Old Masters Academy

I think the Old Academy Masters is exactly what I need!!!

Artwork by Vladimir

I started to paint almost as soon as I learned to walk.

The first canvas for me was a new wardrobe, which my parents bought the day before. On the main door I painted a handsome man. I thought everyone should like it. And immediately learned the first lesson: I’ll be not understood by my contemporaries.

For the next 50 years, I skipped painting classes :). But a year ago I decided that it’s never too late to start.

Now I study the academic drawing and watercolor. At the moment, I was very interested in classical oil painting. I would like to master the technique of old masters. …

Da Vinci Fanatic!

I am being intrigued and fascinated, almost fanatic, about the great 15th century, it´s kind of natural and decided by faith that I should also learn to paint like the magnificent masters Da Vinci, Caravaggio, Titian, Michelangelo.

And likewise the later an not less magnificent Poussin and Rembrandt – it just hasn’t happened yet. …

Old Masters Academy review by Le Thi Minh Phung

This course gave me a solid foundation so I could pursue my life-long dream

I’m Le Phung and I’m from Vietnam. Five years ago, I was a passionate graphic designer. I dreamed that I can make oil painting portraits of my father, my mother, and my daughter. But it was really hard because I’ve drawn on a computer.

A while ago I decided to pursue my childhood dream of painting in oil, but I did not know where to start. Fortunately, I have found online art courses – Web Art Academy and Drawing Academy where I can learn oil painting and drawing at home. These courses so much necessary knowledge about painting and drawing from basic to advanced levels, have easy to understand and follow video lessons and many bonuses.

These lessons helped me to improve my drawing and painting skills and understand art I love so much more deeply.

Old Masters Academy review by Linda Duckworth

Working toward my best

I am an amateur who has always loved art, but when I told my parents I wanted to major in art, after a lengthy silence, my mom simply said, “But you like to eat.” So I majored in the sciences. Great career, but sure missed the Art.

But now, many decades later, the Old Masters Academy is a dream come true – the courses I couldn’t take when younger are now readily available whenever I am ready to learn. And they are worth watching repeatedly! …

An other step …

I grew up among my grandfather’s brushes and paints. I learned from him the abc of the drawing. I drew in childhood until the teenage age but I gave up disappointed that I can not prepare myself and evolve, become a professional painter.

I’ve been thinking a few times to go to art college but I did not have anyone to prepare me for and I was not happy with what I was doing! Now, thanks to Vladimir and Natalie courses, I have overcome that moment! 😉

Art has become a permanent concern for me, my researches have never ceased and will not stop here. My current attempt is to make my artistic experiments a professional work and I would like to learn about art everything. Maybe I will never succeed but it’s the way I want to live. Old master academy may be the lesson I still need, or a drop of an ocean.

I know that I am far from the realm called Art, but the tools to decipher this mystery I can find to Natalie and Vladimir, and I am willing to learn from anyone who is willing to give me from his knowledge. …

Painting by Trix Render

Without art, life is hell

I am self taught and started painting in 1999. Recently, after a visit to Vienna, I became intrigued and a bit obsessed by skin tone… and realised that it was the art of glazing that captured my imagination.
The Old Masters captured this so well and are a constant inspiration.

So, for a couple of years, this is what I have been doing, or shall I say attempting to do..art is my therapy, my best friend, my only..every day.

I want to be able to paint well, not for an audience, bur for myself..I have learned quite a bit from the academy and hope to use it for the rest of my life. …

Paintings by Sam Pako

To Learn all I can from the past for a brighter future

My name is Samuel Antonio Maita (nicknamed Sam Pako). I am a 23-year-old artist on the rise, from Venezuela living in the United States.

I’m primarily self-taught in drawing, painting and photography from a very young age. I came across the Web Art Academy Course when it was first announced. From then on, I take the lessons slowly to learn all I can from them, for I am committed to progress my craft and my living as an artist.

Ever since I was a young boy, the artworks that fascinated me the most were the classics, especially works by the Italian maestro Leonardo da Vinci; I have learned a great deal from looking at his drawings.

Now that I have been taken up painting, I’m now interested in his work in oils. I’m now open to the teachings of other masters as well, masters like Rembrandt that soon grabbed my attention. …

Paintings by Szabo Timea

I can’t imagine my life without painting.

My name is Timea, I am 33 years old, and I’m fascinated by art since I was a 3 years old girl.

My grandmother allowed me to draw the inside of her furniture door, she always smiled, and told “I hope you will be a great artist like the Old Masters who painted the most beautiful wall murals in the Churches“. And now, her dream is my dream, and I want to make her proud of me, even if She is in the Heaven.

The Old Master Academy is the best course to learn what my professors did not teach me at the University. I finished also the Web Art Acdemy course – my father bought it for me, and there I learned so much precious techniques.

I can’t imagine my life without painting. …
