We shouldn’t abandon what history can teach us

Artwork by Anya Grey

I’ve mostly been a self-taught artist until very recently and I’m currently looking for oil painting teachers and ateliers in real life and I would love to have access to all of Old Master Academy’s resources. I feel like I have come to a point in my journey where I need guidance to improve even further.

My biggest struggle when it comes to art is time. I constantly feel like I’m in a race against time, against myself. I go through stages of painting 8-10 hours a day, and then not even touching a pencil for weeks. I am trying to change this by giving myself a more rigid schedule. …

I wanted to draw and paint like the old masters

Artwork by Alejandro Las

… When I was young I wanted to draw and paint like the old masters, but unfortunatelly that school was “outdated” (I was told).
Hence, not having really where to learn I did some self studies, mainly from books.
Now that internet is here, I realize my old dream of drawing and painting figuratively is alive and kicking.
The Covid obliged us to stay home and change some of our plans. Because of that I took some courses that would enhance my drawing abilities.

My desire is to make a living out of painting and serving the world with my art.
Every day I dedicate between 1 to 2 hours to drawing. I am mainly interested in portraits. That has been my passion since I was a child. …

I love French Old Masters

Artwork by Emma Boche

Hello to you all art lovers,

My name is Emma, I live in France, and I love to draw since I am a child.

I love French Old Masters for at least two reasons. First they have the technical heritage of the western renaissance, and they invented a new artistic style which is called “Roccoco” it means “Rocaille” in French.
