Drawing is my passion since I was a little girl.

I was always tempted to join Old Masters academy to be able to enhance my drawing skills. I am sure you have a very constructed program with the best instructors who can lead me through my journey.

I really would wish to win to be a happy person and to raise a happy family. I want to see the images in my head on canvas and I would wish to make my kids proud.

Lieve lezers/kunstenaars,

Drawing is my passion specialization in painting how-to-draw-paint

Drawing is my passion, but my specialization in painting has been a challenge in my life

Artwork by Ana

Since my childhood, I have felt a deep admiration for Michelangelo’s frescoes, the beauty of his designs can move even the imagination of a four-year-old, and perhaps less so.

Drawing is my passion, but my specialization in painting has been a challenge in my life. Some people think that being an artist is a waste of time or a simple hobby. Or that being a painter, does not have the same merit as a doctor, a lawyer or a high official. To banish these prejudices, it is necessary for the viewer to be captivated by the beauty of an image. And this can only be achieved, in my opinion, by imitating the ideal of the great masters. A Raphael’s Madonna, a Michelangelo’s ignudi, Titian’s landscapes, the mysterious halo of Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Botticelli’s delicate deities, communicate an idea of the grandiose, of the transcendent. …

I crave and wish to paint like the old masters

Artwork by Henry Ikiseh

My name is Henry Ikiseh, a drawing academy student, a visual artist by profession. I engage myself in drawing and painting almost every day. This is the life I have chosen and love every bit of it.

While growing up as a child I was discouraged from studying art by my dad and the society around me but due to the strong passion I have for art I never gave up my dream to become a professional fine artist. I sorted many artists as a child to teach me how to draw and paint, I felt drawing and painting is a quest I needed to fulfill in life. I would buy many comic books and copy drawings from there to make my comics, which I would sell to my friends and comic lovers for a stipend.

Art takes the first position in my life. To take away art from me is to take away my existence. I am so enmeshed in the art that my whole intellect revolves around it. …

I try to learn drawing and painting

Artwork by Feza Ozturk

I am a retired academic in science. Since my childhood, I envied people who can draw and paint to bring out their inner worlds. I had no natural talent at all; so every time I tried to copy somebody else’s drawing, it a was disastrous experience.

In my life today, drawing and painting serves as a refuge from my daily worries. Spacetime goes into a state of suspended animation when I’m submerged in converging the lines and curves into an emotional form on my canvas. …

Relearning of oil painting

Art in all forms is my whole life – everything I do and think about revolves around my of love of art.

My challenges are the relearning of oil painting and overcoming those feelings of inadequacy from not being able to paint proficiently at this point. …

I have returned back to painting …

Artwork by Daria

… I have been doing graphic design for a long time, and in the last year I have returned back to painting. At the moment I really feel an acute lack of knowledge, namely in the technique of “old bridges”. I am very impressed with the videos that I was able to watch on your site! it’s just incredible! Super clear language and a wonderful video series is really what any artist needs now, regardless of his professional level!
