Why would I like to win a chance to study at the Watercolor Academy? One thing I have learned over a lifetime is that you never stop expanding your mind, improving your skills, and with your abilities pushing the bar higher.
Watercolor artwork and story by Ian Carter
I like the whole idea of the Watercolor Academy as a learning process. I learn from many artists. Watercolour is my prime medium. I love that it can create some remarkable explorations on my watercolour paper. Acknowledgement that I have talent yet need to learn more to develop and explore.
Story and artwork from Julienne Richer
I live in Canada, in the province of Quebec. Since the beginning of my retreat, I have been learning to draw (graphite pencil and black marker). To try to add life to my drawing, here is my first experience with painting. I used a watercolor and inexpensive paper, but as I experiment, I will acquire better quality tools. So this is a first step in my learning process.
I came across the Watercolor Academy course and watch a previous video. And I rely on I can improve a lot from this.

I'm 67 and at the end of my life I still want to learn
It's been 58 years and I've never taken a technical course. It's still time.
Hi, I'm Ed. I used to paint and draw as a kid, but then my life took its turn and I'm working as a manager now. Painting to me is the way to tell what I feel and share my thoughts. When I make watercolor sketches, all my worries go away as if I'm living in another reality. This is the way for me to escape all troubles and negative thoughts.
Story and artwork from Audrey Katherine
Watercolor Academy is the right place for me to learn, because they are referring to old masters and theories that I didn't get from my university study. I also love the idea of learning watercolor online so I could get the education I need anytime and anywhere since going to a watercolor academy or atelier overseas could cost so much. I also love how watercolor academy tutors are truly professional artists. I would love to have their insights and approach in watercolor.
Story and artwork from Lobo ben Levi

Watercolor Academy is an excellent idea for studying watercolour as a complete painting course providing a thorough grounding in this compelling medium. I would feel so happy to win as I know it would give me the opportunity to share what I learn with my own students.
Watercolor artwork by Praharshita
There is a common phrase in the academic world: "Writing is thinking". I find that "Painting is seeing". Without acknowledging the elements of reality in their abstract forms, it is harder to recognise a phenomena and then study it.
Watercolor artwork and story by Johanne Caron
My goal for 2022 is to focus on developing detail and depth in my water colour paintings and winning the Watercolor Academy will help me get there.

Story and artwork from Olga A.
Learning more about Watercolor techniques and the use of Colors is what I am currently focused on and this is how I came across the Watercolor Academy Course and watched some of their videos on youtube. I was impressed with how professional and clear their explanations are. So when I saw the opportunity to study in a Watercolor course, it definitely caught my attention. I believe that this course will likely be very beneficial for improving my skills and knowledge.

Watercolor artworks and story from Paul Landgraf
I've wanted to work in watercolor for quite some time. I've dabbled "for lack of better word".
Watercolor artwork and story by Susan
I left school and stopped drawing in pursuit of a paying career, but after health issues left my career plans in ruins I began to draw again. And as a result, I decided I would attempt to make a career of it. I don't believe my skills are on a professional level quite yet, But with the help of courses like Watercolor Academy, I believe I can make it, and achieve a career I am proud and passionate about.
Winning the Watercolor Academy course would be a great opportunity to become a professional artist, who can draw realistically and inspiring others with my story. Yet i still have a lot to develop, and that's what I'm willing to do.

