I am really interested in the techniques of the old masters

Artwork by Alfredo

Hello I am an artist, I live in Naples and I am really interested in the old technique of the masters! that I already use for my paintings but if I win I will be really happy to know your techniques too !!

I would like to explore various topics: for example what colors the masters of the past used, what kind of preparation they did on their canvases and so on. I am an artist for the most part self-taught, I have always tried to know all the secrets of painting but I have also attended courses with some English and other Russian masters and also an Italian, but each of them has his own technique suitable for the type of painting they do. …

I returned to drawing and painting

Artwork by Crystaline Randazzo

… I’ve been following the Old Master Academy videos and newsletters and I’m fascinated by the idea of applying old techniques to new materials and very inspired by the level skill executed in these works.

In addition, Old Master Academy offers me the opportunity to learn art anywhere while my ex-pat lifestyle means that I have to move every few years. Life abroad means constant change and transition and I rarely have the opportunity to have a consistent art teacher in many of the places I live. This is a win-win for me! …

You’re never too old to start paint!

You don’t know anyone who is happier to be retired than I am!

When I retired in 2013, I was trying to decide on what to do with my time. My wife suggested that I should pursue my art! So I jumped in with both (size 14) feet!…

… Finally, there is time, so at 73 years old I am now pursuing a new, full-time career as an artist! …

I want to paint my vision into reality

Artwork by Olivia Anderson

“Since I was a child, drawing and painting has been a passion of mine, but life has only now presented me a change to embrace this passion. With some effort, I can now work and study at the same time, I admit that is very difficult in terms of time and expenses, but my heart smiles to me at the end of the day.

Old Masters Academy review by V. Salonen

Artworks Before and After the Old Masters Academy course

Unfortunately, I do not have any “before” artworks to showcase as I just started on my artist’s way. I always thought that to draw you have to be an artist, and for me, as an IT support engineer, there is nothing to do with a pencil apart from making notes. I become an IT support engineer because it was my parents’ wish. I could not have my own opinion on this subject because as they put it, I was “too young to know for sure what is good for me and what is not.”…

My greatest hope is to become a self-sufficient artist. I’m twenty-eight right now, and I have calculated that I need at least three years of painting and preparing a strong portfolio of artworks to change my current profession for my dream occupation—to be an independent artist, specifically a portrait painter. …

Nostalgic whipped cream memories

Artwork by Marianne Schilstra

My name is Marianne Schilstra, 53 years of age, married with a farmer and I live in the northern part of The Netherlands. Since my childhood, I like drawing and painting. But due to life circumstances, there was not always time for it and I was’t allowed to join the Art Academy by my parents unfortunately.

I’d like to learn more skills like painting how the Old Masters did it.
I really love your painting and drawing academy and the way you teach art online. And who wouldn’t want to get a chance to win this wonderful Old Masters course. …

Artworks Before and After the Old Masters Academy course

I saw an Old Masters Academy’s student’s feedback, where she shows her before and after portraits, so I decided to share my progress as well. …

Thank you for the course and above all for explaining how to mix paints more efficiently; it was a big challenge for me, as I often mixed wrong colors and wasted a lot of paint.

I am prepared to commit every available moment to my art

After years of putting my artistic pursuits aside and working to provide a comfortable home and lifestyle for my family, it is now my turn to return to those dreams and develop a strong artistic position within the world of Artists. …

I aim to learn and promote the traditional classical style of painting to a high degree as I feel this skill has been lost over the past 150 years or so. I want to lead the way in realist painting and teach upcoming artists there is more to true art than throwing paint at a canvas and making up a story to suit the result of the splattered paint on the canvas.

From what I can gather, the Old Masters Academy is what the world needs now to bring reality (and Realism) back. …

The eternal student and the professional artist

Artwork by Guy Perl

… During my degree, after two years I started to get frustrated when I realized I just don’t have enough tools in the university to express myself. I wanted to learn more about old masters academic technique and to become a a figurative realistic artist. I started to read a lot of technique books from the library, study anatomy and color theory and purchasing instructional videos of artists. …

Old Master Academy methodology have always fascinated me. I would like to win the membership so I can study more. Please vote for me.
