My Artist Wants Out

Art has always been a part of my life. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. My great uncle was a wood worker, both of my parents can draw and all of my brothers and sisters can draw. When I was around 13 or 14, my father brought home a book he had picked up in Florida. It was "Faeries" by Alan Lee and Brian Froud. I was completely hooked! This book indulged my curiosity and lit a fire inside of me. I drew from that book religiously. However, I could never render my own images as well. I still can't.

A 100 for Bruce, inspired on sharing the knowledge with all human beings!

I am an art and film lover, I have been painting since I was a little girl. Art is part of my life and yet I feel I will be always learning something new.

Heaven awaits

I am 85 years young, a self taught artist largely. I like drawing faces. And I am presently enthralled with the color theory lessons of the Old Masters course and eager to apply. What a unique find!

The Seven Shadows of Man

I'm a 38 old artist from St. Louis Missouri. I have been an artist since I can remember as a child. Recently I lost two of my 6-foot pieces of art in the floods that came in Arkansas, and I am trying to rebuild my art.

When I walk in my garden

Art is all my life, the challenge is to express my feelings with high level of quality drawing. I want to learn old drawing and paintings techniques.

I would love to be a something art related like a graphic designer or architect in the future. I’ve been drawing for almost all of my life and the love I have for art is unconditional and exciting. Loving the community and everything they bring to the table I would like to be apart of it.

Drawing by Gini MacDonald

I picked up my first pencil to draw six years ago, in my late 50s. Before that I never had the confidence to try any art or be creative. Luckily time and opportunity had come into my life to allow me to take my first timid steps.

After many challenges in my life, I can dedicate all my time to art. I sketch daily and also work in other mediums. Art is my salvation from the past.

Drawing by Lin Rhys

I grew up with art - my parents were artists. As a kid, I was always more interested in science, though. I started college majoring in science, and then I ended up in humanities, where I found a renewed love for art through art history and visual communications.

I feel like I’ve always had artistic skills, and so I may have taken them for granted - even neglected them.

Drawing by Gwendalynn W.

I love drawing and find it relaxing.

Art is more a side hobby unfortunately because of my job.

My biggest challenge in art would be drawing people and confidence in my skill, I don't like showing it.

I would love to learn to better whatever talent I have, if you can do something then you should straighten that skill and use it.
