Cutting Through the Canvas

Artwork by Linder Kaur

Me? I guess it’s about living life in the fullest way possible including the placement of Art in your life. I paint sporadically. Sometimes full of Passion turning out a dozen paintings.., and then sometimes abject disappointment with my projects that lie sitting on the shelf.

I think its due to lack of learning the basics why the drawings and paintings never match what goes on inside my head. I am battling through the Anatomy Master Class and have learned a lot. Takes a lot of repetition to train the brain. I have seen the difference the course has made with my figurative paintings. Now the people I paint look more lifelike, have movement and don’t look so arthritic. …

I want to leave a legacy behind through art

Artwork by Yasmeen

… The Master’s paintings seem so effortless and unique however when I watched videos on old masters academy website, I realised that dead layer was used with various other techniques. Such valuable information is not readily available on YouTube, and I am sure Old Masters Academy has a much bigger treasure of knowledge that an artist can learn from.

I have tough times and sometimes I am not happy with the outcome of my painting, I would consider myself fortunate if I get selected, I would utilize every lesson and perfect the techniques to better myself as an artist.

I am 40 and can’t go back to school to learn if I win this competition I will be able to fulfil my dream without quitting my job. Art is how I wish to leave my legacy behind.

I love the idea of being to learn from great artists like they’re still here, in an age where so much of our lives is on a screen, we need to make sure the ability to create beautiful art that tells a story and can be passed down the generations as a physical piece not just an image on a screen is not lost. …
