how-to-draw-hobby in drawing and sketching

I am a boy with a hobby in drawing and sketching

Artwork by Mitchell

My name is Mitchell. I am a 20-year-old Australian boy with a hobby in drawing and sketching. Mundane as this description sounds, I like to keep things simple ( it’s what Leonardo solicits after all; “Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication”).

However, I should amend drawing and sketching isn’t an entirely appropriate way of describing the hobby. I am more in the habit of trying to cultivate skills to clearly express the unique ideas that cross my mind almost daily. …

how-to-paint-I want to learn to paint like the old masters

I make sure to draw or paint daily to constantly keep improving my skills

Artwork by Nella Schirinzi

I’m a self taught artist with some higher education in Fine Art. I’m Italian & English and currently based in the UK. I work full time in Admin and spend most evenings painting.

Art has and has always had a large place in my life. From visiting museums and spending time trying to recreate old master paintings, I study and read about various art movements. I also find the history and narrative behind old painting very interesting as they add to the piece’s intrigue. I make sure to draw or paint daily to constantly keep improving my skills. …

… I’d love to be able to create pieces of Art to honour the Renaissance Masters and keep this style of Art alive.

At the age of 63 now I still want to learn

Artwork by James E Amidon

As early as I can remember, I wanted to make Art my life. Since the age of 5 years, I have been striving and pushing myself to be the best I could be. Drawing almost every day in my adolecent years up through high school, I spent hours on copying out of magazines and photos to achieve that most realistic level.

In High School there was no Art teacher so again I would take every opportunity after school to hide in my drawing, developing my shading and composition skills. …

Pursuing art and never stop

Paintings by Yue Wang

I like doing art when I was young, I don’t remember for what reason I would like to join in an art class to learn professional art skills, but I do remember that I really admired my classmates who can drawing a 3D geometric shape with whole rendering. That was so cool to me at that time, so I told my parents I want to take an art class to learn drawing, then learning art has never stopped.

I like realistic artworks, like the old master’s painting. Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Vermeer and so on. My artistic challenges are mixing color and rendring method, like mixing a skin color that looks transpenrant and smoothly transfer to another color. Recent years, I’m learning the classical oil painting techniques, but I coulden’t find any comprehensive, detailed and understandable oil painting technique course. I bought the book, but it is hard to understand for some parts. Until I found several videos of OLD MASTER ACADEMY, which talk about the old master’s painting techniques and what oil paint they used, that really helpful to me as a self-learner.
I realize this is what I’m looking for. …

I want to paint the same way that the old masters did

Artwork by Govind R M

Hey there, I am Govind and am from India. Up until now I have been a self taught artist.
I see and I try to draw or paint whatever I see. But most of my completed works are either not up to my expectations or are simply incomplete.

My favorite artist happens to be Renaissance painter Michelangelo. Such paintings are great source of inspiration to me. Being inspired is one thing, but not able to have great results is another. …
