About | Ran Art Blog
Hi, my name is Ran (b. 1972).
As a realist painter and art instructor, I teach the fundamentals of drawing and painting, believing that a strong foundation is key to progress in any style or technique.
Alongside teaching, I accept private commissions in diverse mediums and styles.
Commission portrait drawings
Graphite pencil drawings
Pen drawings
Marker drawings
Perspective drawings
Map drawings
Texture drawings
Colored pencils
Mixed media
Oil paintings
My artistic journey began in childhood with comic books and superheroes. Over the years, I shifted toward figurative pencil work and, later, realistic oil painting.
My background also includes years in computer graphics, spanning 2D and 3D artwork alongside web development.
I view painting as a discipline that combines creativity, knowledge, and experience.
In my view, science also plays a pivotal role in an artist's development; thus, I continuously explore fields like physics, optics, geometry, perspective, and climate.
Ultimately, it is the blend of constant practice, dedication, and curiosity that drives genuine progress.

Special thanks to the exhibition curator for his professional guidance and to the gallery for hosting us.

The Blog
At the core of this site is the blog, featuring drawing and painting tutorials, equipment reviews, and galleries of inspiring artists. New content is added frequently.
Personal Note
Every article or drawing is special to its creator, but certain works remain particularly meaningful.
My personal favorite is the guide on how to draw the illusion of depth. Developing it required a significant investment of time in both writing and drawing, and I continue to update it over time.
