An artistic and technological boy

My name is Leandro, I am from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and I am a great lover of the plastic arts. I’m a network technologist and I work for the federal government.

Here in Brazil we do not have many opportunities to live in art, if I did that I would be starving, but it is what I love the most and that is what I do the most when I have any interval of time. I need professional advice to be able to improve my art and make progress in my artistic career.

My main mission would be in the part of portraits drawings, I want to improve my traits and discover new forms and materials. I have a passion for anatomy and human body, these are the areas that give me the most pleasure in drawing.

Museum day

I’m finally retired and can pursue my study of art and artists. I’ve been drawing everyday for the past year, something I never had time to do.

My challenges are that when I studied art at the university level, it was the era of “express yourself!” No training in technique or materials or fundamentals. No information on archival issues.

My focus now is improving my skills in composition — and learning to use watercolor.

J.Me Art

I am British born, living in South Africa working as a restaurant owner with my family.

Art for me is therapy. It allows me to escape to wherever I am painting. With the stresses that come with running a restaurant (especially with family), art is the only thing that keeps me calm.

The challenges I have in art are creativity. I want people to look at my art and know that it was painted by me. I want an art identity. Plus I could do with learning more about figure painting.

About Lauri Wedgworth

Born in 1956, fine artist Lauri Wedgworth grew up in a small farm town west of Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up with farmers and excessive heat, she developed creativity for entertainment and survival.

From an early age it was evident that Lauri had artistic talents. At the age of 10, she won an art competition for creating a famous scene from the Disney movie “The Sword in the Stone”. This drawing was exhibited at the local movie theater.

World of Dreams

I am Julia, a young artist from Russia. Art is my biggest passion and joy.

The biggest challenge in art is pursuing the perfection. So, that is why I would love to learn more about how to be more accurate in my technique.

I think that Drawing Academy is a good opportunity to learn more about art and ways of expressing the ideas. Winning is not my aim, Participation and sharing my art and ideas with people is already an award.
