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.

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…
