I love to draw and paint all day and all night.
I want to win to learn more and more new things and new techniques. I am trying to find my own personal way. I have been trying to teach myself from books and you-tube videos and now I would like to teach me your Art Academy. I love hours and hours studying all famous painters and I am studying the history of art.This course would be invaluable to me. This course will be moral victory for me. I live in Greece with my husband and I have two children.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to take part in competition…

Shhhh… I have a secret. I have two impediments to becoming a great artist: One, I am technically colorblind; two, I am a new “rightie” ~ due to a slight accident, I am now teaching myself to switch from my left- to my right-hand.
Living in a color-sighted world, I quickly learned that roses are red and violets are blue, socks come in pairs and are easily matched and, most of the time, clothing is labeled. If I accidentally pair an article of clothing that is not traditionally paired together, color-wise, I am often credited with making a bold statement: to which I respond with a big smile.
It wasn’t until I was given an eye test that my colorblindness was discovered. “What number do you see in the circle?” the technician asked me. “Which circle?” I responded.
The entire circle was made up of colors and apparently there was a number inside it made up of differing colors so as to see a contrast. It is contrasts and hues that I do not “see”. As much as I would love to see what others view in an impressionist painting, for example, I’m sorry to say that most of the composition fades from my view. I do not perceive light colors, and often times confuse reds and blues and purples and grays, but I am of the opinion that I imagine them in my mind’s eye. ..

Hello, I’m an Intuitive Artist and I use Art as a channel to connect Superior Dimensions and Cure. For me Art is Medicine :D
I’m an Art Therapist graduated by the Anthroposophic school line and I help people’s Healing and Self-Knowledge processes.
Graduated also as a Graphic Designer and passionated by Sacred Geometry, I use it as tools for Creation of Sacred Symbols, Logos and more.
I always had a very naive drawing style and enjoyed to play with my inner child drawing a lot that way.
Last year I had only 3 private drawing classes and I jumped to a completely new level…

I love to draw and paint all my life. Realistic painting and drawing is for me as interesting as abstract, and I think that is good to try all techniques to find my own personal way.
Thanks for this course no matter who will win and thanks to all who will vote for me…

I came across the “Old Masters Method’s” of classical drawing and painting when I lived in Rome about 2 years ago.
It was love at first sight. Unfortunately I could not afford to study at a one of the Schools/Atelier that taught this method. I am now back home in Cape Town and have been trying to teach myself mostly from books and you-tube videos. This course would be invaluable to me. I would love to eventually start selling my work, but I lack the confidence and need that extra guidance and help to take my drawing to the next level…

My name is Gilberto Mello, l live now in Houston, TX, but originally come from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Despite my age (I won’t tell you!) I consider myself a young artist who seeks inspiration in nature as well as in man-made creations, such as cityscapes. I learned the drawing and painting of portraits in New York City; I find it very challenging and I try hard to hone my skills in every piece I make.
This one that I present here came from a picture posed by my niece (yes, I draw and paint from both live models and pictures), a recent graduate from acting school, posed in one of her character representations as Medea. I loved the pose and I decided to give it a try on canvas. I mostly did her face and upper body from picture. The rest, including background, grass and pic-nic sheet were fruits of my own imagination.
I am entering this contest because I enjoy what I learned from Web Art and Drawing Academies, in fact Medea is the first work I do after my lessons from these two wonderful fine art courses. With all honesty, I don’t hope to win, but I truly hope to be noticed by other young artists and friends out there in the world…

I’m not quite sure what to do with my life but I’m pretty certain drawing will be apart of it.
Education isn’t my cup of tea being a high school drop out and still trying to get my GED. Drawing is a maze for me. One path lends to accomplishment but I find myself wanting more, a harder challenge, in which that path lends me to frustration and disappointment which cuts me off and not wanting to draw any more. But when I sit and stare at that wall I think maybe some things aren’t meant to be…maybe drawing isn’t what I was meant to do…just maybe. But how come I was able to teach myself how to draw, why is it that I have pictures in my head that were meant to be shown to strangers for they can have purpose to draw. It has to be some thing…

They (the critics) tell me I am an outsider artist because I never went to art school or had have an art or training education.
My passion for painting was like the Big bang theory, it just exploded in my brain one day that a friend gave me some art supplies and I started splashing the canvas with brushes and oils. I got hooked from the beginning. All the time I wanted to be a writer but it was complicated and time consuming, painting was faster and free my spirit to express my emotions in a way that did not need translation like a book does.
It became an obsession and a quest to paint in a way never done before. I created a Non-forgeable technique in a studio-gallery I had in Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach. My drawing skills are still naïve and child-like, that is way I would need some lessons to improve my artworks and my life…

Hi,
I have been drawing all my life. Self taught, I have have no formal training. I mostly read books on art and now with YouTube, I scan for tips and tricks. I have always wanted to be a true artist, and would love to have a formal training that would take me to the next level. I currently live in Scotland with my wife and 2 children…
