Old Masters Academy review by Oswaldo Hernandez

Before and After by an Old Masters Academy student

When I saw Vermeer’s girl for the first time on my travel to Europe, in summer 2014, I promised myself I would have this painting in my possession. As there is no chance to get the original, obviously, I decided to make an exact copy of it. …

… In this course, I have learned so many new things about oil painting techniques that were never mentioned during all that time I spent in an art college. My college teachers never told me about imprimatura, dead colors, glazings… I wonder if they knew these things. …

Old Masters Academy review by Lucas Bakker

Before and After by an Old Masters Academy student

… Although I still consider myself a beginner, I already like my portraits done in techniques I learned from the lessons in the Old Masters Academy course.

There is a long road in front of me — my aim is to reach the level of mastery I see in paintings of the Old Masters.

In theory, I understand all instructional lessons from the Old Masters Academy, but I feel that I still lack practice—that’s why I can’t paint on canvas what I imagine, however theoretically I understand how to do it. …

Old Masters Academy review by Barbara 

Before and After by an Old Masters Academy student

I am a happy grandma of three grandchildren.

I’m a single mom of two, and I work as a social worker. When I was a child, I did quite well in art classes and enjoyed drawing a lot. I was thinking that one day I would start living my life as I had dreamed. Each New Year I wrote a new year’s resolution with a hope that I would definitely find some time for learning art again. Sometimes I felt so desperate and hopeless that my dream would ever come true. …

…I can only imagine what my painting skills would be today if I’d taken this course thirty years ago, when I was a bit younger.

Old Masters Academy review

Hello,

I am a designer and an artist for quite a long time. I am used to read a lot of articles online and the Old Masters Academy seems to be quite interesting.

I am very happy to say that it is a rewording programme. I have been watching Academy video lessons for many hours. They are very well edited and provide clear explanations and a lot of interesting and practical information.

Old Masters Academy review by Maria Oliynyk

Before and After by an Old Masters Academy student

I studied painting in Kharkiv. I painted and drew well in academic style. I painted in separate brushstrokes in the manner of Repin and Sargent. But when I was a student and afterwards, I had never come across any teacher who would teach me how to paint like the Old Masters. I could copy Old Masters’ works in museums, but it was always a copy made in rough brushstrokes. I tried to do sfumato by smoothing the paint on the canvas, but it was ALWAYS simply a simulation of the Old Masters — I could never achieve their real effects.

I’m attaching my student’s artwork, which is very academic and not “Old Mastery” at all as I would like it to be. …

Old Masters Academy Review by Johann Krammer

Hello, my name is Johann Krammer.

I started painting in oils a few years ago and quickly realized that to learn classical painting I need good instructions from professional art teachers and artists.

So, I became a student of the online video course – Old Masters Academy™

This course is exactly what I was looking for. It is packed with so useful information about oil painting materials, color theory, traditional painting techniques, video lessons on how to paint like the Old Masters staring with preparing of a canvas, imprimatura and underpainting, building-up colors and finishing with glazing and varnishing…
