Amazing course! Old Masters Academy review by Pauline

Old Masters Academy student

I am a retired grandmother who started painting about 12 years ago. I followed different painting courses, but was never very satisfied with the content and results.

I decided to self-educate myself in drawing and painting mostly with internet and books. I tried different mediums such as charcoal, pastels, acrylic, but I always came back to oil painting. I was always attracted to portraiture and wanted to learn and create portraits in oil. I did some portraits in charcoal and pastels, but none really in the oil. So this course has been quite a discovery and challenge for me.

Old Masters Academy review course student

A year ago I began studying this wonderful course – Old Masters Academy. I read and listened over and over again all the art lessons and art history. I was overwhelmed by all the information and richness of these art lessons. So much to learn and practice. Let me tell you, I was pretty scared. I had a lot of work ahead of me, but I enjoyed it so much.

Even if I’m retired, I am a very busy lady. I took my time and went through nearly all of the lessons and did the exercises. My goal was to paint a portrait in the style of the 16th century.

I followed the steps of the art lesson: How to paint using the Flemish Method. I struggled more than once and amended my portrait when I thought it was necessary. I tried to reproduce the features, look and expression as best as I could. Nothing is perfect in this world, but I think that I have succeeded in my task and I am very proud of my work.

If it had not been for this course, I don’t think I would have learned this well. Scumbling, velaturas and glazing aren’t unknown to me anymore.

I would like to thank the Old Masters Academy and their fine tutors for developing this excellent course. I’m not scared anymore and I think I will be doing many more portraits in the future.

A happy member and student of the Old Masters Academy.
