How to paint like the Old Masters using modern materials
Hi! My name is Monika. I live in Poland, in small town near the Baltic sea. I love coffee, classical music, learn how to play classical guitar and absolutely love to crochet. Also I can sew so from time to time I sew new skirts for me and my Mama. …
… I would like to win the Old Masters Academy™ course because I want to teach in future. This is great opportunity to grow better painters in future. Maybe I could establish my own art school. …
I have been painting for a number of years exploring a variety of mediums and styles. Art is healing for me through many instances in my life, including the drowning death of my only child. I do not have a child to leave behind, but can create artistic “children” that may last for hundreds of years.

… My home is my workshop. My living room is 30m2 also packed with paintings and my 4 studio easels. So i work at 6-8 paintings at the same time. 2 easels are handmade by me. In the summer i can work in my garden.
All i’m missing now is the technic to lift my work to a next level.
Me? I guess it’s about living life in the fullest way possible including the placement of Art in your life. I paint sporadically. Sometimes full of Passion turning out a dozen paintings.., and then sometimes abject disappointment with my projects that lie sitting on the shelf.
I think its due to lack of learning the basics why the drawings and paintings never match what goes on inside my head. I am battling through the Anatomy Master Class and have learned a lot. Takes a lot of repetition to train the brain. I have seen the difference the course has made with my figurative paintings.
