So happy to have meet you!
Hello everybody! I have just started the Drawing Academy course, and I am so, so happy!
I’ve started to paint during high school, but only just simple drawings, nothing serious. After a very sad moment in my life, I was starting to look for something to repair the broken part inside of me. After a while, a good friend asked me to help her little boy who is suffering from a very rare disease, and to paint for him, for an auction that she wanted to prepare in Greece, where they actually live. I’ve never putted down the brush since then…

Here’s what Mohamad Magdy says:
“First, I want to thank Drawing Academy teachers for this wonderful course; it is very helpful.
I work as an art director in Dubai. My formal education is in ancient art and civilizations, so to compliment it, I needed to study how to draw casts, it was very important for me.
After enrolling in the Drawing Academy course, I found all the help needed. Drawing video lessons are very good; I’ve learned how to draw and express exactly what I want.
I like that the Drawing Academy teaches how to draw using traditional drawing techniques. I have learned what style the Old Master used, necessary information on drawing materials, principles of constructive drawing, proper tonal rendering techniques, rules of proportions and measurements and so on.
I do recommend the Drawing Academy course to all art students and of all levels. This course is suitable for beginners as well as advanced students.
Also, in the Drawing Academy, you will find all the help and assistance from the academy tutors…

The Colors of Murano – Italy
This painting was inspired from the extraordinary contrasting colors we find the Italian landscape, in this case in the narrow canals of Murano, located just across the lagoon from Venice.
I worked my way first with a solid drawing of the scene, obeying linear perspective (one or two points) and I didn’t start laying paint until I was satisfied with the base drawing.
My focal point is the blue cargo boat in the foreground, but the buildings in the background with the strong color variations and even broken stucco are hard to ignore…

Portrait
Art is my natural healing therapy for which I am so grateful.
Six years ago, I suffered from severe depression when my dear husband suddenly passed away. Without art, I would not be here to tell you my story.
Through the courses of Drawing Academy, Anatomy Master Class and Web Art Academy video lessons, I have become familiar with all the unknown to me before forms of art. Before, I was unaware of their existence and did not know how to present it. Through practice, I gradually built up my confidence and present it with exquisite precision and forms.
I am so pleased with my mentors: Natalie Richy and Vladimir London. With their inspiring efforts, I have found my whole new horizon in the world of art…
