I want to learn the best techniques in oil painting

Artwork by Connie Resch

(connieresch.com)

I am a mom of two little girls and a self taught artist. I am finally now pursuing my true passion in art after many years of believing it was not a viable career option. I have been making art since I was a little girl and a secret dream of mine was to become a successful artist. However, I was too scared to go to art school and move in that direction.

I have been interested in realism from the very beginning while learning on my own, and now I want to learn the best techniques in oil painting. Art has always been an integral part of my life but now I am moving forward into an art career, and I believe that I can’t learn this subject on my own but that I need the advice of experts.

I want to learn the best techniques in oil painting

Some of the challenges are learning the techniques of the Old Masters because this information is not easily accessible or it is inaccurate and I want to learn it from a trusted source. I have been reading books on the craft and learning about refining linseed oil, grinding paints, making gesso, building panels etc. But I’d like to know more – what are the best pigments for certain areas? What order to paint in layers is best? How do I ensure my painting doesn’t crack? I don’t want to find out in 5-10 years that I was doing it all wrong!

I think the Old Masters Academy will give me the confidence to take my painting to the next level. I want my paintings to be my legacy and to last longer than me. I also want my art to sustain me financially in the future, and if I have learned the craft well enough I might want to teach others who are learning too!

People should vote for me because I am dedicated to learning and so that I can be an example to all those people who are being pulled between the ‘safe’ career and what actually makes their heart happy.

I want to win this Competition and I need your help!
