How to paint like the Old Masters using modern materials
Im an advertising graduate, and in the last year I have been trying to make a career change to something even more creative as illustration.
My biggest obstacle right now is that my painting needs a lot of improving; I actually need to start over.
Hi! My name is Monika. I live in Poland, in small town near the Baltic sea. I love coffee, classical music, learn how to play classical guitar and absolutely love to crochet. Also I can sew so from time to time I sew new skirts for me and my Mama. …
… I would like to win the Old Masters Academy™ course because I want to teach in future. This is great opportunity to grow better painters in future. Maybe I could establish my own art school. …
I did not attend any art school , learned painting from my own experience and by visiting each and every museum and exhibition , possible. Sure there are some mistakes in my works , or at least something that I do not like. But I am not sure that it is bad.
Now I can call myself an artist , after changing many occupations in my life , each time starting something that not just was not in plan ,it does not come to my dreams even. For me it is not just grate – it is much more.
In physics, math , engineering wrong idea is useless idea , nothing to do about it. But art is using also ideas that are wrong … something in painting is wonderful , something is ugly… both lives together. Painting is especially valuable to the artist – who else can say to himself ‘ today I did heaven and earth’ , also people can look at the art and found my idea or some other idea or impression sometimes ideas or visions, that I never imagine. …
35 years ago I was a young aspiring artist. Life’s challenges got in the way and my passion for creating art was lost inside of me without a knowing of how to be released.
Over the last few years I attempted to create art in many different mediums. It was when I discovered oil painting that I felt as if I had come home. I can not describe the joy I feel when I am painting on a canvas with oil paints. The art is pouring out of me. All the years without creating seems to be coming out all at once.
I did attend art school for one year many, many years ago. Otherwise I am a self taught artist.
I want to improve upon my lighting and color mixing. …
