Old Masters Academy review by Maria Ohamsky

Before and After by an Old Masters Academy student

From my childhood I wanted to be a manga artist — that’s why I took a student loan and studied illustration at Rhode Island School of Design. Family obstacles forced me to leave college, and the only work I could find was as a hotel receptionist.

“Before” – a drawing I did before I become a student of the Old Masters Academy

At my lowest point, a friend of mine from the college gave me a book titled Better Than College. This book has changed my life. I took it as guidance. I stopped playing the victim and started to find alternatives to college. One day, I stumbled upon the Old Masters Academy website. There, I realized that what I really want to do is not illustration but classical oil painting. This was a big shift in my understanding of art.

“After“ – my little sister Annie

I still continue working day shifts, but my evenings and weekends are busy with painting and studying at the Old Masters Academy course. I’m glad I can paint my loved ones and hope that one day I will be able to leave my day job to become a professional painter.

    Dear Maria

    Your sister’s picture is admirable. You have made incredible strides in your artistic journey. I am alone at the beginning of the journey, but when I see such works I get new impulses in Drawing academy. I can’t compete with you young people, my life is slowly running out, but I’m competing with myself.
    Congratulations on your beautiful portrayal of your sister and thank you to Mrs Natalia Richi and Mr Vladimir London for their leadership in the academy

    Dear Maria, thank you for sharing your story. I love the painting of your sister- particularly the viridian eye color contrasting with the red- it’s absolutely beautiful!
