Story and artwork from Paul Reeb

My name is Paul Reeb. I am almost 65 years old. I have had a career in commercial art for the past 40 years, however my true passion is studying the old masters and trying to perfect their techniques. I decided to take the Old Masters Painting class as a way to increase my knowledge of those techniques. The Old Masters Academy encourages drawing and painting from memory and imagination. I have enjoyed the painting course and would like to continue with the Drawing Academy.

I am also waiting, waiting for your answer to the question of what does this drawing mean to you? Does it mean that you would like to share your opinion about the skill of the artist or does it mean that you like the subject matter.

Story and artwork from Damon Daulerio

I’ve been drawing since I was 6 years old. I have never received any formal training. I have a full time job and drawing is now a hobby for me. I do it at night time and on the weekends when I have time.

Hello I am Sahar, I always dreamed about studying art and learning drawing, but instead I had to choose graphic design as a major to be able to find a job and be financially secure. Now after graduating and finding a job I don’t feel the fulfillment and the joy and my soul is starving for art.

I immerse myself in painting. It make me collect my thoughts and calm myself.
