Old Masters Academy

Old Masters Academy Review by Johann Krammer

Hello, my name is Johann Krammer.

I started painting in oils a few years ago and quickly realized that to learn classical painting I need good instructions from professional art teachers and artists.

So, I became a student of the online video course – Old Masters Academy™

This course is exactly what I was looking for. It is packed with so useful information about oil painting materials, color theory, traditional painting techniques, video lessons on how to paint like the Old Masters staring with preparing of a canvas, imprimatura and underpainting, building-up colors and finishing with glazing and varnishing…

We live for Art !

Artwork by Yorgos Moses

After a lifetime living and working in an office environment, I took the big step a few years ago to resign and dedicate myself entirely to what I was in love with since I was a young child: drawing and painting…

… While I was working in my day to day job I was spending all my ‘pocket money’ on art books and especially books on the old masters: the Venetians, the renaissance guys, the flemish masters, etc. I was reading and consuming information on their lives, their art making, their environment and whenever possible, their technique. I was mesmerized and impressed on how dedicated their whole life was on their art and how much discipline they had on improving their draftsmanship…Anyway the amazing pieces of art they left for us and which is a feast for our eyes, is a living proof of that dedication. …

I dream of painting for a living

I am self taught artist with the internal need to create
