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.
