Oil Painting by Breno Rossini

I want to learn how to paint people like the old masters

Hello, My name is Breno Rossini, I’m Brazilian and I’m 21 years old. I live in Espírito Santo, state near to Rio de Janeiro, and I am a student of Visual Arts at the federal university of my state.
My biggest challenge is to draw and paint human figures, because although it is what I love to do, it is the part that I have the most difficulty.

My professional goal is to be a classical painting teacher, so I think the OLD MASTERS ACADEMY is the best option I could find to achieve my goal because it is a very complete and didactic course that demonstrates adding much knowledge to your students. …

Paintings by Charlotte Jane Kessler

So many muses. So little time.

Although I trained in fine art at collage I didn’t paint at all! I was hooked on the shape and stories of the human body and made body casts and photographs to explore themes of attachment, and memory.

The paintings submitted for this competition are the 3rd time I have ever used oils. I was so grateful for the Old Master Academy webinars because I literally knew nothing about oil painting before. Every morning I would start in my studio with their video and watch one lesson before starting from there. It was slow and very satisfying process. They showed me every step of the way. No questions were left unanswered and I felt supported in my new venture.

My painting techniques got better every day and artist friends of mine even commented on how much I was improving and not to give up on those tough days! …

Paintings by Anna Festa

No other art courses come close!

Hi , I’m Anna and I have been an artist for over 40 years. Art to me is not just a passion, it’s me, it’s the way I think, feel and express myself. I put my heart into art, and it truly is my therapy. I have been instructed in commercial art, and some fine art.

Many years back, I had the opportunity to be introduced to the painting style of the old masters, and fell in love with the different techniques to produce depth.

However, I have moved and the place where I am at truly has nothing to motivate me. …

I KNOW I CAN LEARN TO PAINT

Hi, I am a determined focused woman who wants to paint strong sensual women. I have NO “natural” talent, and am finding it hard to learn to draw…but I know I can LEARN–I have taken lots of weekend workshops and gone to life drawing, but it is just not quite happening…I think this might be the answer.

I want to learn to make the pictures in my head come to life on the canvas.

If I win this course I will alter my daily schedule to include 2 hours a day to work the program. …

Artwork by Charmaine Barber

I want to get better

Me. Charmaine Barber. Age 56. I am not a shallow person and can be over-sensitive or go the other way and am hurtful without realising. Life is a challenge and art takes very little place in my life at the moment. I want it to have more place but I’m self-employed and sell Polish pottery instead.

I grew up in a caravan and then in a children’s home and then was left to my own devices. I tried to commit suicide. Not what I wanted or needed in my life. Several other things happened to me which I won’t go into detail about as they affect other people in my life. Then I managed to stop crying after 20 years and started to get my life straight after an extremely hard episode.

I have taken on the challenge of running a half marathon for the first time in my life. I am doing it for a friend who died of motor neurone disease in 2015, she was only in her mid forties. I’ve only started running in October last year. …

Artwork by Luan Ricardo Friant

An artist looking for inspiration

My name is Luan Ricardo Friant, I am a self-taught student. I’ve been drawing for about 4 years and I’ve been painting for 3 years.
I’m Brazilian and I’m always doing my best to improve my knowledge, especially with the contrubuições of the great masters.

I work with oil painting, drawing charcoal and graphite. I have already participated in a collective exhibition in my city, Aracaju. I study Rembrandt’s techniques in a deeply personal way. Nowadays I study the realist school, I believe that life without art would have no purpose. …

Paintings by Katerina Smirnova

I am a self-taught artist

All my pictures are reflecting the present moment, they drop you into the here and now. What can be more actual, more up to date than people and their alive emotions? …
