Most of my free time in the day is spent by doing some sort of art. Being creative has always been one of my favourite past times. As far as I know I have creative relatives from my mom and my dad's sides, so it is in my blood, left, right and centre! Ever since primary school I have been doodling when ever I got the chance. It was in high school when I started drawing more seriously. My aunt is also very creative and she went for an art drawing course. She mailed us some photo's of the work she had done, and I absolutely loved her work. The pictures she drew also grabbed my attention and I decided to try and draw it myself. And so I did. I took an old desktop calendar and on the back of it and my normal HB I started drawing what I saw from the photo she sent us. 1 Year ago (2008) I started teaching computer skills at a local college. There the graphics students have an art subject. When I studied for graphics we did not have art as a subject they just assumed we could draw. So it got me thinking, I can draw, but I have no art knowledge, I have never had a class or lesson of art in my life. Everything I know is my own knowledge. I was not satisfied, and wanted to know more. I joined an art class at a local gallery in my neighbourhood. It was great fun! So most of my first pencil sketches that I have here are sketches that I have done for the art class. I first did a course of pencil drawing and I am currently busy with watercolours. And at work I use photoshop for most of the day. Art to me is like an expression of emotion. I love drawing, and love is such an wonderful expression, isn't it?! I can do commissions as well, so let me know if you are interested. You can go and read more about my commissions here.
Enjoy your stay! |
