I have gone as long as 10 years without picking up a brush

I have gone as long as 10 years without picking up a brush …

Artwork by Linda Hauser

As a child, I spent part of my summers on the picnic table, drawing and painting with any supplies I could find. I used #2 pencils, crayons, cheap water colors of the type that came in those plastic containers with 6 or so colors, and the oil paints that came packaged in paint by numbers kits.

As an adult, I began to take an occaisional workshop or class through the local Student Art League, quite sporadically, over the next few decades….I have gone as long as 10 years without pickng up a brush….I am finally at a point in my life where I can finally dedicate time and effort to learn, improve and create art. I am most inspired by places, people, or things I have experienced and have recently painted some works en plein air. …

At the age of 63 now I still want to learn

Artwork by James E Amidon

As early as I can remember, I wanted to make Art my life. Since the age of 5 years, I have been striving and pushing myself to be the best I could be. Drawing almost every day in my adolecent years up through high school, I spent hours on copying out of magazines and photos to achieve that most realistic level.

In High School there was no Art teacher so again I would take every opportunity after school to hide in my drawing, developing my shading and composition skills. …

Painting is my passion

Painting is my passion – more a raison d’etre – the balance that makes life in heavy industrial selling complete.

I am not what one traditionally calls a painter: someone who has been trained to wield the brush to give vent to creative outpourings of the soul. On the contrary, I am a self taught …

My Art Story

Art by Richard Langley

I used to be good at drawing, but my school did not offer art tutoring of any kind, so my natural talent was not developed from the childhood. In spite of this, I wen to a local art school hoping for a better guidance, yet our art teachers only gave us assignments and spent a minute or two critiquing our work. Looking back, I just think how much time has been lost and how my art wold be different should I have proper art education from beginning.

I consider myself a self-taught artist. Every time I visit a museum, I feel an urge to paint and draw. I just want to make great masterpieces the old masters were able to create.

Art is my first and only love

… My artistic challenges are figure painting and color mixing. I want to learn the techniques of old masters like how to achieve chiaroscuro, painting fluid drapery, painting floral designs on clothing, jewelry and to be able to draw figures from imagination without having a model reference and also learn how to mix colors to achieve better quality artwork.

I think old masters academy is excellent because they are all about the classic techniques of old masters which is exactly what I want. …
