Sparkling Santiago

First of all, thank you so much for your inspiring sharing through your free-video lessons and tutorials!! They are absolutely EXCELLENT! and have given me fantastic and clear tips and hints which have enriched my self-instruction tremendously. I can’t imagine how much more one could profit from a complete course and feedback…

I live in PATAGONIA-ARGENTINA, and have just retired (and with the minimum amount). I have drawn and painted off and on throughout the years, during the in-between of a mother’s hectic life. Being a school teacher has never being very rewarding financially, so part of my artistic adventure has been indulging in improvised alchemy discovering economical painting mixes with everyday materials from the house, construction, or collecting beads and fruits for tints or using even coal direct from the fire pit…

But now, having all the time for myself (including husband, orchard, greenhouse, making music, biking, and life in nature) at this “rounding-up” stage, I feel the absolutely compelling need to convey in my painting the “aroma” of my soul’s deepest perception from the lessons through life. And that is quite a major task and challenge! Being a self-made artist, with bits and pieces pinned in my know-how has turned out to be incomplete and somewhat frustrating.

Now is my time, and I want to go for it to the highest quality. You offer in your promotion to take us to the level of being able to precisely draw and paint whatever we decide to and as real Fine Art.

Allow me to participate in this Art Competition and give it a try to the fullest! My artwork is the life portrait of my youngest son performed in 45 minutes using tempera, chalk, plaster, iron dust for floors, glycerine, glue, and wax with soap as varnish… (No comments)

THANK YOU AGAIN, AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

    Your painting is amazing Caroline! I think you are a great artist, being able to create a master piece from basic-everyday elements that can turn out into art tools. Keep on being the artist you are in many aspects of your personality! You are the best teacher of English too =)

    Wow!!! Amazing! In times where most “art” is done on the computer, this hand painted portrait prooves real talent!
