Old but New
Artwork by Claudia Johnson
At 50, I received a precious gift of 6 art sessions. I had always been passionate about art, but I had never had an art class, even in school. Since then, I have given several hours a day to learning more about drawing and painting on the Internet. Being a missionary and a teacher, I spend my days living in Thailand and teaching refugees from Pakistan who have no opportunity to attend school. These students love to learn, and they share my enthusiasm about art. We use art in our classroom to enhance our learning. Winning the Drawing Academy course will allow me to learn in a systematic way and will allow me to pass on proper training to my students. Though I’m old, I’m new to drawing. Please vote for me. It’s obvious that I need a lot of help!
Love the painting…it is soft and quiet
Claudia is a talented artist as well as being a gifted teacher! She enjoys learning anything new, but her first love is definitely art. She is always eager to share what she has learned which means that her art lessons would benefit not only her, but others as well. I know of no one more deserving of receiving this instruction.
Great pictures. You are so talented!
How amazing it would be for Claudia to be able to use what she learns in this course to teach others who would never have dreamed about or had the opportunity to learn about art. Everyone should vote for Claudia!
This is amazing. LOVE IT!!!
Amazing…in my point of view anyway. Your a really good artist!!!! Keep up the good work!
Beautiful!

Calm and peace .. very nice ..
what a beautiful piece of art! I hope you are able to win these lessons so you can pass along your passion and knowledge to your students.
I believe that Claudia is very gifted in the arts and does an excellent job in expressing her love for drawing and painting. I’ve seen a number of her drawings, and I would love to have one of them hanging on my wall!! I know she has a lot more to give to her students as she learns more about the arts.
Nice soft tones
Great picture. I have seen some of your art work and you are amazing!
Not only is Claudia a gifted artist, but she is such a wonderful teacher. The fact that she wants to become a better artist so she can use art to inspire Pakistani refugees is inspiring. You couldn’t award these lessons to a more beautiful and giving person.
This is so good! Claudia is one of the kindest people I know and has such an amazing passion for drawing and painting and her students. So cool that you’re pursuing this form of art. Keep it up!
I hope you can win Claudia! You are an awesome teacher.

I love Claudia’s work! This portrait has beautiful muted pastel tones and demonstrates her ability to capture attitude and a strong sense of character. The tight framing fosters an intimacy with the subject and proves Claudia to be a sensitive storyteller as well as a gifted painter. I look forward to seeing more!
Great work
Talented and with the potential to impact so many lives. The world needs more beauty, more art! Hope Claudia wins. More than deserving of your time and attention.
Awesome! Great work
I wish I could draw like that. About all I can do is draw crude cartoons! Oh… and Claudia, you are NOT old.
I’m glad you found art and hope that you will keep on learning.
Wow. I want one!
Gorgeous! Rooting for you!!!
It is safe to say that I have been following your work since my teenage years. Beautiful!
Painting is a colorful hobby where painter express his/her emotions on canvas :)
