I'm an emerging artist who is self taught and always interested in learning more.
I live in Australia and am lucky to be surrounded by nature and many beautiful things that inspire me. Beauty is something I try to find in all things and people and is a word I often used in my descriptions.
I started drawing four years ago. One day I found an old sketchbook. Only a few pages had been used so I grabbed a pencil and gave sketching a try. I still have this sketchbook today and the first few drawings were absolutely awful ... but it was a start.
I knew I needed to learn to improve so I took to You Tube tutorials, read books on art and kept on drawing and trying new things. After a year or two later, a friend suggested I post some of my drawings on Pinterest so I did. Before long I had made connections and learned more from participating in art challenges such as Meds100Heads. I also decided to give watercolour and charcoal a try and recently have started to use digital art.
Next on my list is to share my art more broadly and seek feedback on how I can improve or be given challenges from other artists. Everything I looked into said "start a website " and "put your stuff on the socials." so here I am !
I hope you get some enjoyment from my art and find something you find as beautiful amongst the variety. Please contact me if you have feedback, have a suggestion or to make a request.
Simon.
