How to paint like the Old Masters using modern materials
Hi, my name is Sandra Alina, I`m an art lover and I think that art expresses our inner reality.
For as long as I can remember I have had a pencil in my hand. I spent part of my childhood in a rural area of Romania. There was no art teacher or art classes at that time.
I have developed my drawing skills by myself and I have created my own world by drawing and painting every time I could. But I never found such good information and instruction before. …
Thank You!
Big thanks to all Old Masters Academy Art Competition participants and voters!

35 years ago I was a young aspiring artist. Life’s challenges got in the way and my passion for creating art was lost inside of me without a knowing of how to be released.
Over the last few years I attempted to create art in many different mediums. It was when I discovered oil painting that I felt as if I had come home. I can not describe the joy I feel when I am painting on a canvas with oil paints. The art is pouring out of me. All the years without creating seems to be coming out all at once.
I did attend art school for one year many, many years ago. Otherwise I am a self taught artist.
I want to improve upon my lighting and color mixing. …
I am a young artist and I have just kick started my art career.
Modern art schools do not have proper techniques and I would love to learn the techniques in Old Masters Academy course. Art takes a serious place in my life, basically it is my everything.
My challenges are when people think that I am not a serious artist. I am also financially unstable and I cannot afford this course.
I struggle with proportion and anatomy. People enjoy my artworks but for me I am personally not happy with the outcome. I am simply having a hard time teaching myself. I want to learn the techniques of the Old Masters taught by Natalie Richy because I want to have a more expanded knowledge of art and I am a huge follower of Natalie. …
My name’s Livio, I’m 29 years old and it’s about two years that I discovered my passion for painting.
I’m a musician, I study historical pianos in Conservatory of Perugia (ITA). My mother is an artist and thanks to her I’ve always breathe art since I was a child.
Art, in all of its forms, is the best way to communicate with yourself and the others, in my opinion.
As a self taught, I’ve began to paint without any instructions with acrylic colours, but now I paint in oil and make medium of my own. …
My name is Donette. I am 72 and have recently retired from nursing the aged and Altzheimer’s patients.
My dream has always been to do oil painting when retired. I have felt the urge to record the beauty that I see in nature and also to do portraits of people and animals that I also love dearly.
I have loved to paint since childhood. People have always liked my work but I know that I have to learn a lot more about the art of drawing and painting. I would love to paint without the fear of making a mistake, to use clean colours, to learn all about values and tones and to paint nice loose strokes where every brushstroke makes an impact. …
