I love art! have loved it since I was a child, when I used to look through my parents books on artists like Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet and Manet.
I tried to copy some of these art works, but I felt there was something wrong with just copying even though I learned something from it. It did teach me an appreciation for art though that has never left me. Some kids would much rather play video games than go to an art gallery, but not me.
I am a retired architect and have enjoyed art my whole career. Prior to my career I enjoyed art as a child and often did drawings of dogs, horses and even street maps. Even back then my parents encouraged me to continue doing art works. Over the years I have acquired watercolor, oil paints and pastels such that many are plus forty years old and still useable.
I drew this from a photo of the neighborhood I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA. The “streetcar” (trolley) traveled between downtown to the Mt. Washington section of the city.
My name is Sara Daryaa. I’ve been interested in drawing since I was a child. In my opinion drawing ideal for contemporary use as a reflection of reality. I dreamed about making people a bit slower and see reality filled with signs, this is why I’m so near to naive art.
Hi,
My name is Felicia. This year I graduated from Art school in Sibiu. The passion for art I have since childhood, but until 3 years ago I don’t have opportunity to develop it. After my boy left for college, I decided to take care of my passion and do something about it. That’s why I enrolled at Art school in Sibiu. I started with drawing, then for 3 years I started to paint. After my family, art is the most important thing in my life.
I really like to do portraits and I’ve won a lot of competitions in the school.
I am a self taught artist. I have always loved to draw. I want to improve my skills in general. I would especially like to learn how to paint.
My name is Beatriz Alves, I am a Brazilian artist.
I love drawing since childhood, but I started taking it seriously recently, which changed my life.
Art is what brings excitement to my existence. Waking up knowing that I can create something that other people can relate to is what makes me want to continue living and what helped me to overcome really difficult moments.
Haii I’m shay. I absolutely adore art.
Hi, my name is Geert De Vuyst.
I am a male in his early fifties and live in Belgium between Antwerp and Ghent. There’s even an art gallery nearby with the same surname: ‘De Vuyst’ (de-vuyst.com/en)
This has some advantages, especially the fact that I have access to a lot of museums where some of the finest flemish old masters art is being kept. One of my preferred places in Antwerp is the Rubens house where Peter Paul Rubens used to live. (rubenshuis.be/en)
Hello,
I am a psychologist, and I draw since my childhood. Drawing has always helped me when I feel the need for a companion so I open my notebook and draw and feel comfortable.
My biggest challenge in art is the lack of good learning resources through which I can develop.
