A Silver Lining

I’ve have been paying close attention to the Drawing Academy for over a year now. I’ve been struggling with fighting the worst enemy: myself.

I’ve always wanted to be an artist, but at the same time, I’ve always made excuses not to do it. I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to find the strength to start. I’ve tried it a few times already, but since I’ve never found a place where they teach you absolutely everything you need to know since the beginning, I always end up dropping it. And I don’t want that anymore.

I really want to be an artist!

Yonas believe that each artists has its own style each has his/ her own style each has its own story to revile his /her story which is so significant and important to the observer.

I am a wig dresser, I work in the theatre, it isn’t a full time job but I love it. As I also come from a makeup background I have always loved to draw and paint, but on a canvas? I am not sure I would be able to master that discipline.

I can certainly paint a face as art is my life, I work and breath it, backstage I watch my live canvas singing on stage.

As I watch them perform I think, I would like to draw and then paint this artist singing and performing, I would love to capture that amazing moment when they are on top of the world doing what they love, I would capture it on a large canvas and they would be so beautiful.

Then there is the reality, where to start, how to start and do I have the skills, can I learn those skills?

Life in Food

Hi, I am Jyotsana Sharma and I am an Artist & Graphic Designer. As I Spend my last 5 yrs for art and communicates through my artworks to the society.

Art is time for me and its important like time is important for me in life.

Time: With shrinking deadlines to get an art piece commissioned is the biggest challenge. Art is a creative process which takes time. With so many art tools available, one can get any amount of artwork done in no time. This is frustrating for the real artists because their market is eaten away in this process.

Freedom to Dance

I have always been interested in Art. As a 19 ur old and pregnant I used charcoal from the fireplace to draw with. I am now retired and am trying to learn to paint in oils and draw portraits. Learn to draw has been a main factor in learning portrait perspectives. I decided to draw this rabbit and push myself to learn to.

Paint fur and shiny ballet slippers. I like to push myself to do things I have never done before and I like to try difficult things.

I would dearly love to win the Drawing Academy course so that I could learn more about portraits and perspectives.
