… My artistic challenges are to learn how to paint realistically, but in a loose and imaginative manner. I adore the artwork of the male and female Old Masters. They were the pioneering trail blazers of art and made such innovative discoveries in art techniques. The way they painted takes my breath away! I want to learn about all their art techniques! I want to know about their colour theory, how they mixed colours effectively, their different layering techniques, and how they painted human skin, hair, clothing, animal fur, bird feathers, and water realistically using modern materials. I want to paint portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and paint images that I see in my imagination using the painting techniques of the Old Masters. …
… The Renaissance was a period in history that interests me a lot. I admire the skills and painting techniques that artists of that era had. These artists were able to display subtle lights, details, movements and emotions and even create an unbelievable atmosphere within their paintings.

I hope that with the help of the Old Masters Academy course, I will be able to recreate some of his paintings to the best of my ability. I always had a big dream of attending a Fine Art School and learn from master artists, but never did because of the obstacles in my life. …
