Artist Demo with Pastels by William Araujo

William Araujo received his Fine Arts Associate Degree in 2014 emphasizing his educational focus on Film Photography and Drawing. His lifelong goal was always to become a painter and found photography, drawing in colored pencils and painting with pastels to be a good segue into exploring acrylic and oil painting. The human figure is his most highly regarded interest and his observation of the human's ability of communication and expression his keenest observation. William enjoys portraiture in all media and is in constant pursuit of capturing the many nuances we possess and share. He has become an instructor in the arts as a way of sharing and passing down the knowledge he has obtained from many 'outstanding' professors and instructors whom he credits for his growth as an artist.
