Regional Pick – Dancers Collection
I love the expression of inner joy that one sees on the faces of dancers when they are performing what they love. To capture those precious moments, I decided to paint a series called the ‘Dancers Collection’.
I am a self taught artist who paints as a hobby and haven’t sold anything yet. I have joined the Drawing Academy and the Web Art Academy to learn techniques from the masters and I must say I am very glad that I did as I am learning new things every day.

I have been drawing and oil painting for 20 years with no real direction. I also have worked a job where I traveled so no time to do my art.
Now we are retired and my husband got me the Drawing Academy and Web Art Academy art courses.
I have improved so much, but am still learning please let me know what needs to be done on my brothers painting. Thank you so much for these classes. …

Feedback from Lorna Beecroft
I am a very late arrival to painting, having started just prior to Christmas in 2015 at the ripe age of 62.
A dear friend and fabulous artist whom I have always admired said to me, “all it takes is practice.” I thought that could not possible be true, but as I had loved drawing when I was very young, I thought I would give it a go.
Well, it turns out that I can paint, and that hours of daily practice have improved by skill vastly from a year ago. …

Artworks from Simona Tiron, Web Art Academy student
Before Academy course I didn’t have courage to paint people, only some silhouettes in the distance. Even I didn’t have time to involve more profoundly into the video lessons, I did only few, I dared to do things I always wanted to do. I saw my errors and I didn’t know how to correct them.
I needed the guidance of Academy tutors, to tell me what kind of mistakes I had in my painting. …

Feedback from Sharon Lorraine Barley
I am a pastor, poet, and writer. Early in my life I attended art school and never learned how to paint, just learned to throw paint on surfaces to create what we felt! My inner passion was to a more disciplined approach and learn the techniques of the masters. I graduated to become a graphic artist, like many of my peers. Slowly, the death of art in my soul, my passion for art waned as I sold images for purposes that conflicted with my values. I want to return to learning and study art as it was meant to be studied. …

Feedback from Senja
I’m a middle-aged woman from Finland. In my young age I learned a bit of drawing and painting. Then it was left and I had to work.
Since then I always knew that when I’m old enough, something more than 50 years, I’ll continue painting again.
I had to live first, to acquire life experience, pass the time of uncertainty, and then when you have settled down, it would be an appropriate time to start a life with true love – the art of painting.
I am a very sensitive and creative person. I have a great need to do something creative that I can focus on. When I concentrate on painting or other creative activities, everything else disappears and I feel the flow. …

Feedback from Eima
I’m just a child. Inspired by how art can be like magic. Art tells a story, a message that cannot be simply put with words. Art connects people in a way. Reaching their hearts, conveying a meaningful message.
If I can create that magic that is called art, tell a story with a drawing that reaches one’s heart in a single glance. I’d want to express myself and let everyone see how I look at this world. I want to let everyone see the series of imagination that I’ve build up in my brain. …

I am a professional (traditional) cook, born 1961 and raised in Belgium, now living in a rural part of Hungary and unemployed. Some people in my family painted oils and watercolors, so I guess that influenced me as a boy. My parents gave me the choice what to study, art school or hotel school. Wish I could have chosen both…:)
I’ve tried out airbrush when I was in my twenties, but my affection is always drawn to the masterpieces of the Renaissance as well as the surrealist Dali’s work. It seemed difficult to find good video lessons on the internet on these techniques until today 🙂 …

Feedback from Jeanett Flynn
Since retiring I have had two main focuses in my life – my family (especially my six wonderful grand children, plus a new little one on the way), and art.
Over the past few years my artistic tool of choice has been my camera. I have spent much time learning all I can to become a better photographer. I really love it, but I have also felt like something is seriously missing. There has been a piece of the creative puzzle of my soul that has been missing and makes me feel not quite whole. I yearn to fill that missing piece in. I yearn to feel whole again. The creative spirit in me is calling. It is saying “don’t give up”. I need to pursue art in a way beyond photography. …
