The path of perfection

Artwork by Heitber Andres Montilla

… Also I think (in my personal point of view) modern art is becoming boring because of the highest photographic realism that this style have, and my purpose is to preserve the richness of the old master’s style with a modern view of the world.
My art challenge is to acquire the knowledge to make my human painting more technical and harmonic, to tell a history and to make people feel inside of my art. …

… I think old masters academy is the better place in the internet I had found, they have a great and deeper content about classic art and it’s the content that many people like me are looking for. …

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 loved art and took it as a subject in secondary school. I spoke to my teacher about developing a portfolio in order to attend Art College. …

… 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.

In my drawings and paintings I am influenced by the old masters

Artwork by Marianna Nagy Lantos

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

After the birth of my children, I looked for the opportunity for home training, which I was able to do comfortably with the young children. When I saw my first Old Masters Academy training, I applied immediately and gladly. I loved the understandable, simple guidelines that made it easy to achieve spectacular success. During my studies, I liked the plant parts of the paintings, so I began to delve deeper into the world of plants and developed in that direction. Although I am currently painting with watercolor paint, I would later like to mix this knowledge Witteg oil painting and learn as much as I can. I love mineral historical pigments whenever I can, I paint with this type of paint. …