Story and artwork from Farzaneh
It would be a pleasure to be connected with art professionals through Watercolor Academy.
Story and artwork from Virginia Pennell
The watercolor world had enriched my life beyond my wildest dreams. It has made me a more interesting person and one who "sees" our world through a different light. I see the colors of life! I have grown personally and outwardly. Painting has brought me joy, friends I would have never met and a growth beyond painting.
Story and artwork from Michael-Anthony Rene Chavez
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.
After one year of free self-taught tutorials, I'm aware that I need a serious course and a tutor to guide me if I want a professional level. The Watercolor Academy is the solution that I'm looking for.
Watercolor artwork and story by Jayati Sengupta
I came across Watercolor Academy and realised that courses like these would suit me, as I can incorporate it into my own busy schedule according to my time availability.
Watercolor artwork and story by Ali Hisham
I'm a painter in oil and drawing portraits in the classical way. I was very interested in drawing and painting since I was 5 years old and always was searching for information about art techniques
Story and artwork from Selearah Starre
I would be privileged to study with Watercolor Academy. I always wanted to learn classical art theory and techniques and your academy teaches what I want to learn. I have worked hard this last year to improve my health and believe it is now time for me to devote myself to my art. I always wanted to take my art seriously, now is my time even though I am a mature aged retired student.
Story and artwork from Patrick O'Connell
I have come to believe that if you say I know it all you know nothing so if I say I know nothing I will never stop learning. I know what and how I want a painting to look but it never reaches my expectations. My challenges in art is to learn the skills to produce what I want, when I want and believe this will take the rest of my life. Another challenge is to never give up the dream of producing art that will move people for generations to come. To never think I don't have a long way to go.
Story and artwork from Hannah Grace
I came across theWatercolor Academy Course and watched preview videos; they are very good to learn from. This course includes all the resources I'm looking for in one place that will help me in improving my watercolor skills.
Story and artwork from Vandita Bansal
I want to win the Watercolour Academy course so that I can become a very good watercolour artist. I feel the academy can help me to get to the next step.
Story and artwork from Antonio
Winning the Watercolor Academy course would allow me to learn properly the technique that I find so hard to control right now, and also to learn to mix colors properly to achieve the color I want, which seems extremely hard to me right now.
Watercolor artwork and story by Johanne
What started as a hobby has now turned into a passion to create beauty through art! What inspires me are people, their stories, their passions, and how I can tell stories through my art! Painting is very meditative and friends and family know how important painting has been to me in terms of my mental health.
Watercolor artworks and story from Aya
I really want to become a watercolor master, that's why I want to win. I want a challenge and I want to learn educated methods for tackling art projects.
I love to dabble & doddle, sketch in watercolour and other medium as well. I work more on portraits, figurative & would like to take my work to the next level.
Watercolor artwork by Claudia Weslowski
Watercolor artwork by Claudia Weslowski. I have been practicing drawing and watercolor for two years. I recently enrolled in the Life Drawing Academy to improve my drawing skills. I want to learn drawing to be able to implement my creative ideas.
Hi, my name is Anya Mishalova. I am a self-taught artist who is trying with all his might to make art his main profession and seizes on any opportunities with which I can improve the quality of my painting and drawing. I am fanatical about art and try to bring my skills closer to those artists who were lucky enough to get a professional education.
I think Watercolor Academy's online video courses are an excellent option. I stumbled upon Watercolor Academy on the Internet by chance, fell in love with it and immediately knew it was a great platform. I see myself as a rising artist, I think that if I win, I will complete my deficiencies with the education I will receive and become a professional watercolor artist in all aspects.
My style is somewhat loose and what I want to develop in my work is to be more detailed, and have a better focus on composition. As well, I gravitate toward florals and really want to expand my repertoire into portraiture, landscapes, street scenes, nature, etc. I love the Drawing Academy and was a recipient of the course competition in February, 2020 just as the pandemic hit and it has helped me immensely technically and now I am hoping the same for the Watercolor Academy!
I would love to learn how to make watercolours
I quite like the idea that the Watercolor Academy is giving away a free course. It would be absolutely incredible if I could win because I've never been apart of a course on something I've always had a passion for, not to mention I could say that I've been to an actual art academy (yay for bragging!) But it would actually mean the whole world to me if I actually won. I know that it is very unlikely and I have more chance of getting struck by lightning twice, but a girl can dream. I really hope I do win so I have a bit of a chance of being good at at a medium that isn't pencils.
I have two art memberships - Drawing Academy and Anatomy Master Class, which I'm very happy with. These art courses are very professional. I therefore really want to access the watercolor course, I will definitely buy it sometime. I hope that those people who are interested in realistic art will notice my image and vote for it.
Painting has always existed in my life. As a child I was very introverted and my friends were pencils and a bunch of papers. I would love to learn how to use watercolors to be able to paint the incredible landscapes of the Engadine.
I always wanted to take an art class or any drawing course but was not able to take one but I always kept practicing on my own. I spend a lot of time everyday watching and learning online drawing tutorials on YouTube, reading blogs post and many other things that would help me improve my drawing yet I still have a lot to learn and develop.
I want to be an artist, so I have to learn till the end of my life. People say that aquarelle is an easy medium but I think it is tricky. It would be great to learn all the tips, tricks and techniques to create beautiful paintings.
Story and artwork from Pradeep. I instantly fell in love with the watercolor medium. Watercolor painting has certain magic to it that I could never really feel in other types of painting. While it's not easy to control, nor easy to get the outcome that I desired, the complexity of this medium actually inspired me to practice and learn as much as I can.
Hi, I'm Lidija and I use watercolors a little bit different than usual, but that was my limitation of knowing the medium. I just didn't really know it in depth. I want to learn the new skill so I would like to participate in this competition.
Hi, I'm Ed. I used to paint and draw as a kid, but then my life took its turn and I'm working as a manager now. Painting to me is the way to tell what I feel and share my thoughts.
