Hello Friends,
“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short;
but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”- Michelangelo
I love sketching. But since I had to go find myself a job in order to earn a living I gave up my dream to be an artist. Later I spent my years balancing my job, kid and family.
I am a 24 yo French guy who’s currently living in the South of France.
Arts have a unique place in my life, it is helping me to think over, to contemplate, to understand the world’s around me, our nature. It is giving me intellectual satisfaction too cause of a constant learning.
I am working with one wish, putting enough money aside to make A Florence Fine Arts School, I trust that it would be a true help in my development.
Hi, My name is Ivan and I draw whenever I have free time.
My parents are very supportive and they pay for my art education. My friends say I’m good at drawing, but I feel my skills lack anatomy and proportions of a human figure, so I mostly draw still life and very few portraits.
I found the Drawing Academy course and immediately understood that this is what I want – a good all-round drawing course where I can learn how to draw figures and portraits.
Hello to you all. My name is Judith Robinson. I’ve been teaching myself art for a number of years now. Trying all sorts of mediums. Now I have settled on oil portraiture and still life. Portraiture being my first passion. And I mean real passion I love it. I want to get very good at it.
I was drawn back into art when I was unable to work with M.E. Art became my only voice when I was unable to do anything else. It became my lifeline.
My name is Anna and I am a wife to a wonderful husband and mother to a lovely but often infuriating darling daughter.
Art is my place that is for me. I want to take my art to the next level and make more accomplished work. It is my dream that when my daughter goes to school next year that I will be able to be a “proper artist” and make works that sell.
My name is Meg and I am a 37 year old mother of 5. I have a degree in visual art, with a concentration in photography.
I loved my figure drawing classes in college way back when and developed a love for drawing portraits. I am a stay at home mom and with 5 kids my art was put on the back burner for over 13 years. My children are finally getting independent enough for me to start making art again. I can draw anything from a photograph but I can no longer draw whatever comes to mind without something to look at.
My life has come around full circle from childhood, back to an overwhelming passion for art and the need to create. Grade school art class introduced me to drawing when our assignment was to draw our dream house. From there, I learned from books and used reference photos. I even did some fashion drawings in the 6th grade! In college, I studied interior design where drafting, drawing and rendering were my favorite classes. Later, I studied graphic design and art history. I have changed careers several times, and even though they were in creative fields, my passions were not fulfilled as it is in drawing, painting and sculpture.
Hi, I’m Mark Buhay.
I’m still studying currently on the course called “Information Communication Technology”. I started drawing since I was young, but i didn’t really study drawing because of lack of money :(, Its been a hard time for me to draw portraits from pictures, still life, it always make me frustrated, so I just keep on drawing that only comes to my mind, especially this one, it was my original creation, I know its not good enough, but I’m willing to learn more.
Hi everyone!
My name is Natalia. As I can remembered myself art always was a part of my everyday life. At first, there were many colored books, then my own drawings, then some art classes at school and finally many books about fine art. Nevertheless, all this was undirected and without any guidance.
Hello,
My name is Anita, I live in Germany and I love old masters works. I started to paint late at the age at 17 and even later, theoretically, to deal with art as well and finally I discovered my admiration for the old masters.
I painted a lot in allaprima and so,painting in many layers was a challenge to my patience because I had to take a break for two weaks after every layer.
