How to paint like the Old Masters using modern materials
… Work has been a challenge when I want to make time for art, now being self employed I have time!
I want to learn more techniques that the old masters used! I want to be confident to do portraits, and do one of each of my children and grandchildren.
I really want to win so I can take my art to a higher level. the Old Master Academy results look amazing and I want this!
A vote for me is a vote for a 63 year old artist who wants to keep on learning!!
… It’s only in the locked down time that I got my painting instincts back together as there was no other way to express my interest to keep myself busy.. did I take some time out to start my hobby all over again..
I had never tried painting human figures before.. but was interested in still life, scenery, landscape painting.. but as there seemed to be ample time to try out new areas like human figures.. that required complete concentration,. I did try out some works of Salvatore Dali & Rubens paintings. …
… One of my dreams is to be a painter like Van Gogh in the future. So I am really interested in learning the techniques of his paintings and other impressionist painters such as Paul Signac, Maurice Prendergast, Andre Derain and Monet.
I think the Old Master Academy is one useful website to help people like me to learn the right patterns of original painting as well as meet the right people in this category. I am happy to visit this website to develop my abilities.
I am a lover of nature and my favorite activity (after making art) is hiking in the woods near my home.
I draw a lot of inspiration from the woods and creek near my house and have painted many scenes from the park. I have drawn and painted most of my life. I have been a graphic designer throughout my professional career and owned a graphic arts studio for many years. My subjects run the gamut, but I love portraiture and landscapes the most.
My landscapes often include trees and the trees often exhibit human qualities. I have recently taken several life drawing classes and find that I approach my drawings of the human body as landscapes.
I love drawing and painting the subtle movement of light on the human form…
I’ve mostly been a self-taught artist until very recently and I’m currently looking for oil painting teachers and ateliers in real life and I would love to have access to all of Old Master Academy’s resources. I feel like I have come to a point in my journey where I need guidance to improve even further.
My biggest struggle when it comes to art is time. I constantly feel like I’m in a race against time, against myself. I go through stages of painting 8-10 hours a day, and then not even touching a pencil for weeks. I am trying to change this by giving myself a more rigid schedule. …
I grown up liking drawing because I lived near to the a church with a lot of picture in it. Since then my entire life best friend is art.
I always wanted drawing different pictures. I wanted to learn painting but could not afford the payment. I think the old academy will help me to do so. …
