Trained in ateliers for 4 years. Learned sight size. Enjoyed the visual accuracy training. Learning on line now with illustrator group. Learning speed less accuracy. Want to learn speed AND accuracy !
When young I was a very good drawer and painted in oils but never understood or was taught any techniques.
I would always copy works of art never able to create on my own. Lover of history and art, over the year I’ve lost a lot of my talent and am considering try this again one last time !
As many of us, I was fascinated with drawing and painting since I was a child. Life did not allow me to get involved in art until later in my life.
A tragic event helped me to realize that some things should not be postponed, I started painting.
At the beginning, I was feeling like a person not able to speak. I wanted to say something, but was not able to do it. Slowly, my skills developed allowing me to say more. I feel that I need to walk several more steps to develop my art to the level I need to start talking. …
Retire, used to be a photographer. Self taught to this stage.
I have done quite a few still life but really want to put people in my
painting. I love still life but want to do portraits as well as people
as we see them in life and to convey that to the observer.
I love to paint and paint all of the time. I try to work very hard but
seem to be at a stand still right now as how to make my paintings
better. …
I am a pediatric dentist with passion for art, started drawing and painting as relax experiment when my husband was diagnosed with cancer.
I noticed that I was good, I love people and my portraiture was getting attention, without asking I got some commissions. I am getting better, a bit more satisfied with what I am making. Have more time to study since I retired to take care of husband and visit grandchildren.
I want to add various types of technics in one unit.
I think the “contemporary old masters” are Paul Klee and Picaso because they have created their own signature style.
My favourite artists are John Sargent, John Fernandez, Michelangelo and Leonardo.
My path in art is relatively new. I’ve started painting about three years ago. I had no skills, I’ve never took art lessons before. It was very fascinating seeing the reflections of light in paintings and the effects it creates as well as blending of coulours.
If you ask me what I want to learn, I will tell I want to learn the whole path of art, no matter what style. Every style has something fascinating. …
When I was 16, during my last of high school, I had an amazing art teacher who really opened my eyes to the fact that yes I could draw. He was such a great teacher that I aced the class no problem, but most importantly it awoke my passion for art. Unfortunately as he was only a substitute, he left once the regular boring passionless teacher came back.
I kept drawing though, especially portraits. Unfortunately my parents wouldn’t allow me to go to art school, and I was made to go through business school for which I never had any inkling.
Fast forward. I ended up leaving my country of origin and emigrated elsewhere where I could study. I ended up studying and teaching English and French Literature. So you see I was on the track to art, I was writing and teaching people how to write, why we write, why we need poetry and novels. …
For many years painting was only my desire. I was unable to learn, practice due to career and family. A year ago I had the possibility to start my adventurous trip in the painting. I began to study, I completed an online course and I took classes from a private teacher for a few months as well. My first big success: two of my pictures were set in a Budapest exhibition,
I think the “contemporary old master” is Harry Anderson, His creations are full of life, beautiful lighting effects in his works. Authentic portrayal, full of emotion. …
