We feel more peace and harmony radiating from a simple pencil drawing. More than from a perfect photo.

I think there must be something…

Visual art is an inseparable and important part in our life.

We humans need and must have beauty around us in order to feel good.

Beauty has tremendous power.

Beauty helps us to become better beings.

Beauty helps this world to become a better place to live.

Do You Love To Draw?

We can create stunning pictures, yet we often prefer something hand-made.

Handmade stuff is often inaccurate in its shape or maybe resemblance.

So why do we feel so good to stare at something that is handmade for seemingly no reason?

When you make your own artwork, it has instantly your personal imprint in it.

Your real you shows up in it.

Hand-made drawings or paintings have a spirit. They become alive and actually speak to us.

Yes, I know, it sounds bizarre but this is what we all feel. More and more people are looking for alternative ways to replace photos wherever they can.

Maybe it’s just you who want to make a simple illustration, to draw or sketch into your journal.

You can learn how to draw anything

If you are a beginner you may want to start from flowers or any other non-animal (or human)-related object.

That allows you to leave slight mistakes unnoticed….and… it gives your picture an artistic expression.

Before you start to sketch or draw anything, please visit the warm up section.
