Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Andrei Doronin
I have living and working in city of Omsk, Russia.
As fine art painter I am working with all genres: a still-life, a portrait, a landscape, genre and conceptual picture. Decoration of an interior of a house, rest residence or office by the form «easel a picturesque picture»
and also for people are forming art collections and art galleries. …
I started a course, at my local college entitled painting and drawing from scratch, in July last year and with the help of my teachers there realised I had an aptitude for painting that had lain dormant for my entire life.I didn’t paint at school and am now 49 almost 50 years old. The course lasted 3 weeks and after it finished I was addicted.
I signed up for another course in portraiture which is charity funded, as I suffer from depression.
Painting and drawing helped draw out of my negativity and had helped me stop using Prozac. …
I am but a lowly art student, not even an undergraduate, working towards a goal which seems attainable yet distant.
When I was much younger, I discovered an attraction to literature, the arts and generally cultural development through visuals and sensations. I was much too young (10, 11) to be reading morbid pieces of literature and analyzing controversial paintings. Though, it helped teach me a lot of morals and social niceties that I failed to recognize at the time, especially considering I have a particular amount of autistic tendencies restraining me to this day. The art has embedded into my vision, and assisted me with my outlook on society as I grew ever older. …
I have had a love for drawing/painting for as long as I can remember and I am mostly self-taught. I think I checked out every art instruction book our local library had at least twice growing up. I couldn’t get into an art course in school until the 8th grade, then I took an art class every semester all through high school. I ended up becoming a graphic designer, essentially because I live in a small rural town and it was the closest thing to art.
Before the internet, I learned from books, kits, and just practicing drawing, painting, sculpting, etc., all of the things I love, which I still do. But now with all of the art resources and courses available online, I feel like a kid in a candy store! …
I was born able to paint and draw, my youngest son calls it the “art gene”. By the time I was 11-12 years old I could sketch out a detailed portrait of anyone in less than 30 min. I could draw and paint anything I wanted.
I gave it up to raise children, and didn’t pick it back up till last year. I am doing better than I thought I would, I’m not satisfied with my work though. I received a head injury via a MVA in 2013 and now unable to work, so I have been trying to retain my eye and learn so new things. …
I graduated from the law college as art studding was not the perfect option in the family to make living from, I always sketching from young age.
After I practice as a lawyer I decided to leave and paint.
I started teaching myself by just practicing by cheap wall paint, similar to acrylic but bad quality that’s all I could afford. Then I find public gallery one day in tourism city where they sell art as souvenirs and gifts for tourists.
I worked so many years, I become faster and better, I created my own designs and sold thousands of painting to a lot of tourists from different countries. …
I began in the 70’s to enjoy art and learn to paint. But I wasn’t polished enough to understand it takes practice and diligence to be good at it. I mistakenly believed it was a talent bestowed on an artist. So I gave it up.
I am now 64yrs old and began my art journey again 2yrs ago.
I began with still life mainly flowers. One day I tried a Redoute painting and became fixated on the Old Masters. Since then I have become interested in portraits and how and why the Old Masters created such beautiful works and without the commercial products we have today. …
I was never good at art but always interested in paintings and artists.
I first started to paint myself when I moved to a place where I knew no one. My job was challenging and for me painting represented something I did for myself and didn’t HAVE to be good at! – just do it and enjoy! Which is why I didn’t go to classes for a long time. …
Hi, as a child 7 years old I made exams in order to enter the artists classes. I was one of the best and I was really talented but unfortunately I have never visited a single class, because we moved out of town. And my parents forgot all about my young passion.
I was really amazed by drawings around during my exam. I want to know how to draw and I want to build a great skill I love it and I would love it more if I was a good in it. That is why I would like to know how to draw and paint, to finally build my skill. …
I’m from a small Russian town. I always had a passion for drawing but my parents prefer music lessons for me. So I’ve lost my way and just an year ago I found it. I felt so much energy inside that I couldn’t express because don’t know how.
I watched youtube art channels attended some drawing classes in my town but I still was afraid of a white piece of paper.
Than I found anatomymasterclass.com membership and that changed everything. I finally started to draw knowing what I draw. That was my first step on my way to portrait painting. …
