Old Masters Academy review by Malinda Foster

I am now into the 28th lesson of the Old Masters Academy course. I am diligently following all of the instructions for the charts and the practice portrait.

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am with this course. And how much FUN I am having doing it.

I am like so many others I have read comments about, looking for a course that would take me through the way the Old Masters painted.

Your course is unique, not finding anything like it anywhere. I want to thank you so much for putting all of the effort into making this course so magnificent.

The Life of a young Filipino Artist

Paintings by Jireh Brian Dimalanta

My name is Brian and I’m a 17 years old artist from the Philippines. When I was a child I never really had a passion for arts but back in 2014 when I was just 14 years old, a fateful encountered happened when I saw a 5 tubes set of Daler Rowney Georgian Oil Paint on our local stationery. I was wondering why would five tubes of paint be so expensive and because of my curiosity and I bought it without knowing that those five tubes of paint would push me so far into the art world.

One of the greatest challenge that I’m facing right now is that there are only few ateliers that teaches the classical method and even if there are some I can’t afford. I always wanted to enroll in a traditional art class because I wanted to learn the sophisticated and disciplined way of painting of the masters and I am sure that with the Old Masters academy and their passion to share their knowledge in arts, I will be able to achieve such level of expertise. …

New York is a magical place, I met a lot of artists here and I got inspired by them. Also, the museums in New York always there to give me numerous resource to learn. I am interested in the old master style of painting. I try to figure out their techniques. I find it hard to make a consistent process of painting like the old masters do.

I would like to learn more about the process and sequence of every step to finish an old master style painting. I think the Old Master Academy is a perfect place for an artist like me who want to learn the old master techniques.

Also, the online resource is really convenient for everyone who doesn’t have time to go to school. …

It would be amazing to learn how to paint like the old masters!

Paintings by Daniela Goncalves

Hello! I’m Daniela I live in Portugal and I’m 44 years old.

I love to paint. Painting allows me to access parts of myself that I do not know. When I paint I’m always happy.

I would like to win this course because the kind of painting I practice is intuitive and expressive. Getting to learn how to paint like the old masters would be amazing! I think the combination of these two art forms could result in very interesting works. …

Without extra schooling I will not get much better than I am now

Paintings by Hans Mozer

My name is Hans Mozer and am 60 years.

I only started to paint seriously after I’ve been back from an eleven year short adventure in Benidorm, Spain(1993-2004). With hard work every night (even Christmas and new year) as bar owner, singer/entertainer in clubs and bars and as a songwriter at daytime.
Due to health problems of my wife we returned back to Holland.


1992 I painted my first few painting and made some sculptures.
From 2006 I worked with oilpaint only.

September 2016 I cut off the thumb of my preference hand. I’m a lefty. Fast surgery saved my thumb, but it has become static, almost impossible to write, draw or paint. With months of practice I was able to continue my painting with a handicap. My last oil painting ‘The Battle’ , 185x140cm, has partly been painted with my right hand and is almost ready. …
