It has been a tremendous improvement for me since I’ve taken the Drawing Academy course. Here is the recreation follow one of da Vinci’s drawing, however, I sneaked in a bit of my own shading.
Any critique is more than welcome. Thank you very much for having a look at my work…

I have an art degree from a respected University Graphic Design program. I designed professionally for years. Today, I teach high school art.
I was drawn to the Drawing Academy because the drawings and styles they teach were different from my education. I was intrigued by “classical drawing.”
As I have watched the series of videos and participated in the lessons, I’m really glad I made the investment. It has made me a better artist and teacher…

I was inspired by the Victor Koulbak art article.
Here is my latest entry of a Pietro Annigoni painting, “Modella en Posa.” I hope you like it.
Some tips. Lay the ground with many coats so you can scratch off the silverpoint like an eraser without cutting into paper. Use old silver spoons, jewelry, earrings.

Review and artworks from Lindsay Gordon, Drawing Academy graduate
I am a 77-year old male retiree who has been searching for an activity that is creative and fulfilling in my twilight years. My home is in Melbourne, Australia but I am currently staying with my daughter for three months in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
I have been quite creative with my photography over many years but found it a little too easy to produce very good results. After retiring several years ago I took up wood-turning and produced many very nice pieces but had to give it up because it was so messy in a home environment and became quite dangerous when I developed shaking hands as a side effect of medication for a mild heart condition. What both wood-turning and photography showed me is that I do have a bit of a creative streak in me…

This is a still-Life that represents the geometric nature of common objects in perspective. It is an attempt to use cubes, ovals, spheres, and other basic shapes to produce realistic objects in combination and in physical relation to each other. These are arranged on a background drapery that provides additional depth as the object recede into space…
