Art Online Tutorials of Jose Manuel Gallego

We are all born artists. As soon as we have enough strength to hold a pencil, we start to draw and paint on the walls, furniture and floor of our houses.   Normally, this behavior derives in the screams of our parents and later we learn that it is better to express our creativity on a sheet of paper. Up there, everything normal. The problem arises when the adults who educate us (parents, teachers, etc.) want to make us understand how to draw or paint: -You DO NOT LEAVE THE LINES -NOT MIXES COLORS WITHOUT ANY ORDER -NOT BE GARABATEA - THIS IS DRAWN LIKE THIS, OR SO ... Then at school the thing gets worse. There are exams, level tests. They force us to draw in such and such a way ... all this, with the best of intentions, of course. and in fact, many teachers try by all means to encourage the creativity of their students.

My name is Jose Manuel Gallego Garcia, I am a painter, draftsman and art teacher for more than 30 years.   Since more than 10 years ago, my body became ill, I had to leave the classroom teaching of drawing and painting.   Teaching people to express their art and creativity has always been my passion. After several ups and downs, I risked uploading a tutorial to YouTube, on my channel in Spanish (and at that time, my only channel): "Arte Vivo y Divertido" . And it was very well received, so much so that today, it has 175,000 subscribers and 3 million minutes of reproduction every 4 weeks (and increasing).   Some time after this I decided to create a parallel channel for people who do not speak Spanish but want to learn to paint and draw. and so "Art Online Tutorials" was born.   Today, I start this blog where I intend to expand, whenever I can, the information contained in my videos.   I hope you like the idea and it will be useful! See you here!

Today I start a new blog. I want this to be a meeting point for all those who want more information about my tutorials, my works of art, etc. and myself. I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
