Every day I am trying to get better in art! …
Sono una signora di 61 anni, da molto tempo disegno e dipingo ad olio e acquerello ma una tecnica vera e propria non la ho, sono un autodidatta e mi rendo conto che ho molte lacune , anzi troppe e desidero migliorare anche se penso che avrei dovuto decidermi molto tempo fa ad iscrivermi a dei corsi come drawing academy, sto studiando anche la lingua Inglese per poter comprendere di più, in passato ho studiato su libri, ma è molto duro capire e d eseguire senza poter vedere dal vivo l’esecuzione della prospettiva lineare e ancor di più aerea e del colore, le proporzioni.

This is a architectural drawing of the Red Square done freehand using Rotring isograph pen only.
I am trying to improve my observational skills and penmanship. I have always been interested in art and drawing and decided to enroll in order to improve my skills but also be able to work at my own pace…

Hello, I wanted to submit this drawing I did for critique. It took me a little over 9 hours to complete from the basic measurements and basic shape construction of the body to the final rendering. I feel I am making improvement in my art. I especially feel I am better understanding the female anatomy. I think for many artists, drawing females is harder especially because pretty much all art books and anatomy books use the male physique as a reference. Those references that do use the female anatomy, use it very vaguely…
Artwork by Helen B. Wilson, Drawing Academy student This was one of the first acrylic paintings done in 1996 with the help of my teacher guiding me through each step. After watching Drawing Academy videos I will definitely need assistance in setting up my own composition – I have a lot to learn!
