The Art of Michael-Anthony

Story and artwork from Michael-Anthony Rene Chavez

My name is Michael-Anthony Rene Chavez. I am a self taught artist through the aide of books and online courses. In the midst of working full time, I still manage to split time with my wife, my two sons and my artwork. Art plays an important role in my life through various mediums (primarily graphite and colored pencil) as a great means of expression. I am a supervisor at a before and after school program and really enjoy encouraging/ sharing/ instructing children (especially my own) to have a love for art as well.

As I continue to pursue my artwork following the directs of an academic /constructive approach I continue to challenge myself to grow through anatomy, color study, and learning from the old masters. I am pursuing realistic portraiture/ figure drawing and have learned quite a bit from Vladmir London's Anatomy Master Class which peaked my interest when I saw he was releasing a Watercolor Academy course. I originally started with watercolors but stopped in order to better my understanding of drawing and color. I see this course as a great opportunity to return to this medium.

I am kindly asking for your vote to help me win this course for free. I unfortunately cannot afford this class in lieu of other current expenses so your vote is very much appreciated. I believe Vladmir's approach/ standard to fine art will help further my artistic journey with some of the best instruction the internet has to offer.

Thank you,
Michael-Anthony Rene Chavez
