How to paint like the Old Masters using modern materials
I am being intrigued and fascinated, almost fanatic, about the great 15th century, it´s kind of natural and decided by faith that I should also learn to paint like the magnificent masters Da Vinci, Caravaggio, Titian, Michelangelo.
And likewise the later an not less magnificent Poussin and Rembrandt – it just hasn’t happened yet. …
I’m Le Phung and I’m from Vietnam. Five years ago, I was a passionate graphic designer. I dreamed that I can make oil painting portraits of my father, my mother, and my daughter. But it was really hard because I’ve drawn on a computer.
A while ago I decided to pursue my childhood dream of painting in oil, but I did not know where to start. Fortunately, I have found online art courses – Web Art Academy and Drawing Academy where I can learn oil painting and drawing at home. These courses so much necessary knowledge about painting and drawing from basic to advanced levels, have easy to understand and follow video lessons and many bonuses.
These lessons helped me to improve my drawing and painting skills and understand art I love so much more deeply.
I am an amateur who has always loved art, but when I told my parents I wanted to major in art, after a lengthy silence, my mom simply said, “But you like to eat.” So I majored in the sciences. Great career, but sure missed the Art.
But now, many decades later, the Old Masters Academy is a dream come true – the courses I couldn’t take when younger are now readily available whenever I am ready to learn. And they are worth watching repeatedly! …
I grew up among my grandfather’s brushes and paints. I learned from him the abc of the drawing. I drew in childhood until the teenage age but I gave up disappointed that I can not prepare myself and evolve, become a professional painter.
I’ve been thinking a few times to go to art college but I did not have anyone to prepare me for and I was not happy with what I was doing! Now, thanks to Vladimir and Natalie courses, I have overcome that moment! 😉
Art has become a permanent concern for me, my researches have never ceased and will not stop here. My current attempt is to make my artistic experiments a professional work and I would like to learn about art everything. Maybe I will never succeed but it’s the way I want to live. Old master academy may be the lesson I still need, or a drop of an ocean.
I know that I am far from the realm called Art, but the tools to decipher this mystery I can find to Natalie and Vladimir, and I am willing to learn from anyone who is willing to give me from his knowledge. …
I am self taught and started painting in 1999. Recently, after a visit to Vienna, I became intrigued and a bit obsessed by skin tone… and realised that it was the art of glazing that captured my imagination.
The Old Masters captured this so well and are a constant inspiration.
So, for a couple of years, this is what I have been doing, or shall I say attempting to do..art is my therapy, my best friend, my only..every day.
I want to be able to paint well, not for an audience, bur for myself..I have learned quite a bit from the academy and hope to use it for the rest of my life. …
Painting is life to me.
I retired from dentistry to take care of my husband.
To manage stress I discovered I was able to paint.
I took the web art academy classes for oil portrait and loved it. …
