Portrait Painting Critique
I signed up for the Old Masters Academy course when it first launched, but only recently found the courage and inspiration to pick up my paintbrush again and put what I learned from you to practice.
This is what I’ve been working on. I would really appreciate it if you could share your opinion with me. I’d love to improve and pinpoint what I need to work on.
I want to paint like a professional
Artwork by Amber
My name is Amber. I never painted with traditional medium. The art piece I submitted for this competition is a digital painting. My degree and work are both unrelated to art. I started to learn how to draw last year. Now, I am seriously considering to become a freelance illustrator.
Unlike many artists who start to paint at young age, I did not receive any serious art training in childhood. During the pandemic, I took some art classes. Then my interest for art grows. …
Help me win a mentorship of Old Masters Academy
Artwork by Lidija
… My biggest artistic challenge is to create what I feel, the drawing itself, the realism is so new and did realize I need good foundations, to be able to create the good quality art.
I want to learn the new skills of realism, because I would like to combine that with my abstraction work. I’m exited to get to see the art history again…. Do you imagine how amazing it must be to get involved into discovery how Old Masters did paint with light? Absolutely amazing. I would love to be a part of this.
Old Masters Academy™ is a life time chance to get a mentor and a good quality program curriculum. …
I have always been thinking about old masters portrait painting
Artwork by Matthew Loffler
I am a medical graduate. I have been keen on painting since early childhood. Unfortunately, as I involved in medical school I could not spend as much as I should on painting and visual art. …
I have always been thinking about old masters portrait painting that how they painted the human faces so natural and smooth. Then, I stumble upon your website and Ms. Richi’s art works and I realized that how your paintings are close to Old Masters’ art pieces. …
I used to draw all the time
Artwork by Lalo Celi
I have always loved art. When I was a kid I used to draw all the time, but never worked with paintings until one of my daughters asked me to paint something for her. …
… I am self-taught, but I do understand that I need to learn from people who know and can teach the techniques that I admire from the masters, I need to learn from the best.
I want to learn the techniques of the masters, glazing, imprimatura. I have always admired artists like Rembrandt, Peter Paul Rubens, and many other from that era.
I have seen the results from many of the Old Masters Academy students, and the evolution of their technique is amazing, it is what I want.
