Hope for being a better artist
Artwork by Antonius Michael
… I’ve been drawing since i was a kid and some people would praise me for good art except my family never encouraged that as a career path, so unfortunately my skills didn’t develop too much.
That said, I love drawing, I love painting, and I want the opportunity to take all the dozens upon dozens of ideas I have in my head, put into the world for others to enjoy. …
…Lately, i discovered old master works and that topics really make me interested again as an artist.
I was really excited to start practicing and was happy to start quickly improving on old masters academy because i think its the most comprehensive old master course in the internet right now.

I struggle to find someone to teach me more in depth understanding of art
Artwork by Kathleen
… My artistic challenges is the technical part of art. The “rules” of art. I struggle to find someone to teach me more in depth understanding of art and how to use the rules to express yourself.
Everybody just tells to just express myself, but I want in depth understanding of art and its form of expression.

I want to produce ultra-realistic paintings
Artwork by Roby
Art is something that comes naturally for me. Drawing is a continuous learning process for me, but I was very quick at learning different media… and this was way before the internet.
My environment was one big art reference for me; and I wanted to paint the items that I see every day from an artistic and scientific perspective: I want to produce ultra-realistic paintings, regardless of materials. My mother was against it, though; to a point that physical abuse became the default to stop me from producing artworks. I resorted to working on my art at night that caused me to eventually wear prescription glasses, but I continued to produce when I can. …
Art is all about your imagination

I am an 16 years old artist from India and I have been following your academy from a long time and old masters and atelier training inspired me so much, but never able to afford a training.
Art is one of the most important things in my life, right now I am in my high school and after completing that I would surely pursue career in art field. …
I had a dream which put me on the path to oil painting
Artwork by John
I’m a Marine Corps veteran, who later in life received a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). I started drawing to help with my cognitive functions (problem solving). From there I went on to painting by numbers, then oil painting. I’m at a point now where I’m stagnant, I’m not growing as an artist. I’m not even close to where I’m comfortable to be. I had a dream which put me on the path to oil painting. I want to accomplish that dream. …
I spend most of my extra money on art supplies. So I have nothing left to spend on any kind of instruction videos. I do at times I am able to watch a YouTube video, but as you know it’s not the same as having hands on instruction.
