This course is just what the doctor ordered
Paintings by Bill Thoms
I’ve always been artistically inclined, and have been drawing since I can remember.
I have continued to draw over the years and promised myself I would continue to create when I began working full time. Unfortunately, finding time to develop skills over the years has been a challenge.

I started drawing to improve my technical design skills, but I had no idea I’d enjoy it this much!
Artwork by Alara Deniz
I’m currently working towards finishing my mechanical engineering masters degree while working part-time. I started drawing fairly recently in order to improve my technical design skills, but I had no idea I’d enjoy it this much! Drawing is a form of meditation for me. It doesn’t only make me a happier person, but it also makes me a better engineer by teaching me to be a better observer.
I’ve been drawing with ink and charcoal for the 14 months, and I’d been feeling a bit intimidated by the idea of painting until recently. I tried watercolor before. Although I appreciate it very much, I want to create more depth and texture, hence I want to learn oil painting. …
Life is an art gallery
Paintings by Stasia Fisher

Steps of portrait painting
Painting process by Shashi Hemant
Hello,
I am fascinated with the Old Masters art and have enrolled in this online course to learn how to use painting techniques that are not taught in contemporary art colleges.
The information I found in the Old Masters Academy video lessons is very helpful. I watch every video several times and every time i find new things to learn.
My challenge in portrait painting is to achieve likeness of a person I’m portraying and capture the expression especially when I paint people I know personally.
This is a portrait of my husband. It is the fastest one I ever created – it took me five days and I’m glad with results.
Thank you for making the Old Masters Academy course for students like me; I am learning here a lot!
