I am a boy with a hobby in drawing and sketching

Artwork by Mitchell

My name is Mitchell. I am a 20-year-old Australian boy with a hobby in drawing and sketching. Mundane as this description sounds, I like to keep things simple ( it’s what Leonardo solicits after all; “Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication”).

However, I should amend drawing and sketching isn’t an entirely appropriate way of describing the hobby. I am more in the habit of trying to cultivate skills to clearly express the unique ideas that cross my mind almost daily. …

Painting is the greatest joy I know

Artwork by April Kim

… However, university art programs are void of the art instruction that would elevate my art practice to the next level. I specifically and exclusively work with oils and I am missing the training that I very much long for. I will be turning 59 years old next week and have more enthusiasm for making art than ever before. With further tools and knowledge from Old Masters Academy, I believe I could create paintings at the level I believe I have the capability to produce. …

Artwork by Sonya Ghanem

One of my favorite courses was oil painting. I liked painting with oil because you can easily mend your mistakes and even start painting on the same canvas all over again.…

Still I believe that portrait painting in oils like old masters would be a wonderful challenge. …

Art is my joy and therapy in isolation!

Artwork by Carmen

… My artistic challenges are to learn how to paint realistically, but in a loose and imaginative manner. I adore the artwork of the male and female Old Masters. They were the pioneering trail blazers of art and made such innovative discoveries in art techniques. The way they painted takes my breath away! I want to learn about all their art techniques! I want to know about their colour theory, how they mixed colours effectively, their different layering techniques, and how they painted human skin, hair, clothing, animal fur, bird feathers, and water realistically using modern materials. I want to paint portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and paint images that I see in my imagination using the painting techniques of the Old Masters. …

I am a self-taught artist with a great passion

Artwork by Grazyna Urbanek

… The Renaissance was a period in history that interests me a lot. I admire the skills and painting techniques that artists of that era had. These artists were able to display subtle lights, details, movements and emotions and even create an unbelievable atmosphere within their paintings. Antiquity in paintings of Sandro Botticelli specifically warms my heart. I hope that with the help of the Old Masters Academy course, I will be able to recreate some of his paintings to the best of my ability. I always had a big dream of attending a Fine Art School and learn from master artists, but never did because of the obstacles in my life. …

Painting is the most important thing in my life

Artwork by Zurab Eradze

… Improving art skills is not a project, it is a life-long process. Even the best artists never stop learning. Every step I take significantly determines the future of my personality.

I am sure, I will study the almost forgotten painting techniques of the Old Masters. As I read about the course, this curriculum is designed as a complete step-by-step system of both theoretical and practical knowledge from art vocabulary and art materials to how to paint like the old masters using modern materials. I will get constructive critique of my artwork by the tutor. This is the best art learning experience you can have without leaving your home. …
