Art is an Existence not a Hobby

Artwork by Lou Spina

I am a 75 year old artist. Have been creating art since I was a very young child. My career was in commercial art. I attended the High School of Art & Design and went on to attend Brooklyn Community College where I took their Commercial Art course in advertising. …

… What I want to learn is the foreshortening of the figure and the coloration of the figure.
Old Masters Academy is the ultimate place to learn the drawing and painting of the figure.

I believe the course will help me improve my drawing and painting skills to where I want to be.

People should vote for me because I am a dedicated artist …

Old masters Academy is the best place to learn from. They really care about you go the extra mile to make sure you know your work.

I want to win this course because the more I can learn the better of an artist I will become. I don’t want to be taught by any other place but Old Masters Academy. …

Painting process of Gilberto Mello, Old Masters Academy student

How I Painted My First Reproduction of an Old Master’s Art

Gilberto Mello, Old Masters Academy studentMy name is Gilberto Mello, I have been a student in the Art Academy courses for a number of years. Just recently I joined the Old Masters Academy program, with Natalie Richy. I am enjoying the Old Masters courses a great deal and I am pleased by the very comprehensive and easy to follow lessons provided in the program, which I can review as many times as necessary, learning at my own pace.

I thrive to become a better artist every step of the way, so in my attempts to produce new paintings I tend to observe and question how the Old Masters have reached their glorious results.

Contemporary Master

Artwork by Sue Marie

To me, art is a careful cooperation of acquired skill and personal expression. Throughout my life, I’ve always felt a strong need to create artwork, both for the sheer fun of it, but also because I wanted my ability to improve. It wasn’t until college that I realized and ultimately decided that I should strive to make a career of my passion.

I’ve come to learn about many types and styles of art, but above all I admire the beautiful, classical artwork of the old masters. Unfortunately, I’ve found that as I study art in my classes, I don’t have the opportunity to improve my skills in the way I want. Other types of art like abstract, cartoons and stylized illustrations are very popular right now, and it seems like classical fine art is not getting the attention it very well deserves. For this reason, I am interested in the Old Masters Academy. …

Old Masters Academy Review by Frans Arend Kamp

Old Masters Academy Review by Frans Arend Kamp

The story of my life

My name is Frans A. Kamp, nearly 75, born and living in the Netherlands. I started to draw at 12, then paint in watercolors and at 17 also with oil painting, and now completely dedicated to the Old Master painting methods.

Before I enrolled in the Old Master Academy course, I graduated from the Web Art Academy and the Drawing Academy online art courses.

I was involved in the Nuclear Vessel Industry and later moved to Technical and General Management. At 47 I started my own Engineering and consultancy Bureau and retired at 65.

Regarding the the Old Masters Academy, I have learned a lot from this online art course.

I was familiar with the Old (Dutch) Masters, but never had the change to see their painting techniques in real life, so I found Old Masters Academy video lessons very educational and easy to follow.
