I Am An Artist

When I was 12 a great Aunt was drawing angels on a scroll. I watch and she taught me so much.as I got older I continue to draw then paint.in my 30s I had the chance to paint with Bob Ross that did it . I could not paint enough. I've...

I feel like an old dam on a lake.

The lake water represents the creative force that dwells within me and all around me. My body is the dam that is holding that back. It's like my body is a gateway or a portal or a door for the creative...

Ever since I found out the magics of drawing/sketching. I've been trying to draw the actors off movie boxes or sketching people I know and love. Now These days I'm drawing a lot of Sonic the hedgehog, I've made at least two drawn...

And done some art therapy volunteering.

So I'd call myself an artist.

But I'm not that good to be honest. Not as good as most of you guys!

I'm an artist, but all my art is "depressing" and "grim" and apparently brings people down. There is a thing called the MONA museum in my town; half of it has beautiful Egyptian artifacts and gorgeous paintings, the other half is dark...

I started drawing at age 6 and never stopped. There was a lot of opposition to it from my mother and family. When I asked for drawing lessons at age 7 she screamed at me and said "you can't be an artist. We are poor. You need to learn...

Hey art fans! Apparantly you like these sequences cuz they get a lot of views and some rec's so here's another one. :)
I started this soft pastel portrait of a Miniature Schnauzer yesterday afternoon and I did a bit...

On my canvas there are no rules, I don't have teachers or people bossing down rules no regulations too tell you whats up nor whats down I will paint what I have found.

In a magazine I was reading in the early hours I came across a...

Hey Art fans! :)
I'm back with another step-by-step demonstration of my work. This time I used my day off EP to start work on a portrait of a horse.
I have been inspired by the work of one of my friends, and though this is nothing like...

To Some People Right Off The Back You Think I'm White Because My Username Is Whiterose.
I Picked Whiterose Instead Of Blackrose Because A White Rose Means Purity,Serenity,Life While A Black Rose Represents Death,Hatred,Darkness.But Now...

I went to my first year at art school, never painting or truly enjoying painting. After my first semester in textiles the most interesting thing I'd done in that class was the first assignment, painting on fabric. I was so fed up with...

Since I've been doing graphic design work for the last three or four years and working much more with computers than with pencil and paper, I wonder sometimes if I'm really what you'd call an artist anymore. Generally speaking, I design...

I'm looking for some awesome new techniques for paintings that really pop :) please share!

If you know about my stories about that girl plagiarizing me, do you think I should continue posting work publicly? I have a public FB page for my art that has close to 300 people on it and a wordpress. If I made profiles other paces I...

I love drawing. I actually won this flag contest in high school. I don't know if it's still the new school flag, but it was pretty sweet looking.

I love to paint, especially with my airbrushes. I just wish I was better at it. I've tried nearly every medium in art and I've always found them frustrating. With the airbrush I still get results very different from my intention but...

Today, I looked up the cost of going into an art program here, at my college. I don't care because I can just make payments. My problem is, that I need to take English 12 ( I honestly don't know why, but that's what it says for a...

That is my artistic talent as well as reading tarot and tea cups

I sold another painting this weekend. It was the first painting in acrylic that I've done in several years, as i normally don't use acrylic at all. I only use pastels normally, and occasionally I draw in graphite pencil or charcoal...

I got an email today from a CEO of a camera company who wants to buy a painting from me. I'm really excited! I have more paintings to finish also for other people. I feel like the work is piling up but I think I can do it!
