Tranquility
I enrolled in the Drawing Academy to improve my art skills. Growing up in the Caribbean I did not have the opportunity of getting any art education. However, I always was inclined to draw. I had been browsing the web looking for a class to assist me in improving my skills/knowledge when I cam across the Drawing Academy.

Story and drawing from Helga Parker
I started painting in oil 6 years ago, but for many years have been interested in fine art.

I had a great Professor in my undergraduate education in his Humanity course and Literature. He taught me to see works of art in a new way and not just looking at a painting…

Oil Painting by Dan S., Drawing Academy graduate

Feedback from a Drawing Academy graduate
Hi,

Portrait in Winter
I’ve been working to develop my portrait skills to depict realism in both deep shadow and full frontal lighting. Capturing the physical depth and three dimensions in full lighting is not easy and requires the ability to “turn the form” very subtly as it turns away from the primary light source into “dark light” and finally into shadow…
