How to paint like the Old Masters using modern materials
I have been in love with drawing and painting since I was a child but majored in science and worked in the nuclear industry for nearly 30 years – only painting when between jobs.

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. …
