How to paint like the Old Masters using modern materials
… In the last 10 years, among other things, I graduated from the Piarista grammar school in Kecskemét, I developed myself in a self-taught way, then I went to an online academy and evening school as a painter. Where I can learn the mysteries of painting from Contemporary Artists namely from János Zoltán Kovács and many other excellent artists. I also got my Certificate as a Graphic Designer and Painter here, which is the fruit of 4 hard years of work. …
… Even though the art material is expensive and many times I have to travel to nearby big city to get them, I still not give up practicing. I love to learn from different masters for different style, I had tried to learn from Van Gogh and DaVinci, Vermeer and I wish one day, I could be able to visit Europe to see those masterpieces in person. Since I am self-learning, it is often a trial and error. Sometimes felt frustrated, but I got never give up to learning from old masters.
On day I found Old Masters Acedemy course, I was surprise by its exist: it is an online education so even people from small town like me could have access the art education, which was not possible as before. It teaches the old masters’ technique that not many other classes focus. I hope I could learn from these techniques to bring my art creation into next level. …

With the use of this program, I can get the proper training to paint and communicate at a high level. Many people like me try to get back to the old skillset of the masters, but much of it is not being trained in modern day society or has been forgotten. This has been a struggle. …
… I am now retired and no longer encumbered with caregiving responsibilities and I’m able to consider my lifelong dream of becoming an accomplished artist. It’s time to realize my dream and embrace my passion.
I recently lost my youngest daughter and in my grief I turn to painting as consolation during times of sadness.
However, I have many obstacles in my pursuit of becoming the artist I want to be. …
…My favorite thing to paint is birds, because they are very fluffy and have easy shapes to paint. My favorite thing to draw are cartoons. I always imagine my self running a tv or Netflix show, so I always find myself drawing my characters in notebooks and sketch books, buts unlikely that I would be able to pitch my ideas since the animation industry is not the best in its current state. …
My name is Mitchell. I am a 20-year-old Australian boy with a hobby in drawing and sketching. Mundane as this description sounds, I like to keep things simple ( it’s what Leonardo solicits after all; “Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication”).
However, I should amend drawing and sketching isn’t an entirely appropriate way of describing the hobby. I am more in the habit of trying to cultivate skills to clearly express the unique ideas that cross my mind almost daily. …
