At the age of 53 I’ve got my first easel and finally started to paint and draw

At the age of 53 I’ve got my first easel and finally started to paint and draw

Oil Paintings by Anna Shapiro

I am Anna from USA (originally from Moscow, Russia)

I always wanted to be able to draw and paint , and now at the age of 53 I got my first easel and finally started.

Art has always been a big part of my life, back in Moscow I would stand in line for hours to see the paintings from museums I thought I would never be able to visit. Now I am lucky to be able to visit art museums all over the world. I attend every exhibition and every art event in my home town.

Seeing works of art , especially old masters brings me joy. I really want to be able to copy some of my favorite paintings and paint the beauty of nature I see every single day.

I realize I am far from my goal but even mixing paints and little steps I take put a smile on my face.

Web Art Academy is very helpful and easy to follow, I really appreciate all the information you put there, thank you!

I never entered any contest and quite shy about showing my work.

Winning Old Masters Academy would mean a world to me, will encourage and inspire me to learn.
Thank you!
