How to paint like the Old Masters using modern materials
Hello to you all art lovers,
My name is Emma, I live in France, and I love to draw since I am a child.
I love French Old Masters for at least two reasons. First they have the technical heritage of the western renaissance, and they invented a new artistic style which is called “Roccoco” it means “Rocaille” in French.
Hello, I’m an Intuitive Artist and I use Art as a channel to connect Superior Dimensions and Cure. For me Art is Medicine.
I always had a very naive drawing style and enjoyed to play with my inner child drawing a lot that way.
Last year I had only 3 private drawing classes and I jumped to a completely new level. …
… With a fascination of Leonardo da Vinci for many years, it took a hospital visit and the chance reading of “The Saviour of the World” to renew my passion for painting , in particular Fine Art and Renaissance. The Old Masters have been a fascination for the world and reading the story and history of Salvator Mundi, motivated me to channel Leonardo’s technique and spirit. The painting was completed in August 2021 is a replica of the original Salvator Mundi. Taking over 10 months to complete, I sent an image to some of the leading Old Master historians and Leonardo experts in the world. The responses he received were amazing (see below) …
Hi! My name is Rebecca and I love drawing. When I was little I was always creating things with objects from around my house. Now I am older I don’t do that as much but I love drawing and my favourite kind of artwork at the moment is collage. I have suffered with mental disabilities and was told by a few people that I wouldn’t do much in life even though they didn’t say it like that they said it underhandedly. I used to find studying and academic work incredibly hard but now I totally love learning new things.
As long as I can remember art has been the essence of my life. It nourished me when I was lonely and without art I would have died for sure, as life was very painful. It was as if all my nerve ends were exposed at the surface of my body, so whatever was said or done which wasn’t tender and sweet, came as destroying swords into me. And there was so much hate and sorrow around me….
So I drew. And made little figures out of what material I found. Going to the Art Academy was the most logical step. I couldn’t relate to the atmosphere of Art Galleries and I preferred to work free in commissions.
So whatever I did, portraits, jewellery, books, applied arts, seize didn’t matter but the people I worked for had to be sweet. …
I am a mom of two little girls and a self taught artist. I am finally now pursuing my true passion in art after many years of believing it was not a viable career option. I have been making art since I was a little girl and a secret dream of mine was to become a successful artist. However, I was too scared to go to art school and move in that direction. …
… I think the Old Masters Academy will give me the confidence to take my painting to the next level. I want my paintings to be my legacy and to last longer than me. I also want my art to sustain me financially in the future, and if I have learned the craft well enough I might want to teach others who are learning too! …
