how-to-draw-paint-I have been drawing and painting most of my life

I have been drawing and painting most of my life

Artwork by Charles Grissom

I am 72 years old and know it’s never too late to learn. I have been drawing and painting most of my life so art plays a major roll, especially now that I am retired. I am mostly self-taught.

In the 70’s I was fortunate to be living in Manhattan and I attended Art Students League taking drawing and painting classes for a few months. I was married and had two little girls and a great wife that helped me by working extra so I could pursue my art. Fearing I would never be good enough I abandoned my dream. …

I have a passion for drawing and painting

Artwork by Peta WILLIAMS

How to start is always a challenge whether it be the first step up to a blank canvas or placing a pen upon a clean blank page.
I am an Australian living in Sydney and apart from our catastrophic fires at moment I have a passion for drawing and painting. …

I would appreciate an opportunity to study at Old Masters Academy as it would refine my technique. I would be honoured people should vote for me because I am obsessed with art with learning and with perfecting my capabilities.

Go for oil – might be the right time for me

Artwork by Burkhard Leitner

I was painting since I was a child, with crayons, watercolors, pencils and everything else. With 14 I tried to enroll at artschool, but they refused me. So I turned away from drawing and painting for about 10 years.

Then I startet again and taught myself and learned from books and magazins. Watercolors and acrylics on canvas were and are my favourite materials, some attempts I made with digital painting on a drawing tablet, but it is not like painting with brushes and real colours.

I would like to paint like the old masters

Artwork by Sallie Day Mogerman

My older sister was our family artist. Thinking (erroneously) that there could be only one per family, I spent my youth pursuing Literature. While Dortha was studying portrait painting with a master portraitist I was striving for a Masters in English Lit. But when I saw the beautiful paintings she was producing, I thought, “Hey, I can do that!” …

For the past 15 years, I have been painting portraits at the Foundry Art Centre in Saint Charles, Missouri. But I am rarely satisfied with my work. I want to produce something better. I would like to paint like the old masters.

Learning and improving myself is never ending story

Artwork by Monika Mirella Bielinska

Hi! My name is Monika. I live in Poland, in small town near the Baltic sea. I love coffee, classical music, learn how to play classical guitar and absolutely love to crochet. Also I can sew so from time to time I sew new skirts for me and my Mama. …

… I would like to win the Old Masters Academy™ course because I want to teach in future. This is great opportunity to grow better painters in future. Maybe I could establish my own art school. …

I am passionate about painting

Artwork by Diana Licon

I have been painting for a number of years exploring a variety of mediums and styles. Art is healing for me through many instances in my life, including the drowning death of my only child. I do not have a child to leave behind, but can create artistic “children” that may last for hundreds of years.

I currently work in both oils and acrylic. I am exploring impasto techniques and have read that the old masters have explored and incorporated impasto in their work. I believe that Rembrandt, Titan and Rubens are a few who found value in this technique. I would like to learn more about this topic too. …
