My name is Frances White, I am 68 years old living in Trinidad and Tobago. When I was around 10 years I remember coming 3rd on an island wide competition for students. Right now art is a hobby but I want to become a profession and make a living from it. I am self taught but winning through Drawing Academy and doing the course I will be taught proper rules on drawing which will enhance my works.
is needed, right here, in front of my Canvas, but it does not come on demand! Getting in the flow of creating art, be it an image from my brain or a copy of one of my favourite masterpieces in history, it doesn’t matter much.
To me art is everything. I have nothing much to say
Hello. My name is Lisa Lockett and I started drawing at the age of five. It seemed to come naturally for me and I enjoyed it so much that I could do it for hours. However, I put my art away and attained a degree in Journalism/Advertising from the University Of Missouri-Columbia. There, I studied Advertising and Design and was later able to own my own graphic design firm, Lockett Design, in the University Tower in St. Louis. Later I went to work for a prominent law firm in St.Louis as Marketing Coordinator. I left the firm to freelance as a designer and later an artist because I realized that is where my true passion and talent lies.
I have had no formal art education, but was always attracted towards it since childhood. Finally, I decided to give up my job (been 2 years now) and completely get into arts so that I can practice and study arts (currently studying through books and learning Indian traditional art from a sculptor).
My name is Wassim Touir and I’m 18 years old.
I started drawing since I was 5 years old, and I began to learn by myself through internet videos and free e-books, but I figured out that I wasn’t improving very much so I really wanted to sharpen my drawing skills by learning from the old masters and I found that Drawing Academy is the best place where I can benefit from the knowledge and the support giving by the academy tutors.
I have always dreamt of becoming an artist since I was a child yet never had the chance to realise this dream. I’ve been taught that one can never make a living as an artist and that pretty much affected the choices I’ve made. I did not choose to pursue art in school and when I finally decided that I wanted to in university, it was too late because I didn’t have the pre-requisites.
I am a sessional teacher. However, I don’t teach art but I have come to the realisation that art can play a part in peoples lives that few other subjects can. I would like to teach drawing in particular, as this form totally absorbs the mind and can relax students that are stressed. I find there are few teachers that can actually draw well and if I am going to teach drawing I need to be as good as I can be.
Greg Lumberjack, born in Rose Valley Sask. in 1966. I moved to Regina in the early 70s..and have lived here most of my life. My art interest didn’t come to life until I got a pencil in my hand and made little sketches of animals, cars and other scenes.
I have been drawing off and on for some years. until recently I started getting into painting and different medias. And realize art has endless opportunities, and that is what keeps my drive for art to keep going.
