the most personal moments because of art. I, Mario Pathaw was born into a Great Catholic family to Mrs. Rosa D. Pathaw and (L) Dr. Pascal Malngiang. Ever since I was a little boy my parents took me to the cathedral every Sundays, and this is how Art came into my life. Every day the Baroque Paintings of the Cathedral seems to talk to me. well they speak more than the sermons of the priests. To some I maybe considered an absent minded child but they don’t understand what I am feeling because they can’t see the Art through my eyes. Even to this very day, i would like to be alone and just stare at these paintings…

Drawing by Mario Pathaw
Just as the title suggests, art is my love. Ever since I was a little boy, Art is like a guiding light unto my feet. I was born into a Roman Catholic Family and since I was months old, my parents took me to church every Sunday. To this very Day, the baroque paintings in church seems to speak to me more than the sermons. Whenever I feel blue or joyful, I like to be left alone in the cathedral and stare at these paintings, and every time I look at the it feels like it’s the first time. Art has changed my life and kept me on the right track; and there were many personal moments in my life that happened because of Art. I lost my father 1 year ago and to me most of the moments I can ever recall that we had in common is art. Art is the only thing that keeps me moving on, to chase my dreams with integrity…

Artwork by Claudia Olivos
Hello, my name is Claudia Olivos, I am a native of Chile, currently residing in Washington DC.
I have been drawing since before I could walk. My father was a painter and I grew up going to museums with him in Mexico and New York City, art has always been an integral part of me.
My papa died when I was 17 years old and I stopped making art for a year in his honor.
A year later, partly to get away from an abusive home- I married and soon became a mama… I continued to paint and even studied painting, but I was never formally “taught”-not really-most of the college courses were based on “critiques” never on technique, so although I have a degree… I am really and truly: self taught, and I feel my art would benefit greatly from formal lessons as those offered here. *fingers & toes crossed to win*…

Artwork by Jonathan Andrade
My names is Jonathan Andrade and I am a self taught artist from Chicago. Since a young age, art has always caught my attention and has continued to spark my creativity throughout the years. At the age of 9, I began drawing alongside a good friend of mine, we began with creating our own comic books. I would draw everyday practicing in order to become better at what to me at the time was a hobby. I started at first experimenting with pencils, slowly but surely I began to use from crayons to color pencils and pastels. As the years passed and my interest grew, I learned more about the art world and all its different mediums available which allowed me to begin to expand my horizons…

Artwork by Marcel Gallik
My name is Marcel. I’m from Slovakia. I paint and draw since childhood and always want my pictures to show things as they really are. My passion leads me to learning and exploring the language of symbolism, which allows me to tell stories and reach human inside.
I was fascinated by paintings of old well-known painters, however, I didn’t have an opportunity to study fine arts at a specialized school. Nevertheless, I studied alone, read and I looked at paintings. Later, I saw paintings in the Vatican Museum, Michelangelo fresca and sculptures, Carravagio, Tiepollo, Da Vinci, Rembrandt; these paintings fascinated me.
I did a lot of portraits and landscapes in pencil, pastel, and oil. But I know that I need to learn. ..
