To paint like the old masters was always my aim since childhood

Artwork by Harald Brumberg

I started to paint with oil colors when I was ten years old as an autodidact. I always liked the old masters like Rembrandt, Rubens and Dürer.

As a teenager I wanted to become a portrait-painter. After finishing school I went one year to Paris to study arts.

A Chance to Finally Learn

Artwork by Sarah

Art has always been a love of mine and something I took great pleasure from. I am a teacher. I am married with children. I had a happy childhood and was good at school.

… I would love to win the Old Masters Academy™ course for many reasons. I really respect the work of these artists and always have. I want to be as good as them. I have no money for the foreseeable future. There’s no way I would have the time for full time college or the money. I can’t believe this has come up now because I’ve been asking for a sign to give me some direction for me and for my art. The Old Masters Academy™ has excellent advice and resources and has so much that I want to learn. I don’t want to go back to my job but need to have a purpose and a way to feed my children at the same time. I want to take the plunge and be the artist I’ve always wanted.

It is my old desire to learn the techniques of the old masters.
